Can I Try Only One Lesson Before Committing Myself?

No. If your intention is to take only a single lesson in order to determine if studying with me is worth the investment, how do you intend to evaluate it? Because you are probably not an expert guitar teacher who has trained many people to become great musicians, you honestly won't have the true ability to make an informed and intelligent determination of whether or not what I will teach you over the longer term really works. You would be missing the point of how becoming a great musician actually works. A transformational process cannot possibly be judged by the student simply by evaluating one, two or three lessons.

In addition, I often find that people who want to 'evaluate' a single lesson aren't really even trying to evaluate the 'lesson', but instead are trying to evaluate 'themselves' to determine if 'they' are going to commit themselves to become a great guitar player or not. I suggest that you decide this for yourself right now, in this moment... Do you truly WANT to become the guitar player you always dreamed of becoming? And are you committed to yourself, to your musical goals? If the answer is yes, then what are you waiting for, get started right now! ... but if the answer is no, then you are not ready to work with me.

Although you can cancel your lessons at any time (even after the first lesson), I am not interested in teaching anyone who is not serious, dedicated and committed to his or her musical goals. Typically when someone tells me they want to 'try' one lesson, that indicates to me that such a person is not committed to becoming the musician he/she wants to be. One of the reasons I have had such great success teaching a large number of people to become awesome guitar players is because I prefer to attract serious and dedicated students who are ready and willing to take these lessons seriously and also see that this is a longer term relationship than only a single lesson.
