The same: To learn music theory first as opposed to learning to read music because learning to read or do math before learning 0-9 or A-Z is backwards. After learning the names of the scale tones and note names, the actual architecture of guitar playing will be started. If someone wants to just learn a few chords and do simple strumming, that's fine but they make that choice and I am the teacher so my interests are teaching the proper method and approach and that is why one goes to a teacher, not to tell the teacher what to teach, but to learn from a teacher like myself who has been playing professionally full time for 43 years!

Since I am a 4-time Daytime Emmy winning composer of instrumental and lyric based music with over 2oo songs on the internet, I pretty much know how to write a song! I receive royalties from over 30 organizations quarterly and am now semi-retired so I have the time and patience to teach.
