You need the mistake named
A video cannot hear that your third finger is flat on the fret. A teacher in the room can.
Private Guitar Lessons
Private means one student and one teacher in the lesson. The pace, the song, and the practice task are set for that person, then rewritten when the week did not go as planned.
Group classes are not offered. There is no band program and no set of students sharing a room. If you searched for guitar classes, the individual lesson is the offering. You will not be asked to keep up with a stranger’s chord changes.
That focus is the point of beginner, adult, acoustic, and electric lessons as well. Those pages describe the musical focus. This page describes the format: one person, direct feedback, and a plan that can change next time.
Fit
Private lessons help when
Your pace is not average
You may move faster through open chords and slower through rhythm, or the reverse. The next task follows you, not a cohort.
You already play
Intermediate and more experienced players use the same one-to-one format. There is no separate advanced program. The work becomes more specific: a passage, a tone problem, a time-feel.
You want a practice plan
The lesson ends with a task small enough to finish, and a way to tell that it is finished.
In the lesson
What one-to-one time is spent on
Diagnosis
Play the thing that is stuck. The useful note is the cause: late finger, extra string, rushing the count, or a guitar that is fighting you.
A smaller assignment
If eight bars fall apart, the assignment becomes two. Shrinking the task is the method, not a consolation.
Feedback you can use alone
You should know what “better” sounds like without the teacher present. Otherwise practice is guessing.
Repertoire choices
Songs are chosen because they train the gap, not because they are impressive. A style such as blues, rock, or fingerstyle appears when your goal needs it. It is not a separate enrollment.
Shape of a session
What private does not mean on this site
It does not mean a teacher comes to your house. Home visits are not an advertised service. It does not mean a live video studio. Online lessons are not confirmed. Choosing “live video” on the form records a preference only.
It does not mean every lesson is held at the published Columbus contact address. The meeting place is part of the confirmation. It does not mean a price printed in this paragraph. Ask, and read how quotes should be read before you agree.
A confirmed lesson is one you and the instructor have both accepted, including time and any fee. Submitting the form is a request. The steps are on how guitar lessons work.
Preparation
How to make the hour count
Bring the problem
The bar that breaks, the chord that buzzes, the song you avoid. That is more useful than a general level label.
Record the task
Write it down before you leave, in your words. If you cannot explain it, it is not assigned yet.
Say when it was too much
A private lesson only adjusts if you report the week honestly. “I did not practice” is usable information.
Feedback, not a ranking
You will not get a score, a belt, or a promise that a song will be performance-ready by a date. You should get a clear listen: what improved, what is still in the way, and what to do next.
Players with more experience are welcome. The first conversation should name the passage or the musical job, so the lesson is not a beginner overview you do not need.
Questions
Common questions
Are private lessons the same as in-home lessons?
No. Private describes one student. It does not describe travel to your home. Home visits are not offered here.
Do you teach online privately?
Not as a confirmed service. There is no video classroom on this website. A format is real only after the instructor confirms it.
Can I switch between acoustic and electric?
Yes, if you will practice the instrument you bring. Say which one is the priority for the next stretch of lessons.
I am past the basics. Is there an advanced track?
There is no separate advanced page or program. Bring the specific skill. The lesson works on that, at your pace.
How is a practice plan different from homework?
It is short, it names the sound you are listening for, and it can be reduced if the week collapses. It is not a packet of pages for its own sake.
One student. One next task.
Describe what you can play and what keeps breaking. That is the start of a private lesson plan.
