Guitar instruction covers acoustic and electric playing techniques across multiple genres. Students learn chord progressions, fingerpicking patterns, and music theory fundamentals. Lessons emphasize practical application through song-based learning while developing proper technique to prevent bad habits. Both tablature and standard notation reading are offered.
