Guitar Coaching

Advances in technology are opening up the ways for guitarists to hone their skills to the level required for professional play. The Personal Trainer Program devised by the Mike Hayes Guitar Studio is set to vastly improve the standards of guitar playing across the world.

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Sat, March 8th, 2008 — The 50th Annual Grammy Awards are a stark reminder of what is required for a person to learn to play guitar to a vocational level and advances in technology means that one of the emerging places to learn guitar is with the Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (http://www.GuitarCoaching.com). In previous days, this level of professionalism was only achievable at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles or at the Berklee College of Music in Boston but the advent of the internet means that a guitarist can hone their skills in the comfort of their own home and learn the skills to be a professional musician via their own “university without walls.”

Playing guitar is something that many people enjoy and although countless people harbor ambitions of becoming a professional guitarist one day, there are many problems that prevent them from doing so. Self-training can be fun but it is not true that practice makes perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect and when you consider that 98% of instructional guitar training material is not designed to train guitarists to the vocational standards of the industry, it is clear there are failings in the way that many people learn to play guitar.

The Mike Hayes Guitar Studio has been offering individual’s professional, one of a kind opportunities to learn guitar for several years now. Now the studio is again offering a course in linear sight reading just in time for the Air Guitar US and World Championships.

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, October 19th, 2007 — The Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (http://www.guitarcoaching.com) is excited to present a new addition to their list of courses that can help people learn guitar in a relatively short period of time. The new course is called Linear Sight Reading Course and can help individuals learn how to read standard music notation, something that many consider too difficult. Not being able to read music is one of the biggest issues that guitar players face and Mike Hayes has developed this course to make reading music easier than ever.

The inability to read music is often the reason that many people do not learn guitar even though it is something that they would like to do. To play guitar well one needs to understand standard music notation including the names of notes, the scale step numbers in all keys, as well as the location of notes on the music staff and on the fingerboard. The idea of learning all of this is overwhelming to many and has them quitting the guitar before it’s ever really started.

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, Feb. 9th, 2007 — Mike Hayes (www.guitarcoaching.com), renowned guitarist and teacher from Queensland, Australia, has developed a new method called Express Guitar that is geared to teach aspiring guitarists useful tunes in no time.

In the past, the best way to learn to play guitar was to practice basic chords and learn simple children’s tunes that were worthless in a setting where a player wants to impress a crowd. Hayes’ Express Guitar method focuses on simple chords that require only two to three fingers as a starting point, allowing students to build upon maintaining a “groove.” Because the human response to music begins with rhythm, followed by melody and then harmony, the Express Guitar method hinges guitar lessons on building skills in this order.
