Guitar lessons in Graz (Jazz, Rock, Classical, Pop, Funk, Soul, etc.)

Hello, and welcome to my Guitar Courses page. I am a graduate of Kunstuniversität Graz (BA in Jazz Guitar, currently in my Master studies) and have been teaching for the past 9 years, started from Athens (Greece) and currently in Graz (Austria). Every student/musician has different needs, so each course is adapted to the students' needs. Topics that can be discussed/ taught in class: 1) Guitar/ Fretboard knowledge: It is really important to know your instrument, and it makes it much easier to learn songs you like, etc! 2) Accompaniment for songs: Chords, rhythmic patterns for them depending on the song style, strumming/finger techniques, etc. 3) Improvisation: Get the tools you need (arpeggios, triads, theory, lines) to play the music you like (mostly advised for Jazz) 4) Rhythm 5) Harmony, Modern music theory, and composition. 6) Technique: Alternate picking, sweep picking, hybrid, legato playing, etc. 7) Repertoire according to your musical taste (from Rock, Jazz, Pop, Funk style, etc.) I am looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

You can learn to play the classical guitar from the beginner to an advanced level on the lessons with me. My main goal is to teach my student very strong basic skills with which one can develop her-/himself later on her/his own. Personalized Repertoire: Together, we'll curate a repertoire that aligns with your preferences and aspirations. This ensures a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience as we work towards mastering suggested and favorite pieces. Joyful Learning: Music is an expression of joy, and I believe that learning should reflect that. Each lesson is designed to be engaging, interactive, and inspiring, fostering an environment where your passion for the classical guitar can truly flourish. Progressive Advancement: Whether you're just starting your musical journey or seeking to refine your existing skills, this course accommodates all levels. I'll progressively elevate your proficiency and challenge your capabilities, marking significant achievements along the way.

Based on the student's needs and technical capabilities we will work together on a piece/song that a student might want to learn. Additionally, in order to improve the playing and to understand the piece better, we will work on the playing technique, harmony, and music theory of the piece/song.! It is possible for us to work in person also!

Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central.

Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.
