The focus for new year 2019 with all my guitar students at all levels is work on rhythm.  
​
Rhythm is overlooked by guitar players who usually practice by themselves in their room. We often forget the guitar is a rhythm instrument. Don't run away from your metronome or drum machine! The guitarist that can hold down the groove will get the gig before a fast lick. Fast lick guy is at guitar center annoying you while you are trying to check out your new guitar etc. No matter what your goals are, I want my fellow guitars to make music.

Tips: Always use a metronome or practice with a percussionist to get perfect, unending rhythm. Always practice strumming with a metronome to ensure you are rock-solid and reliable in the rhythm section. (Source:wikihow)

So proud of my student Tommie!!
Tommie has been studying with me for about six month. Now he got a gig playing with his awesome singer friend. We had so much fun working together!!

Electric Guitar Lessons at Bordas Guitar Instruction

At Bordas Guitar Instruction, individualized approaches to guitar lessons are my specialty. Most beginning students find it difficult to play the guitar. My approach is to help them through the early stages of frustration and teach basic knowledge of music history. Students will take the skills developed during the private guitar lessons and utilize them. I offer encouragement and expertise that will greatly enhance your chances of success. To find out more about my guitar classes or services, contact me at Bordas Guitar Instruction.

Appreciate all the positive feedback about Bordas Music.

​Peyton and I started out when he was in middle school. When I met him at the first guitar class, he did not know a single chord. Four years later, this is Peyton. Now he is using the basic pentatonic scale to improvise over an E blues. As a guitar teacher, I am very proud of how far he has come.

Again, very very proud of my student Peyton from Bordas Guitar Lesson in Irvine. I love seeing all my guitar students progress so rapidly. His accomplishment will help him get the college scholarship his family is looking for. I have many students in that position, the more outside activities, the better chance of standing out. ​

I appreciate the great feedback about Bordas Music. We are putting new music on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Examples of different styles of guitar and bass playing. Look forward to the lessons on guitar and bass coming soon. 

What I truly enjoy is customizing each lesson plan towards the specific level and goals of each student to bring a swift path to play what they want and outline the steps to achieve that.
