Introduction: I love playing guitar (and similar instruments) but enjoy teaching even more. I especially welcome students who have had negative experiences in the past. When I began studying guitar, I went through a number of teachers who were decent players, but didn't really connect with me.They would all say "go buy this book or that book" which would have songs like Camptown Races and such. Then I found a good teacher who asked what I listened to and who I wanted to play like. I said Jimmy Page, and he said here's a Led Zeppelin tune.
