Your First Guitar Lesson is Free!

		When you begin taking guitar lessons at Los Angeles Guitar Academy, your first lesson is free of charge. In this hour-long meeting, we will cover basic techniques, as well as choosing which style or styles of guitar music you wish to learn.

"What Will We Cover in my First Lesson?"

"How do I prepare for the first meeting?"

-Bring your guitar. Although there are student guitars at the studios, we highly recommend that you bring your own guitar to each lesson. Check with your teacher for availability.

If you do not own a guitar, we recommend starting off with a quality student-level guitar such as the Rodriguez B, or a decent model such as the Cordoba C-5, or if you are on a budget, a lower level such as Yamaha C40.

-You will not need to bring a footstool to your guitar lessons, since there will be footstools in the studio. Please make sure that you own one for your practice sessions at home.

If you don't own a footstool, we recommend a standard guitar footstool or an ergonomic wooden footstool.

-No practice before the meeting is necessary; we will cover a full range of warm-up and technical exercises. Most students find these "diagnostic drills" refreshing and simplifying. In fact, it often becomes apparent that many of the routines and exercises that you have previously learned will seem unnecessary and counterproductive.

-Trim the fingernails on your left hand as short as possible without causing pain, because you will be placing your fingers perpendicularly on the frets of the guitar.

-Bring any sheet music and/or books that you want to discuss with your teacher.
