Student Reviews
Hara is an awesome guitar teacher who really enjoys teaching. He explains everything about the guitar in a really fun, eloquent way that's easy to grasp. I was looking for a teacher who was well versed in many different styles of music, because I'm a singer who wants to be able to compose my own songs. Hara is 100% the teacher I was looking for to guide me in this process - I'm well on my way now!
Summer Teacher: Hara G.About the Guitar
The Spanish vihuela or "viola da mano", a guitar-like instrument of the 16th century, appears to be an aberration in the transition from the renaissance instrument to the modern guitar. It had lute-style tuning and a guitar-like body.
