Thomas's home studio is located on Linen Green, just North of Lisburn, and is fully equipped with all the goodies you need to have a great guitar lesson! This includes a range of awesome guitars, amps, recording setup and tea and coffee (of course!).
The studio is a 5-minute drive from Lisburn station and has free parking outside day or night. As for the bus routes, the 325J and 325M will get you just one road away.
Expert tutoring and structure make anything possible! 🎉
Thomas 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 Thomas, 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, Thomas.
