A little about Franco.
Franco, originally from Paris, has been teaching the guitar for years and has developed a style that combines his laid back personality, along with his desire to push his students to achieve their goals and more! Alongside Franco's skill as a tutor, the YGA guitar course material provides you with a structure that Franco will tailor to your precise needs, ensuring you enjoy every lesson and learn quickly.
Franco is one of our most experienced tutors here at Your Guitar Academy, and he is even "famous on YouTube" having now racked up over 100,000 views on his video lessons. Check out our YouTube channel to see him in action!
Serving students in and around Hackney, East London.
Franco teaches from his beautifully equipped home studio, which is just a 5-minute walk from Hoxton Station. If you are travelling by bus then the 26, 48 & 55 all take you to 'Hoxton Station (Stop HG)' which is again, just a 5-minute walk from the guitar studio.
Once inside, you will find a well equipped, beautifully laid out studio with all the guitars/amps and recording gear you will need to get the most from all of your lessons. If you can't get to Franco, don't worry! He also specialises in offering great quality webcam lessons, teaching students from all around the world! Feel free to get in touch to find out more!
Expert tutoring and structure make anything possible! 🎉
Franco 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 Franco, 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, Franco.
