I attended a masterclass that Merel gave on ‘metal guitar’. I knew her Dear Mother music and the work she did with Delain and saw some playthroughs on YT. So of course I looked up to her, as I still do. Merel has toured the world, but also has the ability to share her knowledge and experience just as an enthusiastic guitarist. So being at the masterclass felt like being in a cosy living room with other guitar players and Merel showed us her view on some aspects of playing metal guitar.
Now, I am a prog rock guitarist who has lately got involved in some heavier prog metal musical adventures. This, of course, demands some other techniques that I never quite took the time to learn. Yes, I do have access to the internet, which is full of ‘howtoplayfasterthanlightningwithin5days’ videos, but those don’t seem to work for me, because there is no-one to track your development or notice that you are not moving your thumb along with the rest of your hand (…). So I asked Merel if she could help me with this. And that turns out wonderfully! Merel is very observant and points out ‘areas for improvement’ and blindspots that really help me improve. Even in first ‘introduction lesson’, where I explained my goals, Merel already pinpointed some habits that I needed to address. And yes, of course it is exciting to play for a ‘rock star’. But in the end, we are alle trying to get a bit better at something we all love to do. After the introduction lesson I signed up for the multi pack and Merel has definitely helped me make progress. And I intend to stick around a bit longer. We’re never quite done learning, are we?
So yes, I would surely and highly recommend Merel as a guitar teacher!

Had an intro lesson and it was great. She had attention to detail and could actually pick up mistakes that I was making. It also helps that she has great internet connection so there are no lags or break ups. I’m actually sad I have not been able to sign up for regular lessons but Merel really has a ‘teacher’ vibe that makes it really enjoyable.

De introductieles vond ik erg fijn. Even spannend van te voren hoe het zou gaan en werken. En of ik met mijn kennis wel les kon krijgen van iemand die gewoon in mijn favo band had gespeeld. Maar Merel stelde mij gerust en we keken naar wat ik kon en wilde gaan leren (verjaardagsliedjes spelen in de klas zonder constant op mijn blaadje met akkoorden te kijken). De les via Skype ging super gemakkelijk en ik leerde meteen al veel bij deze eerste les.

Had introduction lesson 6 weeks ago. Merel took the time to see where I was at my guitar playing level and what I could do to get better at it. She is patient and can explain things really good. I thought it would be little difficult because of Skype, but its not. She can see what I do wrong and could do better and explains it very good and give exercises to do for the next week (after introduction I took extra lessons, once a week).
Would advice anyone to take lessons from Merel, its awesome 🙂

The Skype lesson was excellent!! It was definitely inspired and motivated by the end of the class. She pointed me where I should go next in order to take the next step with my playing, and thanks to that I have discovered a whole new perspective in terms of theory. I will definitely schedule a second lesson soon enough.
