Skype Rock Out!
Jamie is now offering Skype tuition - allowing students to receive real-time, high quality audio and HD video direct from the studio. A tried and tested method used all over the world, these live sessions enable you to chat, explore and improve your playing in a down-to-earth and proven format from the comfort of your very own home, bedroom or office.
How does it work?
What do I need to get started?
To get lessons using Skype, you'll need:
- A modern computer or laptop
- The Skype software (totally free!)
- A web camera (webcam)
- A soundcard and speakers
- A moderately fast internet connection (> 3Mbps)
- Your guitar!
How much does it cost?
Skype lessons with Jamie cost just £35 per hour. You can pay via PayPal and we have a form in the student area that allows to book your slot and pay instantly.
What do I get?
You get an hour's tuition with Jamie, which includes:
- PDF's of Jamie's own course content
- MP3 backing tracks
- Structured lessons based around you
- HD quality video with zoom for close-ups on hands
- Jamie's vocals and guitar are run via a mixer (not a webcam mic)
How do I get started?
All sessions must be paid for up-front, via PayPal, before Jamie can book you in. On initial enquiry, Jamie will ask you for preferred dates and times, and once settled upon, full payment guarantees the slot. If payment is not made 48 hours prior to the session, Jamie cannot guarantee that you will get it. There are absolutely no refunds for no-shows or cancellations, period.
Once you book your session, you'll receive Jamie's Skype email address and you'll be added to his Skype contacts.
Unsolicited attempts at connecting to Jamie's Skype account will fail.
How many lessons will I need?
Hmmm. How long is the proverbial piece of string? Many students sign up for a complete course of lessons whereas some might just want help with a specific aspect of their playing. It's really up to you to set the pace and the number of sessions.
