About Drue James
After trying to write this page in the third person I eventually scrapped that idea and wrote it like I'm talking to an old friend.
About Me...
Well, what do you want to know?
I live in Cambridge (not London!). I have 5 children and a wonderful wife called Lucy.
Besides music I enjoy American pool, walking and cinema.
But really this isn't about me is it?
You're thinking, can you teach me guitar...
Well, perhaps you've already seen one of my lessons at the Drue James YouTube Channel
You can see that I love teaching and I get no greater joy than helping other people achieve those breakthrough moments with guitar.
I believe that learning guitar isn't that hard to do, but playing regularly and enjoying every practice is often the biggest obstacle. That's where I focus my methods and courses.
I do this by following 3 core beliefs...
1: Playing Guitar Brings Fulfilment And Joy
I teach guitar because music has brought consistent happiness, peace and fulfilment into my life. I feel it's my mission to share this joy with as many people as I can.
When someone watches my lessons (or has a one to one lesson with me) I want them to experience the same feeling of happiness and enthusiasm that I get playing guitar.
2: Playing Guitar Gives Us A Unique Sense Of Freedom
All of the greatest artists and bands that I admire represent this freedom. That's why I teach their songs!
I tap into the joy they've shared through their own songwriting. It's my mission to share these songs, making sure my students can learn them effectively and without feeling overwhelmed.
3: This ISN'T About Me - It's About You
I believe that teaching guitar is NOT a profession for the ego. However, music often attracts the biggest egomaniacs.
That's why finding a musician (online or not) that can teach with care and consideration for your skill level and music taste is essential.
I don't want to cram a 100 different songs and techniques into one video. I don't want to overload you. Instead, I want you to finish a lesson and feel motivated to learn more.
Each lesson is designed to be a "mini achievement" and inspire you to keep on playing.
You don't need to own 20 different guitars or talk about gear all the time to be a great teacher.
Guitars are tools to enjoy music. Granted, they're beautiful tools. But gear and equipment shouldn't be the main inspiration for enjoying learning guitar. This should come from a love of music.
