How To Go From Not Knowing How To Teach Guitar Or Find Guitar Students, To Consistently Getting Students And Helping Them Make Progress, in a Few Weeks - Using This Little Known Guitar Teaching Book
Revealed at last: Guitar teacher shares the approaches to teaching that get results, how he found 100s of students and the business models that work for you instead of against you...
Have you ever wondered if you could teach guitar, but thought you needed a fancy degree to do so?
Have you tried teaching, but found yourself unsure what to teach... or how?
Have you struggled to consistently get new students to teach?
In my book below, I'll explain how a few simple approaches can help you find students, help them make progress and teach them effectively without taking up 50 hours a week in lesson time.
The Reason Why You're Struggling
Why is it that some guitar teachers seem to have a thriving business, while others barely get by and can't get more than three or four students?
Is it down to luck? Is it because those succesfull teachers have a fancy degree?
Sometimes people give up teaching becuase they don't have any success with it, and let's be honest - it can be challenging - you have to find students, teach them... and find the time to play your music.
However, with a few simple changes, it's possible to completely change your situation.
The problem is the traditional models you believe you should follow are not only holding you back... but they're holding your students back...
There Is No Good Advice For Guitar Teachers
The internet is full of people who want to give an opinion on teaching guitar...
But no one can give any good explanations on the details that matter:
- How do you consistently and reliably get people contacting you for lessons? When I started teaching I made the classic mistake of putting up flyers and posters... and getting an enquiry a month. Once I started thinking and acting like a business owner, I started getting dozens of enquiries a week!
- How should you charge for lessons? Figuring out how to to charge is tricky... most guitar teachers get this wrong... but when you get this right, everyone pays on time, you never have to chase people for money and your life and your students lives get much easier!
- How do you actually teach someone? Every teacher gets this wrong when they start, leading to students quitting. But once you get this right, not only does teaching feel easier and less stressful... but your students make more progress and stick around longer! The trick to getting this right is actually a LOT easier than you currently realise...
Becoming a good guitar teacher involves managing your marketing, your business model and your students...
Not knowing how to manage those three areas effectively holds you back from growing, holds your students back from improving and leaves everybody feeling frustrated.

How to Teach Guitar
This 434 page book contains a detailed guide on how to teach guitar effectively, find students effectively, and create an environment where you and your students thrive, without having to teach 50 hours a week.
This book is based on over a decade of experience, teaching 100s of students, starting from teaching two lessons a week from my parents living room, to making a full-time income teaching part-time hours.
With this 434 page book, you will learn to:
- Create effective adverts that help you get students
- Specific ways to help students when they're struggling to learn new techniques
- Four key methods of advertising that work
- How learning works on a neurological and psychological level... and how they helps us teach
- How to plan a lesson effectively
- The four key classes you students should take, and how to teach them with syllabi for each class
You'll learn things like:
The Four Cornerstones of Advertising
Like most teachers, when I started teaching I signed up with agencies that made big promises... but delivered poor results (one actually spent a year impersonating me, another tried to rip me off..).
But here's the truth that agencies don't want you to know: Learning how to make and run effective advertising isn't that difficult...
In fact... you will be able to do it much better than they ever can!
The thing is... everyone gets this wrong, and wastes thier time putting up flyers and posters around town...
But by learning a couple of very simple digital marketing techniques... and an old school method that still works...
You'll be infront of everyone in your town... literally everyone...
And once you set these simple system up, they work for you 24/7.
No more putting up flyers every week. No more posting in Facebook groups all day. No more begging for students...
Just a consistent stream of people reaching out becuase they want YOU to teach them.
I tried all sorts of things over the years (which we discuss in the book), but these four cornerstone techniques were the only ones that reliably brought in new students.
What A Business Model Is And Why It's The "Missing Key" To Being A Great Teacher...
Most guitarists start teaching with the same business model... without thinking at all about the concept of a business model...
You can probably guess what it is...
30 minute lessons... 1-2-1...
But that model has some limitations...
Your income is directly tied to time spent teaching... and it also places limitations on what your students can do in lessons and how quickly they can make progress...
Your hourly rate is severely limited, which places restrictions on where you can teach and how you can advertise...
There are other business models you can use, which allow you to not only explode your hourly rate without teaching every waking hour, but make lessons more fun, more flexible and more effective for your students.
Now don't get me wrong, teaching 1-2-1 is a great way to start teaching, and I recommend teachers start with that, but if you want to grow and you want your students to grow, you need to eventually move to a more effective and efficient business model...
And in the book we'll explain exactly how to do that - how to start teaching 1-2-1, design a more effective model, and then transition yourself and your students to this model...
So that you can be a more effective teacher, have more control over your time, and your students can make more progress and have more fun!
How To Help Students Make Progress
Once you have students, it's vital that you help those students get results, after-all, that's the entire point of teaching guitar - to help people learn faster than they can on their own.
But what do you do when someone is stuck?
How do you help students make progress when they're really struggling to learn something you're showing them, something that should be easy?
And aside from that... how do you know what to teach them... and when?
I remember when I started teaching guitar, these were difficult questions to answer,
That's why this book has extensive sections on how to diagnose and help students solve all sorts of problems with their playing; whether they're struggling to play in time, to change chord correctly or any other problem, this book has extensive sections on problem solving with students.
We also cover syllabus outlines for beginners, improvisation, learning barre-chords, learning theory and several other topics, with deep-dives into not just what to teach, but how to approach teaching these subjects and the types of mistakes you can expect to see with your students.

What Works, Works...
Being a guitar teacher is a multi-faceted problem, not only do you need to be able to teach students, but you need to find them, and you need an effectivel business model that lets you teach those students...
It makes sense that there will be some approaches, methods and techniques for doing these three things that are more effective than others....
Wouldn't it be helpful if you knew that those were?
Did you know that most guitar teachers write exactly the same adverts (if they advertise at all!) and that the way they write these ads are no effective, at all?
Did you know that while most guitar teachers use exactly the same business model, it's actually not that effective, and there are other models that actually help your students and help you grow faster?
