FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My Life On 7 Strings (LO7S) course and Life On 6 Strings version (LO6S), available through my website, are currently my main modes of teaching. An 8 string version is not yet available. There are currently 10 Lesson modules available either as bundle or ala carte. Each module contains 3 PDF files, 3 .gpx (Guitar Pro) and 3 videos. It will take you approximately a year to master these initial lessons and more lessons are in the pipeline. Each module is $5.00 and I am currently offering a 10 module bundle for $25 at 50% discount.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most traditional and even modern methods have you learning the fretboard a few frets at a time in what's known as position playing. I've seen the look of overwhelm many times when a student has mastered first position and now it's time to add more frets. It can seem to take forever. With my Robert Bussey's Guitar Drills Signature Course we start with a few notes over the entire fingerboard and then take away frets and add more notes in a way that emphasizes harmony. Gradually the entire fretboard becomes fair game and you reach a point where you look down at the fretboard and "see" music. That's where we're going with this!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I had 3 years of formal private lessons from age 12 until 15. My teacher put me through the Alfred's Guitar Method Books 1 - 6 and taught me Rock as well. I've put myself through many methods ranging from Classical (Aaron Shearer Classic Technique) to Blues (The Blues You Can Use Series) to Metal (Troy Stetina's Metal Guitar Volumes 1 & 2, Rhythm and Lead, Speed Mechanics For Lead Guitar and Fretboard Mastery, John Petrucci's Rock Discipline) These are just a few and I even have some method books memorized due to having taught from them for so long. In addition, I am also a previous member of “The Elite Guitar Teachers Inner Circle” a training and mentoring group for guitar teachers.
