my quitar teacher makes me nervous
A friend of mine offered to teach me how to play the guitar. He knows I don't have much money and because me and my friends are always helping him out with his business, he told me that he would teach me for free. At first he was really nice and was patient. But when I had my third lesson he YELLED at me and said "YOURE NOT LISTENING TO ME". This was because I told him I wanted to look at my quitar book to see how to play a cord instead of having him move my fingers with his. (this has made me uncomfortable). He is married and I think sometimes he tries to come on to me. He also can get really inpatient with me when I can't play cords right.
I really want to learn to play the quitar but he just makes me so nervous and I'm almost a little afraid of him. I'm only staying with him because of the money issue, and also it would hurt a lot of my friends if I quit because they say what a nice guy he is to teach me for free.
What should I do?

I think you should stay with him because its free. If you that uncomfortable with him, tell him if he can back off a little. hope i hellped =]

There are no 'q's in guitar. You know, if you have the instruction books, you CAN learn to play on your own.
If you are uncomfortable around him, you are hardly going to learn how to play, anyway.

Hi, I agree with missmoo. Something just seems out of place with this situation. It does not matter what your friends are saying because you know exactly what you are feeling. If ANYTHING makes you feel uncomfortable stop it immediately and consult an adult. Good luck

that just means he's not the type of person who makes a good teacher, few people are. just explain to him that him moving your fingers makes you feel uncomfortable and that you would rather use the book, he should understand. ask him not to yell if he does and explain that it only makes you more nervous and it doesn't help. basically, just try to help him teach you, maybe he can become a better teacher if he sees what the student needs.

Dear Uncomfortable,
Ok. The main thing here is that you are uncomfortable and that is what is important. Forget what your friends think about this person, they are not in your situation and being that they are your friends, they should understand. I recommend stopping your lessons. I know that you have money difficulties, a lot of people do; but it's not worth the chance at getting hurt over. You might want to confide in an adult, maybe a parent or teacher? Have someone come to your lessons with you. If your teacher is not comfortable with that, that is a sure sign that something is up. Please do not go to your lessons alone, or quit and figure something else out. Your safety is so important. Good luck and let me know!
