I have taught 4 students on guitar about 20 years ago. They all still play for pleasure and one became a professional touring guitarist. I did not teach them much technique but I did teach mostly ear training on identifying chord types by ear and picking out key of the songs they brought to me to learn.

The fact that they all still play makes me very happy. I did not charge any of them because the guys that took time to teach me never charged me.

I’ve taught home recording to a few including my own son. Those few still do it as well.

I learned a lot of my home recording stuff from rharv and Mac here in the late 90’s and I will forever be thankful to this forum and particularly those two and their willingness to guide and teach.

I’ve re-taught Pat Pattison’s boxes method for lyricists in a couple of song circles I have hosted at my house. Some total noobs came to those who hadn’t even written poetry before and they picked right up on Pat’s method and one of them writes regularly.

Except for the one guitar student who went in to tour for several years, none of these were raging success stories except I know I was part of their journey that continues. That is probably the most satisfying thing about it. I provided a nudge
