So, Why a Private Tutor?

Finally, here is some advice for the new guitar players.

Now that you have all these options available to you, you might still be wondering if a private guitar teacher for beginners is the right choice.

Play, Play and Play Some More!

At the end of the day, some of the best advice for aspiring guitarists is a well-used quote by the great Eddie Van Halen who said something along the lines of: “to be great at guitar, you should play, play and then play some more!”
