I'm a beginner and have never held a guitar in my hands: Can I start taking lessons from Jacinto Mendez anyway?

What kind of guitar do I need?
For beginners, I recommend a concert or classical guitar.
I can't read notes, can I still take guitar lessons?
Yes. You don’t necessarily need sheet music to learn to play the guitar and that’s how I structure my lessons. You can also concentrate on singing and playing at the same time.
I just want to learn songs: Is that possible too?
Most students want to do this, so of course we do it.

Do you offer lessons beyond guitar as well?
Yes, in addition to guitar lessons, I also offer instruction in bass, ukulele and voice depending on the request. Feel free to get in touch.
How would you describe your teaching and what kind of method is used?
My concept is: Every student determines the content of the lesson itself. In the beginning, we clarify your goals (e.g. accompanying songs and singing, picking technique, composing, improvising …), in this way we can customize your lessons. Based on your previous knowledge and goals, I then design your lessons. For beginners without prior knowledge, a foundation of chords and strumming has to be set, but we do this in parallel to learning songs. This way you will enjoy the feeling of being able to play songs right from the start. Practicing is also a lot more fun. For effective practice, I offer different techniques that are also part of my lessons. We already use these techniques during the lesson. During the practice session we make videos, so you can watch them again and again at home for practicing and rehearsing. I would like to stress that fun and good motivation are at the forefront in my mind, as only this can make good and effective learning is possible.
Is it possible to do a trial lesson?
Yes! We can arrange a trial lesson without obligation. This costs €20.
How long does it take to play guitar?
In general you can not say how long it takes. Several factors play a role. Talent, previous musical knowledge, but also a certain degree of discipline is important. Regular practice supports progress immensely. Nevertheless, it is possible to achieve good results after the first few hours and to be able to play songs.
How long does it take to play and sing at the same time?
It tends to take approximately 4-5 hours until you can play and sing a song.
Since when has Jacinto Mendez been teaching?
Since approximately 34 years.
Can I start at an advanced level?
Yes, I have already taught many advanced students and supported them in their musical development.
