My style of teaching is rather different from that found in most tutor books. Initially it relies a lot on demonstration and improvisation. There are no pages full of tedious tabulature with songs to learn note for note. That is not the way I learnt. Instead I will give you some basic techniques you can easily adapt to suit many songs.
