Lessons
Lessons at Spire Mink Guitar are private and adult-focused. We cover acoustic and electric paths, always starting from how your hands actually move today.
Beginners build chord changes, strum patterns, and simple lead phrases. Intermediate players refine barre stamina, alternate picking, fingerstyle patterns, and song arrangement.
Theory appears as needed for the music you want — keys, the Nashville numbers when useful, modes only when a solo demands them. No theory for theory’s sake.
Homework is short and specific. If a week collapses, we reset rather than guilt. Consistency beats heroic catch-up sessions that inflame tendons.
Instrument questions (string gauges, setup) get practical guidance. We do not sell guitars on commission theatre.
Private lessons last about fifty minutes. We record fingerings and practice order in plain language. Capo, alternate tunings, and simple recording tips appear when they serve your repertoire. Tendon care is part of technique — rest beats bravado. If you travel, ask for a suitcase practice plan that fits a travel guitar.
