Advanced
My 40 years of playing and finding the most efficient path to technical proficiency will help you learn all the advanced techniques and improvisational skills you've been pursuing without becoming frustrated or becoming stuck at one level for too long.
Tap harmonics, 2 handed tapping, hammer-ons/pull-offs, slides, bends, alternate picking and sweep picking techniques, as well as cross, hybrid and economy picking.. along with many fingerstyle patterns, advanced strumming patterns and playing with a metronome are amongst the technical aspects we will cover.
As much or as little theory as you want can be covered including the CAGED system and how to link it with pentatonics to move them around more easily.
I have developed methods for learning the fret names that all my students agree are fast and have saved them a lot of time and work.
Scales, modes, intervals, chord construction, and any other theoretical concepts or patterns you've been interested in can be covered at your pace including...
Pentatonics (the most common 5 shapes as well as the extra 10 shapes that I use).
Modes (the most common 7 shapes as well as the extra 14 to 21 shapes).
Arpeggios (Major, minor, minor flat 5, diminished, augmented as well as further extensions)...as well as the concept of mixing 2 or more easier arpeggios to produce a more complicated one.
This idea applies to chord construction as well.
The 16 most common chords found in any key and how to solo over them.
I have knowledge and experience spanning 40 years playing, over 30 years gigging, and over 25 years teaching so there is a good chance that I can help you.
