Learn to play the guitar in Buenos Aires!

Occasionally I like to give a shameless plug to one of my friends in Buenos Aires that I think has a service potentially of interest to tourists and expats here. This is one such post.

My friend Cristian is a kick-ass guitar player. I’ve played with him and seen him live before, and both times left me feeling (in true Wayne’s World style) “I am not worthy”. So, I’m sure his lessons will be an excellent option for budding guitarists here in Buenos Aires, who want to learn from an expert musician.

Keep reading for more info (in Cristian’s own words), details and prices…

Over to you, Cristian:

“Description of guitar classes:

We talk about the student’s needs, expectations for the class, music they like to play and learn (whether it’s rock, folk, blues, electronic, or other types), etc. I design each course plan specially for each student. Also, I email them exercises that they can practice at home. It’s great because music is in their minds all the time… not just the 2 hours that they are in class with me.”

“I am in constant contact with my students; I want them to contact me if they have a question or want more exercises to do. I have good material that I also use in my class….”bases” like drums, bass, etc. So when they get comfortable, they can play like they are in a real band and work with the rhythms in music. I also use reference books which provide good, solid information.”

“Details of classes:

• They are generally 2 hours long.
• The rate is $20 pesos per hour.
• Classes generally take place at my apartment, in the City Center
• Mostly in Spanish, but can also explain in English
• Contact Cristian by email: guitarclasses@yahoo.com.ar “

OK, back to Alan writing now. I can vouch for Cristian’s English skills, despite his modesty above… if you have sketchy Spanish skills, I’m sure Cristian will still be able to communicate the important details to you. And anyway, soon you’ll be talking in the international language of music!

Just think, pretty soon, this could be you:
