Advanced Acoustic/Electric Guitar Lessons
Advanced acoustic/electric guitar lessons are designed for professional musicians who have been studying electric (acoustic) guitar for seven years or more, know a vast number of chords and chord progressions, and can improvise and play by ear as well as harmonize melodies with complex chords and chord inversions.
Our advanced lessons will help you reach the higher limits of your potential and abilities. They are also ideal for those students who want to enter higher music education institutions.
Note that studying with a teacher is important in the formation of a musician’s performance skills. Self-study does not give you a real assessment and evaluation of your performance level, which often leads to failures and mistakes such as the wrong choice of a musical piece.
Therefore Edora MS recommends that advanced guitar players take lessons with a teacher at least two times a week.
Advanced acoustic/electric guitar lessons at Edora MS cover the following topics:
- Complex chords and chord inversions. Find your guitar sound and performance style. Insight into the variety of phrases (licks) that make up different styles. Acquire knowledge about music elements such as timbre, tessitura, meter, texture, etc. Understanding how the elements of music are used in different styles. Different techniques for modulating to different keys. How to diversify harmony with seventh and ninth chords and their inversions in different fretboard positions. Broken chords and chords with added tensions.
- Developing virtuosity and exceptional technical abilities. Writing lead and rhythm guitar parts for a band. Exotic scales, improvisation, and building solos. Playing with backing tracks, blues licks using the pentatonic scale, finding your unique tone, and choosing the right equipment for your guitar. Elusive stylistic tricks and techniques, chromatic guitar sequences.
- Tricks and riffs for a variety of sound effects, tips for improving your fingerstyle playing (bass line as a second melody), and alternate picking. Bending and sliding.

Edora MS is a classically oriented school where education is organized using modern computer technologies. We provide our students with an opportunity to learn musical instruments with a personal teacher online through Skype, Zoom, etc.
According to recent research, the effectiveness of education under a teacher’s supervision is 70% higher compared to self-study by online music courses and various YouTube lessons. However, you can learn a guitar on your own, but it would not be worth it. This is because most times, to learn on your own a piece of music effectively takes a few months. During this period probably, you would lose motivation and confidence in yourself.
In other words, various online music courses & tutorials that are promoted on the Internet, despite the growing popularity, will not replace the live communication with the teacher, and would not give you the desired rapid progress.
The teachers of Edora MS will help you love studying and playing the guitar. There are a large number of sites that could provide similar services, but our research has shown us the administrations of these sites have no idea about their freelancers’ competence. Unlike them, Edora MS arranges labor contracts only with certified teachers whose qualifications we are confident about. All of our teachers possess vast pedagogical experience, have graduated from the best European music academies, and have earned many awards for their performance as musicians. They are able to meet the selection criteria to a very high standard, and we can assure you the best quality of services and professionalism from our team.
