Bend & Release Music Academy — Online Guitar Lessons (English & Spanish)

Q: Do I need any experience to start?

No. Half of my students started without ever having played a note. The other half started, stopped, and came back years later. Both are good stories.

First step

Before I charge you, I want to hear you play.

I don't sell packs to whoever shows up. First we spend 30 minutes together, no cost, and figure out two things: where you're actually at, and whether I'm the right teacher to get you where you want to go.

You play something, anything, even one chord. I'll tell you what I hear.
You tell me where you want to get to with the guitar.
I map out a concrete path to get there — with me or without me.

If at the end it doesn't feel like a fit, I'll say so first. I'd rather do that than charge you for a month that won't actually help.

I take a limited number of new students each month so I can follow each one properly.

How it always starts

The plateau nobody warns you about.

The first two months are magic. You learn C, G, A minor, and suddenly you're playing a whole song. It feels like you've discovered something.

Then the plateau arrives.

You learn three more chords and they sound the same. Your rhythm slips. You watch someone on YouTube play the exact thing you're playing, except theirs sounds alive, and you can't work out what they're doing differently — because what they're doing differently isn't visible.

That's where most people put the guitar away. Not for lack of talent. For lack of someone to tell them exactly what's going wrong.

Fifteen years of teaching and it's always the same scene: someone arrives saying “I don't think I have an ear for this.” Three months later they're playing things they swore were impossible. It was never the ear. It was practising alone, repeating the same mistake a thousand times, with nobody there to catch it.

A bend is the moment a note stops being a note and becomes a feeling. That's where I want to take you. Not to playing correctly. To playing like you.

The difference

An app corrects your notes. I correct your music.

Real listening

I tell you what's actually happening

Not “practise more.” I'll tell you you're muting the strings half a second late with your palm, and why that makes everything sound stiff. Software can detect whether you played the right note — not whether it sounded good.

Your repertoire

We work on your music

Not a generic method. You bring the song you want to play, and we break it down together. You learn theory, technique and rhythm — applied to something that actually matters to you.

Direction

A plan, not loose lessons

You know what you're practising this week, why, and what it unlocks for next week. Progress stops depending on inspiration.

The path

From your first lesson to your own sound.

Month 01

It stops hurting

Posture, right hand, clean chord changes. The guitar stops feeling awkward and starts feeling like yours.

Month 03

It starts to sound like music

Steady rhythm, dynamics, your first full songs start to finish. People around you stop asking what you're playing.

Month 06

You understand what you're doing

You're no longer memorising shapes — you know why those chords work together. You can figure out songs by ear. You can improvise something simple without falling apart.

Month 12

You have your own voice

Phrasing, tone, judgement. You play with others, record yourself, write your own material. You no longer sound like a student — you sound like a guitarist.

What you bring

Three guitars. The same goal.

Acoustic

Acoustic and fingerstyle

You want to play songs, accompany yourself singing, have something nice for a get-together. The shortest path from zero to full songs.

Electric

Blues, rock and solos

You want the instrument to sing. Bending, vibrato, scales, tone, improvisation. This is where you find your voice.

Classical

Classical and nylon-string

Nylon technique and repertoire, with the ear of an active composer. For those who want depth, not shortcuts.

Before you book

The usual questions.

I have zero experience. Does it still work?

Yes. Half of my students started without ever having played a note. The other half started, stopped, and came back years later. Both are good stories.

Am I too old to start?

No. I've taught students from age 9 to 65. Adults learn differently than kids: slower in the fingers, much faster in the head. A private lesson adapts to that; a generic method doesn't.

I tried apps and videos and it didn't work. Why would this be different?

Because an app doesn't listen to you. It detects whether you played the right note, not whether it sounded good. That difference is exactly what makes music sound like music.

What do I need for online lessons?

A guitar (acoustic, electric or classical), an internet connection, and the free Zoom app. That's it.

What language are lessons in?

Spanish or English, whichever you're more comfortable with.

How do I pay?
