This might seem like an obvious statement but I have witnessed on many occasions teachers who make form good friendships with their students yet they fail to get results. It is easy to get off track in a lesson an find yourself talking about unrelated subjects. It's also possible to over look the fact that your students are not practicing enough. As teachers we justify it by believing that it's up to the student to do their guitar practice. The fact is when your students don't practice they fail which means you in turn have failed as a teacher. It's important to remember that your students are not paying you to be their friend. Friendship should always be an add on to good teaching and good teaching is measured in terms of results.
