Description

Hello! I'm Dave Collett. I’ve been playing guitar for about 35 years and teaching for about 20. I have busked my way across most of Europe and played in many bars and clubs. I teach clients from complete beginner – those that have never even held a guitar before, through to advanced intermediate.
I show how to hold the guitar and how to hold the strings down to get clear notes. I begin by showing five basic chords and how to change between them using various rhythms. These five chords alone will allow you to play tens of thousands of songs! From this foundation I then show many more different chords, rhythms, techniques and styles to help you play the songs that you would really love to play. Apart from songs, I also show many different chord progressions and techniques that allow my clients to just pick up the guitar and play it. This covers everything from 12-bar blues, finger-picking and alternate tunings.

All of my lessons are currently done using Skype. A great feature recently added to Skype is that you can record part or even the whole lesson and watch it in-between lessons to help with the practice. Each recording would be available for 30 days which again, is completely free!

I do not use a curriculum with my lessons, and all lessons are catered to each individual client based on their lifestyles and how much time they have to be able to practice each week. All of my lessons are backed up with chord diagrams, chord progressions, techniques and song sheets (with chords, lyrics, chord progressions and suggested strumming patterns to use) which I would then email to you.

Professionally sound teaches me with patience and in depth explanations about everything we do. David is understanding with me as I don't always have the time to practice. David is always on the end of the phone if I am struggling.....a very confident teacher that always has a smile and kind words of confidence.

As a newly retired absolute beginner starting to learn Guitar it seemed having steady one to one lessons was the way to go for me. I looked at various online beginner courses but eventually dismissed this idea. I approached Bark to find a one to one teacher who i could hopefully get on with and keep the commitment going with. David called me and we booked my first lesson last October, Now the end of march and I can honestly say the whole experience has been excellent I look forward to my weekly lesson David has managed to re organise lessons around holidays as I look back we have covered a lot of ground and made significant progress. I honestly cannot recommend David enough
