My typical course would go like this:
First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc.
Then: At each lesson a little theory, always applied, and obviously practice, learn pieces and / or repeat those already learned, to measure the progress of the student. At the end of the course I would give technical advice, things to practice or listen to if the student wants to go further. I don't intend to make myself indispensable, on the contrary I want to give the basics so that you can manage and have fun as quickly as possible.
One meeting per week is the best to have rapid progress, but I also adapt to the needs and capacities of the student, the main thing is that the guitar is always a pleasure, and never a chore!

Guitarist with 9 years of experience, having already played in several groups and associations, often specialized in rhythm, but also sometimes soloist. I still participate in jam sessions from time to time.
I myself learned with a particular teacher for the basics before continuing as an autodidact, but the best training remains to play in a real group.
I can initiate you or consolidate your bases and make you practice by making you play with me.
I always take my students' tastes into account because I think you have to like what you do to want to progress, so I don't force them to work on a style or songs that they don't like.

I will teach you:
- to read tablatures,
- the basics of music theory such as scales,
- the notion of rhythm and how to hold it,
- different rhythmic and solo techniques, as well as playing with fingers or with a plectrum (= a pick)

I have an electric guitar and an electro-acoustic one, whatever your style, I can teach you to play on electric or on acoustic. I also have a little knowledge on the material side of guitars and accessories, how to choose the right material is also important!
Extra information
I can travel, give distance lessons or receive the student at my home, and I have a very flexible schedule.

About Me
French emigrant for more than 5 years now, I live in Montreal and learn to fly to make my job.
I am a musician, a fan of cinema, music, science and everything related to space and aeronautics. I like being able to share my knowledge, help someone who wants to progress, understand what the student does not understand, find the right way to explain it, are very stimulating activities for me.
Education
Baccalaureate scientific series (French system) mathematical specialty,
Currently at Cargair, in flight training. I was at Polytechnique Montreal for 2 years, but I left for lack of interest and to flourish in my new field of study.
Experience / Qualifications
I don't have a lot of teaching experience, I introduced friends to the guitar, and when I was in school I would sometimes help my classmates to understand new concepts, but my experience ends there.

French student living in Montreal, laureate of a scientific baccalaureate specialty mathematics obtained with honors and now in aircraft flight studies.
I was at Polytechnique Montreal for 2 years, but I quit for lack of interest and am now learning to fly. Always proficient in mathematics and physical sciences, I feel capable of helping on a primary or secondary level, because these are things that interest me and that I enjoy doing.
I am comfortable in French, it is my mother tongue, and quite comfortable in English to help on this too, my flying lessons are in English, and I also practice it a lot on my side in the everyday life.
