There are scores and scores of methods existing today for the Classical Guitar and there are an ever growing number of web-sites offering lessons to aspiring guitarists.

There are scores and scores of methods existing today for the Classical Guitar and there are an ever growing number of web-sites offering lessons to aspiring guitarists. All of these offerings fall short in that they give no or insufficient feedback to a student on their progress. With facilitated e-learning the student receives timely feedback on their progress.
This is done via 2-way video communications through very specific phases of learning. The student takes a video of the specific learning for that period of time and sends that video to Scott who reviews it and gives prompt feedback. At that time the student corrects their assignments and re-shoots a video and sends it to Scott. The student does not move forward until he/she demonstrates sufficient ability in that learning.
In many ways this way of learning is actually better than private face-to-face lessons. For one the student has video demonstrations (either of Scott or another student) of the thing he/she is studying and this video can be played over and over again. Because the lessons are very specific the student is free to focus and learn those tasks without going off on tangents. The student also feels more responsible for the material in an e-learning situation than a private lesson situation. This is due to the work involved in shooting a test where the student is very motivated to get it right.
In today’s world of so much choice isn’t it wonderful that you have an option to study with a world-class classical guitarist and teacher even if you don’t live in the Portland area?

Review of Scott Kritzer, December 05, 2008
I knew the first lesson that I was hooked for life. Scott sets the bar high and then pushes you to reach it. If you are tired of going to lessons just to learn a new song of the week, then try this studio on for size! The approach to learning is very systematic and the synergy within the studio is nothing short of amazing. Everything you could want or need for classical guitar growth is found in the Kritzer studio.
Oh yeah and if you wanna hear some of the best classcial guitar music every, just listen to his new CD. It is awesome!

Review of Scott Kritzer, December 05, 2008
For about 20 years I had a desire to learn classical guitar and, after several false starts, I finally got around to it. A year and a half ago I made the commitment and started looking for an instructor. There were none in my area, the nearest being an hour drive away. Searching the internet, I was VERY lucky to stumble upon the website of Scott Kritzer, a teacher with a great classical guitar resume. One of his only requirements was that his students must have a "beginners mind", which certainly qualified me. Sign me up!
During my time with Scott, my understanding of the guitar, my technique, and my ability to listen have grown exponentially. It has been a wonderful experience, expanding my understanding of something I love to do.
Scott has a method which I have grown to trust and respect. At first I did not know what to expect and couldn't see where his instructions were taking me. After moving through three of Scott's teaching phases, I am now starting to see where we are going and how his exercises are improving my playing. Each time I learn something new, I am glad no one (except my wife and cat) got to hear me play the old way, because my tone and technique are constantly improving.
Initially, I would receive his instructions via email videos, and then I would send him my video when I thought I was ready, which he would then evaluate. We recently began having our lessons live, on-line which is a much better method. Being live allows for Instant corrections of mistakes and also question and answer discussions which weren't available before. I am looking forward to many more years of learning from this great teacher.
