Improv/Adlib
Expand your creativity and spontaneity by learning how to create great melodies
Learn the language of music
Most guitar students have a desire to improvise on the guitar to create
melodies just from picking up the guitar. However for most students trying to understand the concept of improvisation often have a problem similar to staring at a blank canvas not knowing what to play.
​
While a popular approach to learning how to improvise is by learning phrases, OGS's lessons first focus on building a student's internal sense of melody and fearlessness to explore scales by trusting their ear.
​
Learning various scales and arpeggios/chord tones adds to a student's toolkit of sounds and textures they can use on the fly.
​
The end goal is to develop a student's confidence and willingness to express themselves freely on the guitar.

Testimonial
"Ever since I bought a guitar a long time ago, I've been practicing and failing a lot, and I haven't been able to make any progress, but ever since I started attending this guitar class, I've been able to stay motivated.
Since it's one-on-one, I'm happy that I can easily ask questions about things I don't understand, learn the correct playing techniques, and understand the theoretical background of music."
