For a free copy of the ebook 'The Essential Guide To Teaching Guitar' visit http://bit.ly/GuitarTeacherWanted In this podcast I go through my top 5 reasons why I believe great guitar teachers are rare. Great teaching is a skill that can be mastered but most never reach a level of mastery. I don't claim to be a master by the way and never will. I will always view myself as a student but I do recognise mastery in others and I do strive for it. Having studied the topic of teaching, coaching, leadership etc for almost three decades has given me an acute awareness of what defines great teaching. No one knows it all and there are many different strengths a great teacher could possess but, the five reasons I discuss seem to be present with most great teachers I have come across.
