DETROIT GUITAR TUTOR
CUSTOM-MADE LESSONS
my approach
My name is Robert Artinian, and I teach guitar--acoustic as well as electric. I love working with beginners & have a passion for helping students get to the next level, wherever they're at.
Unlike some who use the same collection of songs for every student, I take a highly-individualized & song-oriented approach to teaching. I start by asking each new student for a list of songs they personally love & hope to learn--and then I work from there ;) This way, you end up learning chords, strumming/picking patterns, scales, music theory, and other skills by learning whole songs--songs that you actually want to learn! As we work our way through your personal song-list, your skills and confidence will grow.
Sometimes in life, a little bit of help can save a whole lot of time. So tell me where you want to go with guitar, and I'll help you get there faster ;)
