Hello! I'm new to the group and the site. I've been playing for 36 years. I teach at the Eastern Shore's Own Arts Center in Belle Haven, Virginia. I teach mostly acoustic guitarists, though I do have one electric player in the bunch. Getting ready to do a seminar called "Exploring Open Tunings and Fingerstyle Guitar" on January 20th, 2010.

Hi there. New to the group. I've been picking for over 45 years. I have taught for over 20 years. My biggest problem is wanting to be free in the evenings yet that is when students are free to come for a lesson. I did teach music for a couple of Montessori schools which was daytime but that was wearing my other musical hat as a trumpet player. I taught band class. I am teaching guitar and bass at the moment at a new studio in Georgetown, ON.

Tim Warman, here. I have a student whose father is an engineer at the nuclear facility at TMI (yes, that TMI in Harrisburg, Pa.) and a week ago, he was looking at the Periodic Table. I asked my student what his favorite element was and he said he didn't know. So, I told him he had to come up with one for his lesson for this week. When I asked, his father handed me a paper that said:
Gt (Guitarium) Guitarium can occur alone, but it typically combines with three other elements: Percussium, Bassine and Vocalium to form the compound Bandite. While Guitarium is generally harmless or beneficial, it can be extremely noxious if handled incorrectly. (see Discoium) Hope this adds a smile to your day, I know it did mine!

Howdy Ya'll,
Although I have been playing for over 30 years, I have just recently started teaching guitar. Not being a teacher per se, this is a whole new way to look at music for me and really forces me to think through the how and why. I guess you could say I am just developing and honing my skills as a teacher. I am looking forward to exchanging ideas in this group.

Hello Guitar Teachers,
New Member Introduction: I am a public school "class guitar teacher" and am always looking to learn and share ideas with others of the same background. I have taught in NJ since 2004 and know what we do is important to the lives of many students. I am trained mostly in classical but LOVE heavy metal, blues, country (50's-70's) and experimental styles. September is getting closer and it is time to get back in a routine.

New member of this forum, just checking in to say hey. I'm the former frontman of whizbang stringband The Waybacks, and a dyed-in-the-wool fingerstyler. I teach live online via Skype, out of my home in Marin County, CA, at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto, CA, and even when I'm out touring gawd-knows-where. Over and out for now ....
