Once upon a time, one of my co-workers asked me to show her how to play some songs on the guitar. I can't remember exactly what those songs were, but I think it was Led Zeppelin, or something like that.

I will often start beginning students with George Vance method books, emphasizing sound setup, facility, notation reading and musicality.

I have found in my many years of teaching that it is better to give the basic foundations of music and to teach the students the music they want to learn versuses boring them with music they dislike.
