Through the years I've had the privilege of meeting plenty of new students and teaching huge amounts of acoustic guitar lessons. The students have learned a great deal but I do think i have benefited from it as much or even more. Everyone who comes to me for acoustic guitar lessons has different goals and different levels of drive. It's my task to understand what their goals are as well as decide their amounts of motivation and dedication. After I understand that I can begin to come up with suitable acoustic guitar lessons for them.

It makes sense from a business perspective because after they reach what they've set out to do they'll keep coming back to get more since what I teach them delivers results. Secondly and maybe most importantly it will help me to feel good about supplying great quality lessons for them so that they get much more value than what they paid for. It's truly a win-win situation.

So let us get back to that word perfect. It sounds great. 'The Perfect Acoustic Guitar Lesson' but unfortunately it does not exist. There's no such thing as perfection as we are always trying to accomplish more and to be better than we currently are. Therefore if perfection is really a moving target why aim for that? Instead strive for something that is concrete and real. Like learning new strumming patterns so that you can improve your rhythm playing and breathe new life into the songs you currently know. Once I realize that is exactly what a student is after then i can finally make a start on delivering a lesson that is 'perfect' for them depending on their set goals.

That exact same lesson might be an overall total disaster for someone else who just desires to learn some fingerpicking so that he can serenade his girlfriend. This is why there isn't any universal perfect acoustic guitar lesson. So instead of spending too much time online searching for the perfect lesson rather get crystal clear about what it really is you're after and find somebody that can in fact accomplish that and teach it for you.
