You Can Play the Guitar the Way You Have Always Wanted!
• Are you or your child new to the guitar and looking for high quality instruction and a great learning environment?
• Have you tried learning guitar in the past but felt that you will never become a great player?
• Are you tired of searching through YouTube videos and other internet sources that lead to confusion playing guitar?
Without proper guidance, playing the guitar can be labyrinth of confusion that can lead to disappointment and frustration. The percentage of beginner guitar players that quit is extremely high and the saddest thing is that all most of these people needed was a good teacher and trainer.
If you have been feeling lost in your Guitar playing and have more disappointment than enjoyment it is never too late to start making huge amounts of progress. Once you start getting results and you are able to smile and feel true progress, there is nothing like that feeling. That feeling will keep pushing you forward. There are no limits to how far we can go and what you can accomplish!
You don't have to become just another statistic. The good news is you are here and I can help you realize the guitar player you have always wanted to be. Get started with lessons at Slidell Guitar School and take your first step on the path to absolute success, first tell me about yourself
Are you born with musical talent?
Most people have this misconception that being a great guitar player is something that you are born with. Anyone who has the desire can learn the guitar. You are never too young and never too old to start learning.
Can I play like my favorite Guitar player?
Have you ever pictured yourself playing your guitar effortlessly like a pro? Do you feel that this reality is out of reach? That could not be further from the truth.
How can I be a great player?
It takes proper coaching and instruction to guide a student to achieve their goals. Music concepts must be taught in the correct order in the correct amounts based on the students skill level. Doing this will avoid confusion and frustration allowing more enjoyment.
What sets me apart from the other teachers?
The single most important thing I do for students that other guitar teachers don’t do is tailor the lessons to the individual. While making sure you have fun in your lessons, I will help you reach your goals through proven methods that get results. I will teach you the information you need to know, then I will train you in how to apply this knowledge directly to your playing.
The linear approach that most teachers use does not work well for 90% of students. We will tackle several areas of playing at the same time, but also in the appropriate amounts. This will allow you to learn at a faster and more effective rate.
I will create a Road Map for you to follow. I will show you what to practice, when to practice it, and even show you HOW to practice it. This will help you get results in your playing progress from day 1. I make sure that you will never be overwhelmed with too much information while I oversee your progress week-to-week.
I will teach you how to analyze your own playing so you can better identify problem areas that are holding you back. You can then isolate these targeted areas and become skilled in problem solving in your playing.
Over the last 10 years or so, I have tried to learn how to play guitar. I tried learning from YouTube and a few different apps. Each time, I got frustrated and gave up. I decided to try some in-person training this time and I am glad I did. Josh has a program that takes you through logical steps towards playing songs and understanding music and music theory. I have been with him for 6 months now and I have made more progress than over the whole previous 10 years. He makes it personal for you and allows you to progress at a pace commensurate with your skills. Looking forward to continuing this journey with Josh for years to come.Darren D.
Taking lessons with Josh has helped me to learn how to play cool strum patterns, and keep in rhythm. I now know many chords and can make up my own songs. I would tell anyone who wants to learn to play guitar to learn from Josh. He is the greatest teacher ever and makes the lessons fun.Matthew C.
I have been in lessons with Josh for about 2 years after finding him online. I have been playing over 10 years and was just playing the same things over and over. Learning from magazines and you tube wasn’t working and I had only one previous guitar lesson and didn’t care for the teacher. I have a whole new interest in playing after taking lessons with SGS. I am really liking being able to understand music theory so that I can tie in all the things that I learn together. This is working well for me, I strongly recommend Josh!Clint C.
I’m in a band at my church and I knew I needed lessons because learning to play from YouTube wasn’t going very far. I am way better playing the guitar in 10 months of lessons with Josh and now I know lots of chords and how to use them. Josh will teach you what you need to know!Joby W.
I have been taking lessons at SGS for about 3 years and I have come so far compared to taking guitar in high school. They only taught me songs in the high school class and didn’t teach me how to actually play my own music. I have learned many chords and scales and how to apply them to real music. I can play lead guitar with other musicians now! I have had a lot fun in lessons and I am a much better guitar player.Tristan C.
