8 Types of Classical Guitar Teachers

[@AndrewMichaelCG]

I'm definitely the philosophical one. I've got dozens of analogies I use in my teaching. My favorite being that each finger is like a dog you have to train. One time a student replied with "yeah, the index is a lab, the middle fingers a pit bull, and the pinkie's like a chihuahua cuz is small and shakey and never does what you tell it to."

[@guitarcody9]

Haha, I like that! Sometimes those analogies can be super and helpful.

[@SUPERMEGAnutzername]

There is also the one who doesn't care and checks the phone while you play

[@brewdd]

The one who sings and conducts 😂 gave me nostalgia because my old teacher used to do that

[@guitarcody9]

Yeah? What instrument do you play?

[@hunterrhodes137]

Whenever my teacher hums, it always brings out my musicality.

[@LordBrozart]

I’ve been all of these at some point or another 😂

[@guitarcody9]

Haha, I think sometimes the teacher has to adapt based on what the student needs and how they learn.

[@jamessestric2064]

This is so funny. My roommate in college always stared when he played. So funny

[@guitarcody9]

I never know where to look when someone starts playing for me and then stares into my soul. Do we lock eyes? Or just avoid eye contact? Lol
