Professional lessons
GCH Guitar Academy guitar lessons have been developed over
more than fifteen years, with guitar students. Students were
paying upwards of £1000
or $1800 to study the material contained
in just unit one of the course.
Many courses available on the internet are simply collections
of information and tunes with no structure, or guitar players
trying to share their knowledge with no teaching experience.
This
course is properly structured into months and weeks so you
can follow the lessons in a logical sequence. This way your
understanding of the guitar and your guitar playing skills
are built up at a sensible and realistic pace.
Even
the tunes have been chosen specifically for the techniques
they demonstrate, to aid the learning process
