Guitar Lessons Adelaide
Our guitar lessons in Adelaide are built around the type of player you want to become.
Beginners can start with the fundamentals, learning chords, riffs, rhythm, picking, strumming and complete songs while developing good technique from the beginning. More experienced players can work on lead guitar, solos, scales, modes, improvisation, music theory, fretboard knowledge and more advanced playing techniques.
You can learn on electric or acoustic guitar and explore everything from rhythm playing and songwriting to technical lead guitar and performance.
If you want to play guitar in a band, lessons can also help you develop the timing, listening and rhythm skills needed to lock in with drums, bass and vocals.
Rock & Metal Guitar Lessons
Rock and metal are a major part of ARMI's musical identity, making our Adelaide music school a great environment for guitarists who want to explore heavier styles.
Whether you're interested in hard rock, heavy metal, punk, alternative rock, progressive metal, thrash, modern metal, nu metal, metalcore or djent, our teachers can help you develop the skills behind the music.
You might be working on tight rhythm riffs, alternate picking, heavy chord work, lead guitar, solos, extended-range guitar or more advanced techniques. As you progress, the focus can move beyond simply learning techniques towards developing your own playing style and musical identity.
Bass Guitar Lessons Adelaide
Bass is much more than simply playing the lowest notes. A great bassist understands how to work with the drummer, support the guitar and vocals, and create the groove that holds a song together.
Our bass guitar lessons in Adelaide focus on developing your timing, groove, technique and understanding of the instrument.
Beginners can learn the fundamentals of bass, while more experienced players can explore fingerstyle and pick playing, bass lines, scales, arpeggios, music theory, songwriting, arrangement and performance.
If your goal is to join a band, become a stronger bassist or simply understand the instrument better, your lessons can be shaped around what you want to achieve.
Guitar & Bass Lessons for Beginners
Never played before? That's completely fine.
Our guitar and bass teachers work with complete beginners as well as experienced musicians. You don't need to know how to read music or understand music theory before you start.
Your first lessons can focus on getting comfortable with your instrument, learning basic chords, riffs and rhythms and building the technique needed to play songs. As your skills develop, your lessons can progress into more advanced playing, improvisation, songwriting, theory and performance. The aim is to help you make progress without losing the enjoyment that made you want to play in the first place.
Learn the Music You Actually Like
Learning is more enjoyable when you're excited about what you're playing.
Tell your teacher what you want to learn and they'll help you work towards it while developing the underlying skills that will make you a better musician.
Whether you're into Metallica, Slipknot, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Green Day, Tool, Deftones, Korn, Rage Against the Machine or something completely different, your lessons can be built around your musical interests.
You don't have to choose between learning songs you love and learning proper technique. At ARMI, the two can happen together.
Experienced Guitar & Bass Teachers
Our guitar and bass teachers are experienced musicians who bring their own playing, recording, performing and industry experience into their lessons. Each teacher has their own musical background and areas of expertise, so you can find someone who understands the style of music you're interested in and the kind of musician you want to become. Our teachers work with you according to your ability, interests and goals.
