Guitar / Bass / Ukulele / Theory
The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.
Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.
Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.
The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.
We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!
(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)
If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.
In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.
I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

So happy to find Lou-Indigo to teach our teenage daughter the guitar and to keep her motivated by playing Billie Elish or Britney Spears.
After every lesson, she comes home excited, her eyes sparkling. Thank you, Lou!

I have been taking classes from Lou to learn to play the guitar and I couldn’t have been happier with his teachings!

I would highly recommend Lou for anyone wanting to learn guitar!
amazing teacher!
Lou teaches guitar and ukulele lessons to my kids. They adored him from the second they met him, and he had an instant rapport with the kids. Lou is an excellent guitar instructor who is also good at identifying a student's areas of weakness and offering exercises and techniques to strengthen them. He is a fantastic guitarist and teacher, and we wholeheartedly recommend him.
