A guitar lesson with me might entail the following
If the student has never played I teach basic open position chords in a certain order that goes from easier to harder and how to strum. I then teach them some songs (that they have heard before and like). If they already play I ask them what difficulties or questions they have, observe their playing and fill in the missing gaps. This is how I also teach an advanced or pro layer.
Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following
Chords and reading tab, strumming and minor pentatonic scales if they want to play lead and they are complete beginners. I observe their playing and get what they think their weak points are, and coordinate what I'm going to teach them based on their goals. In other words I determine where they are and where they want to get and work out an effecient way to get them there.
The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following
Anyone who really wants to learn (not just the guitar, but how music works).
