I have been doing online lessons primarily since 2020. First lesson with a new student is usually us getting acquainted and you giving me a list of songs/pieces you would like to learn. Time permitting I can even I show you a bit of your first song right away to get you started or write you out a specific guitar exercise to practice. Week 2 is when when we start getting into the nitty-gritty of your first song selection. Depending on the song, it could take up to 2 weeks (or occasionally longer, depending on the length/difficulty of the piece) for me to finish transcribing it in full but each of my students receives a full professional quality pdf of each song they learn as well as a link to the video of your completed song transcription that I post on my YouTube page so you can hear it as well! I posted the link to a song ('Melissa' by The Allman Brothers) that I transcribed and taught to one of my students recently so you can see and hear the quality that you will be receiving as my student. I take a lot of pride in my transcribing and it's one of the features I offer that, I believe, makes lessons with me stand out as unique and superior to what most other teachers offer.
