My methods tend to vary based on the student's particular needs. For young students, I would say up to the age of 12, I like to use the Beginning Mel Bay books, because they have a nice, even approach that introduces fundamentals.

After about 16 or so, if the student shows that they are passionate and have the attention span to stick with something that isn't easy at first glance, I graduate them to Mick Goodrick's "The Advancing Guitarist." At this point, they should have some grasp of ear training and transcription, so they will be picking solos and tunes they are challenged by and are excited to learn. Read More
