No Nonsense, No Book Method
The Classic Book One, Book Two, Book 3 Method Books– Do NOT work! You NEVER get the ‘Big Picture’ of Music….
The Thomas Shugar ‘No-Nonsense Guitar Method’ is my own curriculum that becomes a nine chapter book.
My curriculum offers the ‘Big Picture’ of understanding music, giving you a solid foundation if you are just starting out, or deepening your knowledge even if you are if you are an intermediate, or advanced player.
My curriculum covers Music Theory, Scales, Chords, Common Chord Progressions, Altered and Extended Chords, Finger Exercises for both hands, Reading Standard Notation, Rhythm, Fret board Knowledge, Understanding Modes, Building Guitar Solos, Finger Picking, String Bending, Ear Training, and how it all comes together- Plus so much more.
My goal was to take complicated ideas, and make them easy, so you can enjoy music without having to do a lot of ‘nonsense’.
The point is to work smarter, not harder, so you can enjoy music. You will learn more in less time!
Students can Record their Lessons, Songs and Compositions
I have always thought outside of the box, with having NO limits placed on my students. This also goes for the recording studio.
All practiced up, and nowhere to go? Students want to play in a band, and don’t have one? No worries– My recording studio covers ALL aspects, and instruments required for a full, professional, and Broadcast Quality recording.
Recording Classes
With home recording being easily accessible, and very affordable, now more than ever– Musicians are turning towards investing in their own personal equipment, rather than paying an exhorbanent amount of money, (per hour) to a bigger recording studio.
