Larry Sandberg
Mostly folk, blues, americana music. Song-based approach based on accompanying songs. Like students to know some theory and note reading. Avoid rote and tablature as much as possible, and encourage creativity. Work on fingering, and on learning concepts and explanations behind things. The old saying: If you give people a fish, you make them dependent; if you teach them to fish, you make them independent. Author of several guitar books and of instructional articles for Acoustic Guitar magazine, teach part-time at Swallow Hill and UCD, decades of experience.
