We're wondering why it is that the prevailing thinking among guitar teachers, guitar students, and parents of younger guitar students is that the length of a guitar lesson should be a half-hour or an hour and that the frequency of such lessons should be once per week.
We believe in the power of immersion and can't comprehend how someone could expect to learn how to play guitar by working with a guitar teacher for an hour or less each week when the same people wouldn't think the same about language lessons or basketball practice or any other kind of learning experience.
Guitar lessons of an hour or less inhibit the very experiential exchange that begets the music, and such a limitation is putting unrealistic expectations on the guitar student to learn the instrument, as well as the guitar teacher to be expected to pass along in an hour or less what he or she has taken years to perfect and advance.
If you think about it, the very experience of making music - the experience that prospective guitar students are seeking to emulate, requires a period of zoning in, jamming, "sketching", and collaboration before the actual recorded process is ever preserved for other ears. And, it makes no sense at all to expect anyone to integrate that process in the limited parameters of a half-hour or one hour guitar lesson - no matter how skilled either the guitar teacher or the student might be.
We personally advocate that students learn how to hang out with their guitar teacher in order to soak in the wisdom and the guidance, while, at the same time, developing a creative bond with the guitar teacher in the course of much longer lessons and a higher frequency of meetings.
For example, if a guitar student were to work with a guitar teacher in Auburn, a guitar teacher in Birmingham, or a Montgomery guitar teacher in Alabama for 4 hours per week for two years, they could exponentially increase their guitar lesson experience, as well as their level of playing, for the same amount of money that they would spend taking a one hour guitar lesson for four years.
Yes, we understand that thinking this way demands a high level of expectation for oneself. But why think of your guitar playing, or the guitar lessons you're taking with anything less than high expectation. The music and your guitar playing is worth it.
