your students need to learn a song

A question for you teachers


A new student signs up and says I play some guitar but I can't play songs and my interest is mostly getting to play songs and want to know why the song is composed the way it is. How would you structure your classes with such a student?

Thank you.

And yeah, Rikki Rooksby is pretty good. All of his books tend to devolve into "Basic Harmony for Rock Musicians", but that is a useful book to have.
