I have not posted since signing up for the Twin Town Guitars group beginner lesson. The group lesson was OK. As with all things group based, there are people who are on the upper end and don’t get as much out of the lessons as everyone else, and that was me. Since I had been doing some beginner lessons on-line I had already learned most of what the lessons were planning to cover.
The group lesson was supposed to end with the Twin Town Guitars group recital but everyone in the class, except me, dropped out by the end so the beginner group did not participate in the Twin Town Guitars recital.
I started to take individual lessons at Capitol Guitars from Jack Mansk in June. So far I have learned Highway To Hell by AC/DC, Sweat Home Chicago by Jack Johnson, the Blues Brothers version, and I am working on Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry at the moment. I started to learn Heavy Metal by Sammy Hagar, but at the moment I am not able to play the riff at tempo so we are holding off on Heavy Metal for now until my picking and finger dexterity and speed improve.
Group lessons are quite a bit cheaper than individual lessons, but I have learned a lot more in eight 30 minute individual lessons with Jack than I did in eight 1 hour group lessons. I attribute this to the individual lessons being specific my ability and progressing at my pace, not the entire groups.
