Nothing is wizardry, everything can be learned!
And we will do it together, with fun, attention and a personal touch
Alex Vansalen, guitar teacher in Rotterdam
Goal
You are at the center of my method. It's all about taking you further in your guitar playing. The basic skills? You already have them, but the question is how to advance and grow. How can you develop skills and combine pleasure ?
Method
We look together for a way that suits you. My lessons are not limited to one style. We go through musical genres. Classical, pop, jazz, blues, rock, funk, reggae, Latin and world music; it is precisely from the diversity of musical styles that you can develop your technique in different ways.
Guitar lessons
At the beginning of our music lessons, I always go back to the basics with you. What is your guitar posture ? How do you handle tone, timing and rhythmic feeling ? What have you taught yourself and do you do in your own way ? Where are the issues you feel in your progress in your guitar playing ?

The guitar teacher
I will not claim that playing guitar is easy. In the more than 30 years that I have been playing guitar and the many years that I have been playing as a professional musician, I have learned that two things are important : perseverance and fun. It is precisely these elements that I combine in the way I work.
