The greatest learning you can get is from a teacher. One on one lessons really allow you to grasp the concepts of learning at a faster rate and allow you to understand more effectively. That is why I offer one on one lessons online.

Playing songs on the guitar is not difficult if you are regular in your practice. All you need to play songs is understanding a few chords & a few rhythms. I recommend practicing 30 minutes everyday in beginning stages. This will help you pick up a few songs in a couple of months.

First, practice the chords: make sure you can switch between them cleanly and quickly. Then, strum through them starting with simple patterns. Progressively advance to more difficult strumming patterns.

Yes. Scales are very important because 1) You will get a hold of playing leads. 2) It helps you understand music theory and composition concepts that takes you to the next level of your guitar playing skills.

The only shortcut to learn the guitar (or any other instrument) is to practice as much as you can in the correct way. If practiced wrong then it can be problematic. As it is said – Practice makes a man perfect. So wrong practice will make you perfect in that as well.

Tab is a way of writing down the notes of a song that focuses on how to play it on the guitar. Tab shows you specifically where to press with your fingers to play songs. Since you can find tabs to just about every well-known song that exists, it’s worth learning how to read.

You will get a cover up class in case you miss it. However, a follow up on student’s end would be required if student missed due to unavailability. You will get cover up only in the month when you have missed. For example – If you miss a class in January then its cover up will be done only in January and not in months after that to avoid backlog classes.

If the teacher is not available, he will make sure to fix up a cover up class with the student in that same month.

This is to maintain a proper rhythm in the learning curve for all students. Also, to maintain a discipline at Metal Cat Music. Without which people tend to take music classes very casually which is usually not right thing at any educational hub.
