Hi Osedman, I've been teaching guitar since 1993 and it is my personal belief that you don't have to be a great player to be a great teacher (or I would be without a job ) but what you do need is the ability to read peoples natural abilities with their instrument and teach them accordingly. Try not to use negative words like "that's wrong" or "you made a mistake" instead give only instructions on how to improve what needs improving. I also divide the lesson into theory and practical as I think it is important to be able to at least read and understand time values for rhythm but most importantly to know your scale patterns and as many chords as possible, on the practical side I always ask what they would like to be able to play and I will endeavour to teach them those songs as their self interest is the best motivator for practice. One thing that you will need a lot of is patience as in my experience many of the younger kids don't practice and the parents don't seem to care (maybe it's just the relaxed aussie attitude) so be prepared to go over the same thing week after week but eventually you should be able to break through and get them into the right sort of music and practice routine. Well there is my 2 cents worth, I am a self taught guitarist though and I have learnt to teach by feel so you might want to get a more professional opinion from the instructors (or other members) on here Peace out PatriK thanks a lot for share your experience! -------------------- .:: Colombian fingerstyle guitar player ::.
