About the Author: Stefan Joubert

Stefan Joubert manager of London Guitar Institute is passionate about adult education. He believes that absolutely anyone can learn to play the guitar and it is just a matter of getting good education and getting started.

There are claims that you can learn anything using YouTube. All you need is an internet connection and some time to view the videos. Many new people who want to learn the guitar often start by watching YouTube tutorials and it can be a fun, inexpensive way to learn a few basics.

There are reasons why many of my students prefer one on one tuition to YouTube. While YouTube is great as an introduction, most students find they learn a lot more in one hour with me than they do spending days on YouTube searching for the ideal YouTube tutorial.

Here are the key differences.

Bespoke Lessons

We work together as a team to ensure you become the guitar player you always dreamed of becoming. In a lesson with me, I can discover your stumbling blocks, and assess your current ability. Lessons are then tailored specifically to you, in order to make sure you reach your full potential. YouTube videos are tailored for the masses and unlikely to be at a level you’re at currently, as they assume every guitar player is the same, whereas I know we should celebrate, and capitalise on, your differences.

Using YouTube to develop your guitar skills without proper tuition with an excellent guitar teacher, you will most certainly miss out on that personal and important touch!

Real Time Advice and Expertise

As you play I will give you feedback and demonstrate ways in which you can use your own habits to hone your guitar playing skills. I’ll be able to see which areas you excel at and which need improvement, thus accelerating your learning and making guitar lessons more productive for you overall.

Your Choices

You don’t have to learn to play someone else’s song choices with one to one guitar lessons in London. We’ll tailor a strategy to get you up to speed as soon as possible and you can also tell me about the songs you’ve always wanted to learn to play on the guitar.

Lessons that Grow With You

In every lesson, your expertise will grow and our next lesson together will be completely bespoke to your current skill level. YouTube is great for practising but nothing beats one on one guitar lessons in London for learning to play the way you want to.
