A little quick background, I played Baritone/Tube and Piano for 7-8 years through middle school and high school!. I was decent and liked music!. I learned the classical music style!. Through initial college, I was too busy and stopped playing!.
During my junior and senor year, I bought a keyboard and played by chord and lead sheet!. I got a guitar during my senor year!. It's been about a year, and I'm out of undergrad, and I took a music theory class before I graduated!.
Guitar was pretty simple to me to start!. All I really had to do was increase my finger strength and agility!. I never took a formal lesson, but I want to be better!. My friend also introduced me to speech level singing with vowels and scales!. I've been messing around absolute pitch and relative recognition!.
Anyway, I want to get better!. I'm taking graduate level class in engineering and have limited amount of time!. I want to take lessons, but I don't know what to take!.
I tried to take lesson 2 years ago, but all I got was more classical piano!. I like classical, but I want to learn to play by ear!. All I got from that teacher was more techniques on classical music with some useful arpeggio!. I like music but don't want it to be a burden!.
So what should I look for!? I want some contemporary jazz/pop!. I haven't learned the lower frets on guitar!. I still have latency between some more difficult chord transitions!. I want to learn how to sing a little better and play by ear!. Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com
