Guitar or Bass lessons! All levels!

25


25 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Jul 13, 2017

I will give you a 30 minute - 1 hour online (skype, messenger, etc) OR an in-person guitar lesson. I can teach beginner and advanced players, in all genres. Usually I will teach only students ages 8 and up, due to the fact that finger strength is quite important during the initial stages of learning, unlike other instruments like piano where starting as young as 2 or 3 is not unheard of.

What you will get:
1. Lesson material in written format (pdfs, word, and pages) and audio format (mp3, wav, or other formats).
2. Superb instruction by a qualified teacher
3. Complete customization of lesson. Want to learn a particular song? Send me a link a few days prior to our lesson and I will learn the song by ear and then teach it to you.
4. A week (or other agreed upon time frame) after the end of the first lesson, you will get the opportunity for a 10 minute follow-up lesson with me for free, where I will critique your performance of the material presented in the first lesson, and give suggestions! At that point, you can decide to continue lessons or not :) SPOILER WARNING: You won't want to quit lessons ;)

What do I want?
In exchange for my guitar lessons, I am looking for lessons in piano, harmonica, or vocals, OR will exchange for some professional photos or helping me with my webpage :) Edit: Now also considering a bunch of other trades (check my profile). Examples - Helping with my personal web page, coding, doing some basic digital marketing for my various pages (instagram, youtube, etc), and even things like massages (if you live close enough to my location).

About Nate Mantle

I am a professional guitar instructor, with over 8 years of teaching experience, through accredited music schools as well as my own home studio. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music from Humber Colleg...e, one of Canada's most highly acclaimed music schools, and before that I was entirely self-taught. Because of the interesting way that my learning of music progressed, I gained an interesting perspective in how I teach music, capable of adapting my approach to suit the student's learning style. I have an INFP (mediator) personality, which lends itself well to understanding what others are going through, and solving problems in a way that is suitable, and this obviously lends itself well to teaching. Whenever I have taken a position as a music instructor, the students started out unsure of me, and many seemed as if they didn't even particularly enjoy learning, but in just a short amount of time, these students became not only more skilled, but also more inspired. I have been told that my calm nature, warm smile, and non-judgemental approach make students feel comfortable, and in much the same way, my passion for music and skill at teaching make students become noticeably more interested in learning. I am well-versed in multiple genres, so whether you are looking to learn electric guitar or acoustic, pop or jazz, or anything in between, you are in good hands with me! In my spare time, I enjoy staying physically fit by jogging, hiking, swimming, and doing martial arts. I am an avid anime fan, and actually was inspired to learn guitar because of an anime called "Beck". show more
