Topics I love to Speak On...

  • Why most guitar players practice—but don’t improve
  • The biggest fundamental mistakes that hold players back
  • How bad habits form on guitar (and how to fix them)
  • Why slow, correct practice beats “playing more”
  • The role of muscle memory in guitar practice
  • How to build technique without tension or frustration
  • Why traditional guitar instruction often fails students
  • How to practice smarter, not longer

The (SAD) Facts about Adults Learning Guitar...

Despite years of lessons, piles of method books and endless youtube videos - the great majority of adult guitar students can't play anything well! 
The frustration of getting nowhere after spending a lot of time and money causes them to quit trying to learn guitar. 
Even though they feel they have no talent, and often told that by a teacher, the real reason for failure is simply this - they do not know how to practice in an effective way that actually trains their fingers to make the movements necessary to make music. 

Fortunately...

All of that changes when they learn the methods taught in the revolutionary book for guitar students "The Principles of Correct Practice For Guitar", by Jamie Andreas. 

Students quickly start to see solid results and real progress after every practice session...their motivation goes through the roof!

This is what learning guitar is supposed to be, fun and rewarding!

I Love To Give Guitar Students The "Good News"...

  • The main reason guitar students fail or never reach their potential: they are unaware of the great physical tension in their body and fingers as they practice. Muscle memory locks this tension in and prevents finger control.

  • How everything changes when the student learns a practice method that enables the student to feel and eliminate this deadly  tension that destroys finger control

  • My special practice methods that give success to every student, such as "No Tempo Practice", and "The Basic Practice Approach".

  • I go beyond basic tips. I am not giving students some cool licks or a couple of practice tips — I teach a methodology about how to practice and why fundamentals matter. That’s deeper and more valuable to listeners.

I BUILD GUITAR PLAYERS

50 + YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Starting guitar at 14, Jamie was teaching by 17. After many years of focus on classical guitar, Jamie went on to study Jazz, Rock & Blues. 

This is why Jamie is uniquely qualified to guide each student in the style of guitar they are most drawn to. 

ALL STYLES OF GUITAR TAUGHT EXPERTLY!

Jamie teaches a weekly class where players of all styles and levels are moved forward toward guitar excellence, week by week. 

Every style and every aspect of guitar education is covered including classical, rock, blues, jazz, music theory and improv. 

It is music school for adults who never got to go to music school!

A MASTER PLAYER

Jamie's abilities as a player are world class, which can be seen in her many youtube videos. 

Jamie sees solid technique as the missing ingredient for the vast majority of guitar students and makes sure her students have good technique and know how to keep developing further.
