how does $65 per hour session sound? reasonable?

friend of a friend offered to give me some instruction and he's jackson guitars endorsed.. and he can shred...

he offered to just show me the ropes and personalize the learning experience to what i want. just an idea.

thoughts??


I'm paying $25 for 40 minutes for my sons lessons. The Instructor has a Masters Degree in Music and is a phenomenal classical guitarist. At my sons request, he's teaching him Jazz theory at the moment and it's really made my son's rock playing better.

So I think $65 an hour for a guy who isn't a teacher is a bit high. I don't doubt his ability, but there is a big difference between being able to do something and being able to teach someone else how to do it.

Try negotitating the price down a bit

That's right! Ability on the guitar doesn't always translate into Teaching Ability. In fact one of the best Music Teachers I ever experienced was a Chorus Teacher who was the worst piano player in the world.

I had a guitar teacher when I was @ senior school.

He was quite a good teacher. He taught a few techniques and also some songs. But mostly I was learning off of the "Rock School" programme...

But guitar teachers are only good if they teach you "how to play"
