Skype Guitar Lessons with Grey
Grey teaches a guitar lesson via Skype
Why Study with Grey?
It's no secret. Ask any accomplished guitar player, and they'll tell you that private lessons can be a great help—if you find the right teacher.
I have been teaching guitar lessons via Skype since 2010.
My method is to evaluate each student's level in a number of areas of competency such as ear training, rhythm, fretboard knowledge, and more. Combining this information with the student's stated goals helps me to create a plan for each student to make progress at the fastest rate possible.
My goal is to point a laser to the one area needing the most work—the work that will make you a better guitar player, and quickly. From there I will give you specific exercises and solutions to make improvements.
The rest is up to you.
Why Skype Lessons?
Skype lessons have advantages and disadvantage over face-to-face lessons.
Some of the disadvantages:
- The teacher and student cannot play together in real time
- If the internet connection (or equipment used) is poor, quality will suffer
For many, these are outweighed by significant advantages:
- More choice means you can study with any teacher you want.
- No need to make a long, difficult trip to a teaching studio.
- Multimedia-rich lessons can take advantage of the latest technology
- You can easily record the entire lesson for later reference.
Overall, it can be a good fit depending on the needs of the individual teacher and student.
Testimonials from Grey's Students
“Greg Arney has the heart, mind and soul of a teacher. Empathetic and able to custom tailor an approach that fits the student, Greg inspires his students to excel at their goals.” – Michael Wartofsky, Professor, Berklee College of Music
"I’ve been having lessons with Greg and I cannot recommend him enough. I had taught myself guitar in my teens and played what I could, but I had definitely hit a plateau. I decided to take lessons, to see if I could improve things a bit, though was sure I probably had so many bad habits that a guitar teacher would either despair, or not take me seriously. I achieved my initial, modest goals and now have about 100 new goals, things I would never have thought were possibilities! I am learning different styles – flamenco, blues, classical and amidst work deadlines and the busyness of the week, guitar lessons are a real highlight." — Jenny Thomson, Professor, University of Sheffield
