Assessment Sessions

Find Your Starting Point. Build Your Path Forward.

Every guitarist begins their journey from a different place.

Some students arrive as complete beginners, others have been playing for years but feel stuck, and some simply want clarity about what to learn next.
 
The Alien Guitar Secrets Assessment Session is designed to understand exactly where you are in your musical journey — and help you take the next step with confidence.

This session allows us to evaluate your current ability, identify strengths and gaps, and recommend the most effective path forward for your development.

Whether you’re looking for private lessons, enrolling your child in the Junior Academy, or exploring advanced fretboard mastery, the assessment session ensures we start in the right place.

What Happens During the Assessment Session?

During the session we’ll spend time getting to know both you and your relationship with the guitar. This may include:

  • A short discussion about your musical goals and experience
  • Observing how you currently approach the instrument
  • Looking at rhythm, chords, technique or fretboard knowledge.
  • Exploring how you hear and respond to music
  • Identifying areas that will unlock the fastest progress

There’s no pressure and no expectation to “perform”.
Think of it as a musical conversation rather than a test.

Why We Start With An Assessment

Designed With You in Mind

Many guitarists spend years learning random pieces of information without a clear structure.

Our assessment process helps us avoid that by designing a clear and personalised pathway for your development.  

After the session we can recommend the most suitable next step, which may include:
 
• Private Guitar Lessons
• Junior Academy lessons for younger students
• Zoom lessons for remote students
• Structured course programs such as the Alien Guitar Secrets Fretboard Mastery system  

The goal is simple: clarity, confidence, and a learning path that actually makes sense.

Who This Session Is For

This session is ideal for:
 
• Complete beginners who want to start properly
• Intermediate players who feel stuck on the fretboard
• Students returning to guitar after time away
• Parents looking for structured lessons for their child
• Guitarists who want a clear plan for improving  

If you’re unsure where to begin, this session is the best place to start.
