In-person would of course have been ideal, but Bradley is the first online music teacher that I've encountered who really utilizes that platform to its full extent. During my first lesson we jumped right in and wasted no time. Brad shared his screen and ran me through a number of drills to assess where I'm at and where I could improve, utilizing Guitar Pro software to create specific exercises on the spot. This "hit the ground running" teaching style really works well for my ISTJ personality type. I was given clear feedback and assigned homework. The next lesson built upon what we have covered in the previous lesson.
I like to play Irish tunes and other types of fiddle tunes on a tenor banjo tuned GDAEB (mine has one extra string!) and I play in intermediate to advanced sessions a couple times a week, surrounded by musicians who are often much better than I am. I didn't know what "sounding better" might mean but fortunately Brad could take a listen and know exactly what to address without any hemming and hawing or wasted time.
Brad has me thinking about all kinds of musical things I have never thought of before, which is what a great teacher should do. Since I am actively playing in sessions I can take the things I am working on and try them out in real-life situations. If you are looking for not just a music teacher, but a music coach who is an excellent communicator able to custom tailor their instruction just for you, then I strongly recommend that you check out Bradley Overton!
