$2-8 USD / hour

10 year old kid who learnt acoustic guitar by subscribing to [login to view URL] needs help. He has been learning guitar since he was 8 years old. He has been singing since he was 3 years old almost everyday. He has learnt the practical way by following all the acoustic guitar patterns that were present on that website and has learnt many more patterns looking at youtube videos from other artists. He knows A to G minor and major chords. He also knows to play leads and solos(thats what he says). He sung live on 'Jesus Take the Wheel' using his guitar(both vocal and instrument) and in a similar way many other songs with guitar. He is good in strum patterns, finger picking, hamer ons, pull offs and slides and different types of guitar melodies but needs more perfection which will come with practice as he is cramped with many other activities. Maybe this means he has finished the beginners and intermediate level and now wants to go advance. Here is where he will need to learn the theory part too. Here is where you will play a role. Kindly find attached documents which he wishes to understand at his own pace. If you have something better to offer I am ok with that too. Please let me know. At his own pace means he has a habit of learning on his own so I don’t want to stop him from that. If you are going to use the attached documents then he will start going page by page and edit the document with his questions(which he will highlight) for you and send it across to you. You will need to simply elaborate that point using skype text or voice and help him out so that he moves ahead with that document. Again I would like to repeat that if you have the theory course that is better and you think it will help him good so I am open to check that document too and use it instead of what I attached which he got from to [login to view URL]

Hi there. I would be happy to help your son with his guitar. My name is Rob Jones. I am a musician and producer based in the UK and have extensive experience of all styles of guitar and have been playing professionally for over 20 years. Over the last 10 years I have also taught guitar to children and adults, and have also been involved in many guitar and recording workshops. I tend to teach more practice than theory as that's usually the way young people want to learn guitar, and I get the best results that way. My rate has to be relatively high as I'm in the UK, and I understand if this is too much. But with me you will get excellent communication and a professional yet friendly approach. Unfortunately I can't see the document you attached for reference, so if you would like to discuss further, then I would need to see this for clarity. Many thanks, Rob.

Hi, as a guitar teacher I don't think you can hire me for 40 hrs per week, even at 6$ per hr. If your student needs a question asked throughout the week there is no problem, I check my email often. He can upload songs as attachments as he needs, or contact by Skype or video at arranged times. The library I have for guitar instruction specific to guitar is over 2 TB at all levels, and in all styles. The student will have access to whatever he desires. When one speaks of music theory, it doesn't change-- what is taught on a piano is taught on a guitar or a flute. So I teach Western Tonal Theory which is what music theory is. If he wants jazz or country or rock n' roll-- even better. Almost all of my students are still playing guitar, and many have performed publicly and have recorded albums. As we learn guitar, we also teach aspects of music such as playing with others, use of DAW (digital audio workstations) and the computer, how to use an amplifier and what are the differences, which stomp boxes do what, and what does a person really need for what type of music. Which artists should one listen to in order to improve which skills. How to improvise, transcribe, transpose, modulate, and compose. Pretty much everything. If you need a book that you are not required to pay a monthly fee, I suggest "For The Advancing Guitarist" by Mick Goodrick, "the Guitar Handbook," the videos "Blues You Can Use", and these allow better capability to play with others. Have a nice day.
