For those about to rock, Livewire Rock Academy is the place to start! Once you have the basics down, a great way to improve your playing and impress your friends is to learn how to play with a band. At Livewire Academy every lessons ends with a Jam session. Over the years we have chosen an array of our favorite guitar riffs, and we are adding to the list all the time with our students favorite songs.
A foundation in music theory will change the way you process and perceive music that you hear. Developing your ear will improve your playing. Just like a great writer can get better by reading the classics, a musician can improve by listening to excellent music. To further your understanding, consider setting up a home studio and recording your own music before playing it back. As you train your ear to listen for details in the music, like what key it is in, or why a particular succession of notes sounds good, you will be training yourself to be a stronger guitar player.
Our Great Dunmow rock school runs hour-long evening guitar lessons for children aged 6 and over and for adults, from complete beginners to experienced players. Each lesson starts with formal tuition on a 2:1 basis with a trained tutor and finishes with a 15-minute live jam, where everyone plugs in and plays three songs together as a band.
On guitar you will learn chords, riffs and solos, and the chord construction, harmony and keys behind them, so you understand the songs you are playing.
