Want to get some additional exposure for your teaching business and share your knowledge and experience with other guitar teachers around the world? Here’s your opportunity!

As a member of the Start Teaching Guitar community, I’d like to invite you to do an interview for the website. It’s easy…just answer the questions below and click submit. I’ll take the best interviews and publish them on the Start Teaching Guitar website, with a link back to your teaching website.

NOTE: I’ve been getting a pretty high volume of interview submissions lately, and I can’t publish them all…there are just too many!

To increase the chances of your interview making it to the website, please provide as much good, useful information in your responses as possible! Avoid “one sentence” answers. Try to write the kind of things you would enjoy reading yourself, and try to genuinely help the other guitar teachers who might read your interview.

It also helps if you do some editing yourself before you submit…fix any misspellings, grammar errors, etc. That saves me time and also helps push your interview to the top of the stack.

Here are the rules:

I won’t be able to publish every single interview…only the submissions I feel would be most beneficial to the Start Teaching Guitar community will be selected
If I can’t publish your entire interview, I may pull quotes from it and publish them on various parts of the site or use them in the podcast (at my discretion)
I reserve the right to edit your interview to fix typos, remove offensive language and to make it the best fit for the Start Teaching Guitar community
By submitting an interview, you are giving me permission to use it in any way I think is best (it will become the property of Start Teaching Guitar and Schex Appeal, LLC)
