Ted Vieira's Guitar Instruction Info and Online Lessons
If you are in the Reno, Nevada area and are interested in studying guitar my rates are $20.00/hr. My instruction will provide you with a strong foundation in the understanding of music theory as well as real-life musical application. My goal is to provide you with the knowledge of your guitar from one end to the other, with the idea of removing as many limitations as possible. You'll be able to use the information I give you to play in any style, solo over any chord changes and keys, understand and execute chord construction, and be able to musically express yourself.
If you are not in the Reno area I've written a comprehensive guitar instruction manual that will provide you with the tools you need to be able to comfortably perform in any musical situation. The book is called
Essential Concepts: A Comprehensive Guide for the Contemporary Guitartist. Click on the title link for a preview of the book along with ordering information.
