Guitar lessons in France

I took the class because I had a problem with the way I play (the technique). - He will see what you know already, and start from there. - He gives a few tricks at a time, and relies heavily on repetition between these tricks. His idea is to form the right habits and to learn to play without thinking. -He will probably not begin with the style you want (eg: I wanted spanish guitars but started with basic chords). This is normal because there is an overlap in techniques between different styles and sometimes it’s necessary to begin with another style. -The time will pass faster than you think, and you won’t be that tired (your fingers will hurt though). - I improved objectively after just the 1st lesson. -He charges differently depending on the location. Basically, I would NOT recommend him only if I DIDN’T want you to learn how to play guitars! You can take the class and feel safe, you’re in the hands of an awesome teacher!

I tried Théo for spanish guitars. -Technique: He will tell you what to do. Then he will give you similar exercises to enhance the technique. Not intimidating at all. He will give you the time you need and will go back and forth over it at separate stages so you don’t burn out. -Content: He will give you some chords, notes, and tabs of the type of music you want, adjusted to your level. He prefers giving you the content, telling you the technique, and then leaving you to practise (since the content can be found easily on the internet). -Melody: I personally struggle with timing my music right. I must say he made it easier for me. He will have you practice one part of the tabs till you get the beat right. Then he will slowly add the rest of the tabs that come along so you don’t lose the rhythm. -Interaction: punctual (he won’t come 15mins late and leave on time). Honest. Clear. I enjoyed the lesson, I would definitely recommend him.

I have played guitar (self-taught) for many years, but on classical guitar I am a beginner. While visiting Paris I had two lessons with Sébastien at his place. Before starting we had coffee and talked to get to know each other and plan the lessons and what music to work on. During the lessons he gave valuable input on technique, sound and interpretation, and many suggestions for exercises and further study. Sébastien speaks good English, he is very patient and friendly, but also enthusiastic and knowledgeable about music. I was not able to bring my own guitar, but he let me use one of his, and even loaned me one so I could practice in my hotel room between lessons. Highly recommended!
