Learn from one of the best electric and rock guitar teachers in Melbourne
Melbourne electric guitar lessons
Electric guitar lessons are available for all levels from beginners to intermediate and advanced players.
Fun on the Frets focuses on teaching teens & adults of any age… if you are a beginner level player I recommend you start with the beginner program first, using your electric guitar, then move into this program.
The electric guitar program gives you all the essentials you will need to develop your playing. You will learn fundamentals that can be applied across styles and help build your personal sound.
If you want to play with some friends, jam a bit on the weekends or become a semi pro or pro player this program is designed to help you achieve your goals.
As with any of the programs there is built in flexibility that allows tailoring to your specific needs.
Electric guitar lessons cover the essential elements of playing and understanding music.
In this program, I help you understand the technicalities of gear, how to create different sounds by changing up the settings, and walk you through the hand techniques used to generate them. Replicating and understanding the unique styles of the masters is all part of the process. Expect to have a lot of fun along the way.
