Don't assume your student is even LISTENING
to you when you speak. Often, they are not.
And THAT must be addressed, before the subject
you are trying to communicate is addressed.
- How
To Instantly Improve Your Guitar Teaching
Business - By Tom Hess
It became clear to me that following the
conventional approaches to teaching guitar
was not going to bring me the results I was
after (for myself and for my students). It
took a long time of studying successful business
people (outside of music), and a lot of trial
and error, before I finally began to understand
why my earlier attempts to become successful
teaching guitar were so ineffective. Eventually
I realized what I needed to change in my approach
before I would be ready to start a highly
successful guitar teaching business.

"By far the most innovative and effective
ear training program for guitarists I have seen! Simply the
best learning method to come along since Jamie Abersold. Chris
has hit on something really good and much needed today Players
of my generation learned to play on the bandstand as we were
forced to "play what we heard" and if we didn't,
we had to get it together pretty darn quick. This course will
help speed up that learning process rapidly. I will recommend
this course to my students highly!" - Ron Eschete
