My name is Jules Rai, and I'm a professional musician, singer-songwriter and recording artist with over 15 years of experience in the industry and on my instrument. I have been teaching guitar for 10 years and offer lessons and instruction in beginning guitar, intermediate guitar, songcrafting, and instruction in my unique percussive right-hand technique (think Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Ani Difranco, Richie Havens).Here's a link to what I do so you can have an idea of what I can teach:

As a musician, I tend to travel a lot. My students these days typically take their lessons via Skype, Yahoo, or MSN through their webcam. Webcam lessons are a great way to gain special instruction with the teacher of your choice, no matter where you live and where they are. Take lessons from your comfort zone and work around your schedule.
Lessons are offered weekly at $35 per half-hour and focus on training skills on acoustic guitar. Teacher has 13+ years experience performing and teaching guitar internationally. Payments are made via PayPal or Credit / Debit Card following the end of each lesson. Block purchases available.
Skill level, age, genre interest, and of course location are unimportant. You can be just starting to pick up a guitar, or wanting to brush up or expand your repertoire and technique. However, you must:
1) Own an acoustic or acoustic/electric guitar (classical is ok, but standard is better)
2) Speak English OK (don't have to be fluent, but your english should be ok)
3) Own a webcam and Skype, Yahoo, or some other compatible cam software
4) Have a PayPal, Moneybookers, Liberty Reserve, or AlertPay account (payments for lessons are accepted online through any of these secure payment processors following the lesson)
Getting started is fairly easy--you can send me (Jules) an email at nycguitarcoach@gmail.com or join me on Twitter @webcamguitar and just send me an @ reply. We can work out the times, schedule, and I get more information about where you're starting from so I know how to help you.
I have references on request from previous and current students, so don't hesitate to ask! I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
