Alien Guitar Secrets Zoom lessons give you live, individual guitar tuition from home while following the same AGS approach used with face-to-face students — building technique, understanding, listening, creativity and greater freedom on the instrument.
Whether you're based elsewhere in Sydney, regional Australia, interstate or overseas, your lessons are built around your playing, musical goals and current level — not a generic online curriculum.
Zoom tuition is still proper one-to-one coaching. We can work on technique, fretboard understanding, rhythm, theory, repertoire, listening, improvisation and creative development — while adapting each session to what you need most and helping you turn what you learn into something you can actually use when you play.
Distance changes the format — not the depth of the teaching.
Zoom tuition isn't only for students who live far away. It can also be a practical option for busy players who want consistent one-to-one coaching while removing travel from their week.
International students are welcome too.
Lesson times can be arranged around suitable timezone availability.
Your first lesson gives you a chance to experience the format, discuss your goals and see how effectively we can work together before deciding on ongoing tuition.
Good online tuition isn't about trying to recreate a room through a webcam. It's about using the format intelligently so you still receive clear instruction, targeted feedback and a lesson pathway that keeps moving forward.
The medium changes. The teaching philosophy doesn't.
We still connect the information, hear the relationships, apply them musically and work toward greater freedom and independence on the instrument.
Tell us a little about your experience, musical goals, location and preferred availability. We'll use that information to organise the most appropriate starting point for your first Zoom lesson.
Your initial assessment is included within your first lesson, so we can establish where you are, begin working immediately and recommend the most useful direction from there.
Based in Sydney and prefer face-to-face tuition? Private lessons are also available from the AGS studio on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
ONLINE LESSON SETUP
You don't need a complicated setup to get started. A few basics will help your online lesson run smoothly and make it easier to focus on the playing.
Have your guitar ready, tuned and within easy reach. Electric guitar is ideal for AGS lessons, although other guitar types are welcome where appropriate.
A reliable connection helps keep audio and video clear throughout the lesson.
Use the latest version of Zoom on your computer or device before the lesson begins.
Position your camera so the guitar, fretting hand and picking hand can be seen clearly. Your device's built-in audio is enough to get started; headphones, an external microphone or audio interface can improve the experience where available.
Useful for recording exercises, practice goals, lesson notes and follow-up work.
Simple setup. Personalised tuition. The same AGS depth — wherever you are.
