I'm thinking to get my kids some guitar lessons. What is a standard practice for fees, if you want to sign up, say, 3 kids for lessons, is it shunned upon to ask for a discount for the second & third? Is it ok to have all 3 students being taught at the same time(not having to be at a music school for 2 hours..)

Advice appreciated.

As someone who teaches mostly rock/metal guitar. No.

I'd rather the parent learn and then pass on the knowledge, and if something fucks up with the guitar you can fix it.

Thank you for advice.

You are saying that the students will use the teacher_s guitar, then if it gets dinged up while in kids hands you get charged?

edit: y a I just realized I would need 3 freakin guitars if I did that!

If you want to learn guitar you have to have your own guitar, that you like well enough to play. I can teach all sorts but an hour with me probably turns into 10+ hours of practise without me.

my kids, one is a drummer & the other a pianist in their schools jazz band. Id like to get them to learn jazz/blues, this way its more likely to keep them interested, for now. i like that you demand 1:10 practice.

Not just 3 guitars. If you want your kids to enjoy learning guitar, and stick with it for a lifetime, you're going to need to invest in some quality guitars. Spending anywhere from at least $300-$500 and more on each guitar. My parents bought me a cheap chinese made Sammick acoustic guitar back when I was like 9 or 10, I didn't like it, it was uncomfortable and difficult to play, sounded like shit, wouldn't hold a tune, and just felt cheap, and that turned me off from wanting to learn how to play because that was my first experience with a guitar and I assumed they were all that unpleasent to play. You buy your kids a high quality Martin, Taylor, Epiphone, or the equivalent and I guarantee they'll learn faster, become amazing, and fall in love with music and playing the guitar. And you need not spend a single cent on guitar lessons. The internet is a wonderful place; just search on YT for "Beginner Guitar Tutorial Playlist" and up pops everything that an irl instructor would teach, only in video format. You're welcome.

I don't fuck around. I teach how to play riffs only, no scales and it's minimum $30 a 1/2 hour and in that cost I usually teach 2-3 guitar riffs.

I am a multi instrumentalist and don't play games when holding my axe and to create discipline with the craft of guitar playing, my students have one hand cuffed to the fretboard.

I specialize in how to play "Stairway to Heaven" and teach my apprentices everything they need to know so they can walk into a music store and show their skills.

My girlfriend also provides Jimmy Page costumes and wigs for the class.

Ok that's a great reply, why do guitar shops freak out when playing STH anyway? Is it a lawsuit thing or just faggotry?
