Jamey
Andreas is a classical guitarist based in New York, who has
taught and played all styles of guitar for almost 30 years, his specialty
being the Classical
Guitar. In that time, he has developed teaching
methods that are so effective and fundamental to all styles and levels of
players, he has called them "The Principles of Correct Practice for
Guitar". Through the use of these principles, anyone can learn to play the
guitar correctly, from the beginning, so that bad habits and playing
problems do not appear, as they do for so many guitarists and would be
guitarists.
Likewise, longtime players can learn how to undo the
bad habits they have unknowingly acquired over the years, bad habits that
are preventing them from
improving.
Jamey enjoys all styles of
music from Rock to Classical. In 1997 he released a CD "Touched To My
Tenderness" a collection of Guitar Classics, featuring Spanish Guitar
Solos, as well as original arrangements of songs by the Beatles, Send in
the Clowns, and Classical Gas. In 1999, he published his revolutionary
approach learning the guitar "The Principles of Correct Practice for
Guitar". It is now being used by players around the world, as they use
the
Understandings, Tools, and Foundation Exercises it contains to
overcome the obstacles to development as a guitarist.
He has
written original music for the guitar also, which he will be releasing
soon. In addition to being a performer and composer, Jamey is dedicated to
helping other players become the guitarists they want to be, by teaching
them how to use "The Principles of Correct Practice for
Guitar".
