Additionally, lessons are available for Pop, K-pop, and 7080 music, covering any genre you desire.
I provide the highest quality and most in-depth lessons in LA.
For acoustic guitar, lessons go beyond simple chord accompaniment, focusing on high-level techniques
and musical completeness.
I teach based on the most trendy and up-to-date theories, techniques, and materials,
rather than outdated methods.
Through know-how that enhances the quality of performance,
the lessons emphasize refined playing techniques.
I help students stand out in their church praise teams, clubs, and school groups.
If desired, I can also integrate music theory and harmony with guitar lessons,
as well as provide guidance on various composing, video, and recording techniques, including Logic Pro X.
The basic curriculum is as follows:
Beginner:

Lessons and curriculum are tailored to the student's skill level.
If you have a specific style or song in mind, I will do my best to guide you toward that direction.
Q&A
Q: How are the lessons conducted?
A: Lessons are one-on-one private sessions and usually last about 50 minutes.
Q: In which language are the lessons conducted?
A: Lessons can be conducted in both Korean and English.
Q: How long will it take to play a song I want?
A: It depends on how much the student practices, but for beginners,
I can help you play a song just by reading the sheet music in about 3 months.
Q: How do I pay for the lessons?
A: The lesson fee can be paid in cash, by debit card, or by credit card. (A 5% processing fee is added for credit card payments.)
Q: Are beginners welcome?
A: Of course, beginners are always welcome.
Q: Can I take lessons if I don't have a guitar?
A: Unlike sports like golf, swimming, or tennis, where you can somewhat mimic the motions in a short time, learning an instrument requires personal practice. You will need your own instrument for effective practice. If you don't have a guitar yet, I can recommend a decent practice guitar in the range of $200-$300.
Q: Should I learn electric guitar or acoustic guitar?
A: It doesn't really matter. If you want to play electric guitar, you can start with that.
I also started with electric guitar.
Q: Can I observe a lesson or have a consultation before deciding?
A: Since lessons are private, observing a class is not possible in consideration of the students' privacy.
For consultations, I charge $40 for 30 minutes.
