I Can't Answer Many Of The Questions On Your Evaluation Form, Does This Mean I Am Not Good Enough Or Ready To Begin Taking Lessons From You?


No, this does not mean that you are not able to begin lessons with me. My evaluation form is very difficult for 99.9% of guitar players to answer all questions correctly. It is designed to be challenging so that I can better determine 'exactly' where your skills and knowledge are. This helps me to better know what you need to start learning first to get started. Remember, these are personalized lessons, this is not a pre-made course or product, so I really need to know you well. The evaluation form is the best way for us to begin our relationship, then after you become active on the forum, I will get to know you a LOT better. This will help me to fine tune your lessons and make them even more specific to 'you', but you MUST be active on the forum for me to have that additional depth in getting to know and understand 'you'.

"Before I started taking lessons with Tom, I was doing things on my own and it was quite frustrating. I thought I was doing things correctly, but once I started lessons with Tom, I was able to see what I was doing wrong and quickly applied that and got results instantly, within a couple of weeks ... your playing just improves so quickly!”

 

I've become a hundred of times better guitar player since I've been working with Tom. Most private guitar teachers are somewhat unprepared and kind of work on just whatever, which is ok, but it isn't really as effective as the way Tom does it in terms of how much material he gives you, what material he gives you, and the long term goal of what you want to do. Tom has all that in mind. Tom is very good at giving you what you need to reach your goals.
