Beginning in March 2009, Hometown Music Studios will be offering private guitar lessons in conjunction with Carolina Foothills Artisan Center. The lessons will be held in our classroom space downstairs. Parking and entrance are in the rear of the building which is accessed from Alabama Avenue (Hwy 221).
Classes are taught by Doug Wood, a seven-year student of Joe Bennett of "The Sparkletones". His teaching style consists of
- basic guitar theory including the basic anatomyof a guitar and finger exercises for strength
- using the genre of music the student is interested in,
- "lifting" which is a technique used to immediately play a song never heard before
- developing the ability to play without reading music
- most importantly, the ability to improvise and develop an individual style for each student
Class information:
- Lessons are offered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
- Classes are given once a week for 30 minutes per lesson.
- Classes are $15 per session and full payment ($60) is due for the entire month at the first lesson of each month. There are no exceptions to this rule.
For more information, or to sign up for classes, call Doug Wood at 864-415-3738

15 bucks per session seems a good deal. But if private guitar lessons seems not convenient to you, I think it is advisable to learn instead through video tutorials. I suggest checking out Learn and Master Guitar by Steve Krenz. Its a pretty comprehensive video tutorials on how to play the guitar. Steve Krenz is a professional guitar too, you will know more about him and his tips at his blog, Guitar Lessons blog.
For me, actually whichever way you do, it all has the same result, learning the guitar and eventually mastering it. You'll just have to choose what's best for you.
Good luck to all the students of CFAC!
I look forward to the site developing and I wish you all the best. I really like the content of this blog, do keep posting and keep the good work up.
