What do I learn next ?. That’s a very common question from students of all ages and ability levels and although there’s a huge amount of music available, sometimes the sheer volume makes it hard for the student to know what they can learn or what piece will further their learning.
Well, as current students will know that’s where I come in as a teacher with many years of experience. There are many pieces of music that students can learn in all genres, however, there are also a few very well known pieces that are not only memorable, but quite easy to learn and involve excellent learning drills.
Over time I will be putting out short videos on pieces that everyone could learn to play, either finger picking as part of your classical learning or with a plectrum as part of your modern guitar learning. These will not be a how to do it style video, but more a prompt for you to see the varied pieces that can be played at your level.
Over time I will be able to build up a list below so that current and future students can easily look at a few ideas for pieces to learn.
