A little about Gareth.
Gareth is an experienced guitarist and has been teaching with Your Guitar Academy for many years! He teaches students of all ages, from 5-year-old kids looking to take the next steps with their musical ambitions, to 65-year-old students who want to learn to play the guitar during their retirement.
Gareth is passionate about teaching the guitar and passing on his valuable knowledge picked up over many years of professional performing and recording. Above all, he takes great pleasure from watching students improve and grow as guitarists.
Serving students in and around Canton, Cardiff.
Gareth Teaches from his studio in Windway Road, CF5 1AF. The studio is fully equipped with amps, guitars, pedals and everything else you need to have a great lesson. It's a beautiful location with good transport links, as it is only an 18-minute walk away from Waungron Park train station, with the closest bus stop being Windway Road.
Expert tutoring and structure make anything possible! 🎉
Gareth combines his own experience and skill with our hand crafted course material and write up tools, to offer the complete learning experience. Our course material works in a very specific way that guarantees success. We teach you a new technique, skill or piece of theory via the course material, then as you improve in that we apply it to real world songs.
Plus, after the lesson you can find your material, notes and feedback live in your login area, direct from Gareth, so you don’t miss a beat! This means you get the understanding of what you are doing, the ability to do it, and the fun of playing the songs you love! What could be better?
Lesson notes Tuesday 10th March
Great work today Jen, you absolutely smashed those chord changes! You've now completed the second lesson of our course. 🎉
So, this week I want you to continue working with this spider exercise, but now that you have the hang of it, try to do it at 70BPM, as we did in the lesson. Here's the tab as a reminder for you:
As well as that, with your 3 chords, I want you to try this slightly altered strumming pattern, once again alongside the beat that we were practising to.
Best of luck with your practice, Jen, and if you have any questions at all, just reach out and let me know.
See you next week, Gareth.
