NORTH POINT · ONE TO ONE
Electric one-to-one · North Point
Electric guitar is the interface between fingers, strings, and sound control. Every lesson starts with your goals, your taste, and where you are now.
Every lesson is taught by Will Chan.
Where the sound starts
Electric guitar is where groove, tone, and line meet. Lessons take blues rock as the spine—feel, tone, and improvisation in one thread. From your goals we open into pop rock, indie rock, neo soul, jazz, or heavy metal. Every lesson is taught by Will: we listen for the sound you want, then shape the path.

Full index · Chan’s Scroll E-series (optional)
The studio method library holds far more than the map above (E-series ≈ 290 themes / 19 books). Class draws what you need; you do not cover everything at once. Full index: My Guitar Notes and the studio method system.
How we teach
Lessons follow a clear system—posture and touch, then rhythm, technique, tone, and improvisation—in order. The path is personalised to your level, the music you want, and the practice time you have. A short-term song and a longer path can sit side by side.
North Point studio (Studio location in North Point), one-to-one (or a self-formed group of 2–3). We listen for the sound and styles you want, then set a monthly rhythm—tone, pedals, and improvisation follow your aim; exams only if you ask.

FAQ
FAQ
I’ve never played guitar or DJ. Where do I start?
Bring a few pieces of music you love. In the trial lesson, tell your teacher what you want; together you shape the path and pace. Exams are optional—not the point.
Do I need to bring a guitar or DJ controller?
Having your own instrument at home helps practice. You need not bring one to class—guitars are provided. You are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. The same applies to a DJ controller: useful at home; not required in the studio. Unsure what to buy? Ask in your first trial lesson.
Are materials included?
Yes. Studio notes and online materials are provided as you progress, at no extra charge.
If I take an exam, do I need to buy books?
If you choose to sit an exam, please purchase the required official books yourself. Class materials are still provided as you go.
What about public holidays, red days, or weather?
We arrange case by case with your teacher.
Can I reschedule a lesson?
Each month we set the following month’s timetable in advance. One free reschedule is included per month.
