Members jonfinn Posted September 4, 2008 Members Share Posted September 4, 2008 To me, a great guitar teacher is: -Someone who plays in a way that inspires me to want to play like them -Is experienced out in the world -Understands how their students learn and adjusts there teaching to accommodate the student -Is patient, but not pandering. -Is interested in continued learning. -Understands that their students have valid points of view and is never dismissive.

Members SlaveNewWorld0 Posted September 7, 2008 Members Share Posted September 7, 2008 One that nurtures your unique style and talent rather than relying solely on parrot fashion learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fmw Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 I think it depends a little on the skill level of the student. An accomplished player with a coach is in a different situation than a beginner learning his first cowboy chords. For the former, good performance skills are important in the coach because you are dealing with details and subtleties. For the latter, patience and teacher-like skills are more important.

Members Steadfastly Posted September 9, 2008 Members Share Posted September 9, 2008 The two main things that great teachers possess: patience and a good ability to communicate ideas clearly to the student. Bingo! You, go to the head of the class. If you don't have these two qualities a student is will learn nothing from the teacher except he's not learning anything or very little from the teacher except he wants a new teacher.

Members bigboy_78 Posted September 9, 2008 Members Share Posted September 9, 2008 A great teacher knows the path to the outcome a student wants, and patiently guides the student to those goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Virgman Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 Cheap...and good. For example Frank Gambale charging $5/hr. would be really ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aaron313 Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 It depends. -When you're teaching a newbie, it's all about patience. -When you're dealing with someone who is lazy or does not have the time to be dedicated, start prodding a bit. -When you're dealing with a potential prodigy, be frank and much firmer. However, it's always important to not drive a rift between yourself and the student, because that's how you lose business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Knottyhed Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 A dedicated student. It's the single most important factor. No guitar teacher can do your practice for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jxb101 Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 A good guitar teacher in my opinion, is one that takes into consideration what you want to learn. Patients is definitely a huge factor. Any teacher for that matter needs to realize that the same technique used on one student, may not be the technique that will work for another student. A great guitar player may not be a great teacher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
