Change is the only constant in human life. Teaching is about changing students for the better and so tutors know more than most why change is so hard, and how and why we resist change. Neil explains how to break down that natural resistance and how to identify and remove a students limiting beliefs about themselves and what they are capable of. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Talent generally is irrelevant in guitar teaching, secondary to skill and technique.
Students will often provide reasons as to why they find it difficult to learn, progress or transform that are simply not true. 
Teachability is inverse in proportion to experience.
It is up to you to deprogram your students of their limiting beliefs and bolster them with a new, dynamic and successful vision of themselves with the skills you teach them. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Round about all that stuff there is also my little belief that talent is mostly irrelevant as what I teach every single day simulates the idea of talent so closely.’

‘When you really listen to what students tell you they will tell you exactly how they see themselves.’ 

‘I figure out how they think and how they look at it, and then I go in and royally mess it up for them. I’ll mess up their programming so much they can’t get it back.’ 

‘People are funny things. They want to find a way to change and get what they always wanted, but then they find a way to beat it away from themselves.’
