If you're having personal lessons I think you should ask the tutor to make each lesson build on the last. Whenever I've had lessons, I've done my "homework" and the next week I've played what I've learnt and then we'd be onto something unrelated.
Each piece of "homework" should make you think, when I was learning CNC programming, they would show you how to machine a straight line in one direction, a straight line in another direction and then how to join them as two lines continuous lines, they would then say, "here's how you do an arc, now I want you to join an arc to a straight line". What I'm trying to say is they would show you how to do something and then show you something else and you had to work out how to incorporate it into what you'd previously learnt. Obviously this example is at the level of playing basic open chords but I hope you get my meaning. This is what I didn't like about tutors. There was no syllabus or structure designed around your own level. I guess they're not all the same and some students like a mixed up approach, (I do sometimes) but a gradual learning curve building on the previous lesson each week should do the trick. You could also just focus on techniques that you feel you need to. Another thing, some tutor's clocks start when you walk through the door, so unpacking you guitar, tuning and packing away all take time out of your 30 minutes. Some are more casual and if they don't have other students they aren't as strict. I had one teacher who, after my 1 hour lesson, used to play me music and sometimes we'd have a little jam, it could go on for another hour or so but he didn't class it as the lesson, it was in his apartment so that helped, we became friends. I guess you need to get to know your tutor. I hope this helps out, excuse my rambling -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Some great advice I'd say go in with some rough idea of what you want to work on. Otherwise, it's "dealers choice" and may have nothing to do with what you are trying to achieve. Todd +1 Hopefully you picked a teacher/tutor whom you respect and/or has a high reputation. Let them tell you what you need. That's what you're paying them for. I don't teach privately very much but when I do the student either comes to me to get a little bit of what "I" have or for me to tell them what they need. Sometimes it can take a couple of lessons for me to really figure out how I can help them - ? -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
