What should be covered in private guitar lessons?

Came across this on a website from somebody selling guitar lessons.

“Some things we’ll get into:

  • All 5 chord shapes and how to outline them
  • The 4 “Sounds” Major, Minor, Major 7, and Dominant 7
  • Triads and hearing the 1-3-5
  • Connecting chords, arpeggios, and scales
  • How chords and triads are directly related to LEAD guitar playing
  • Improvising, phrasing, and creating your own melodies”

What should be included in private lessons to help a student become good to great on the guitar?
 
Just buy Rick Beato's bundle for $89. This is the best thing I've seen because you need to teach yourself to learn.
