About Ben

I was brought up in a very musical family constantly listening to Classical, Jazz and folk revival and attending folk and fingerstyle sessions and ceilidhs from a young age. At 5 years old I took up the guitar alongside piano, violin and viola and gained an invaluable and comprehensive understanding of musical theory on a number of different instruments and genres and playing in various orchestras and ensembles. By 15 I moved to electric guitar, playing rock, grunge and metal and gaining experience with drummers and other musicians to learn the art of making musical conversation. In my 20s I returned to the acoustic and studied the ragtime and fingerstyle masters along with delta and country slide and dobro (lapslide), performing at various events and venues as well as providing a well sought after dobro session service for studios. For the last five years I have been intensively studying flamenco palos and techniques under a number of maestros both in the UK and in Spain and now perform with one of the UK's leading flamenco troupes, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company

About the lesson

**ONLINE OR FACE TO FACE LESSONS AVAILABLE** Lessons available in English or Spanish. Clases disponible en inglés o español. Experienced Guitar Teacher offering Professional Guitar Tuition online worldwide or face to face in Brighton & Hove My name's Ben Cox-Smith, I am a professional Guitar player and music teacher in Brighton, I am currently offering courses in Flamenco, Fingerstyle, Acoustic, Electric, Slide or Dobro Guitar (flamenco, fingerstyle, ragtime, blues, slide, lap slide, folk, rock, metal) for pupils seeking one-to-one or group lessons. I have 30 years playing experience, 20 years teaching experience and 20+ years experience performing across the UK in a plethora of flamenco, folk, grunge and ragtime groups as well as solo blues, fingerstyle, classical and flamenco performances at private and public functions and studio session work. I believe repertoire, the ability to produce varied and interesting accompaniment and effective practice are the most important aspects of a musician's arsenal and, from the very beginning, teach guitar and music theory catering to the music tastes of the pupil, be it Rock, acoustic, folk, metal, fingerstyle, classical or slide I offer beginner, intermediate and courses in flamenco, fingerstyle, ragtime, slide, dobro and general songwriting accompaniment. These involve a more concise look at: • Improvisation & Understanding of Musical Conversation • Ear Training to help you Learn to intuitively play what's in your head • Harmony & Theory (Understanding music as a language) •Technique & Dexterity (providing the skills to perform advanced styles as well as effective practice technique to advance as quickly as possible) - Arrangement and accompaniment for songwriting and how to avoid getting stuck in one way of writing and/or playing Specific flamenco courses typically cover: - Fundamental general guitar and specific flamenco techniques. - The compas (distinctive rhythm) and melodic motifs of each major palo (flamenco form). - Falsetas (melodic guitar 'solos'). - Accompaniment of singing and dancing as well as the structure of each palo (form). - Flamenco guitar for solo playing. - Terminology and language. - Popular songs and artists e.g. Ketama, Gypsy Kings etc. (clases disponible en inglés o español) All students will have the option to play a vast array of Guitars in my possession to get a feel for the right guitar to suit their playing. Rates I currently charge £35 per hour for lessons or 5 lessons block booked for £150 **ONLINE LESSONS AVAILABLE UK / WORLDWIDE** (or face to face in Brighton & Hove) Ideally students should practice at least 30 minutes a day, however, in reality, life can get in the way and even 10 minutes of effective practice is worth literally hours of ineffective practice. Bad practice technique is why a lot of guitarists feel 'stuck in a rut' and don't understand why their playing seems to have stagnated, or why it's taking so long to see results. For this reason, effective practice technique is one of the most important areas I teach and, if done correctly, you'll be astonished at the progress you can make in a very short time from 30 minutes per day!
