As a guitar teacher it's important you use the best quality resources in your lessons. Your students will learn faster and enjoy lessons more when you provide them with materials suited to their needs. Using custom guitar lesson plans you can pick out that specifically meets your students' needs is the best way to teach guitar. Here's a quick overview of the main types of guitar teaching resources you need as a guitar teacher.
Guitar Lesson Plans
Using custom guitar lesson plans is the easiest way to create a custom curriculum for your student to teach them exactly what they want to learn.
How guitar lesson plans help you as a guitar teacher:
- You can change course at any time (instead of having to follow content in a book)
- Your student will be happy because you can teach them exactly what they want (and need) to learn
- It creates anticipation for future lessons because the student won't know what will be next
How guitar lesson plans can save you from losing a student
One of the best reasons to use lesson plans is simple - you can quickly download and print off a lesson in under five minutes. Imagine the awkward situation where a student turns up unexpectedly (ie: they got the date mixed up). How you handle this situation can leave a long lasting impression on the student. Do you tell them to go home because you haven't got anything prepared? If you do that you will lose credibility (even if it's their fault!). A single bad impression like that could mean the student will look for somebody else.
Having access to a wide range of guitar lesson plans means you could quickly look through the list of lessons available, pick something suitable, download the lesson plan and print it off within a couple of minutes. The included lesson instructions with every lesson plan will help guide you through the lesson with easy explanations. This way the student is happy because they get a lesson instead of having to go home in humiliation.

Our Guitar Lesson Plans
Below is an example of one of the guitar lesson plans you have available as a Live and Teach Guitar Member. The page on the left is the content you print off and give to your student. In this example it covers the basics of using a guitar slide including a few licks to get the student started. The page on the right gives you a breakdown on one possible way you could teach the lesson. The Teacher's Guide covers explanations of all techniques and concepts, exercises, licks and covers extra ideas for future lessons. This is extremely handy if you have never taught guitar before but still handy if you're an experienced teacher. Learning different ways to explain techniques will help you advance as a guitar teacher.
