Guitar Improv Lesson

For guitar teachers and students. What a good (successful) guitar lesson involve?
I have studied under various "masters" and am looking to get the other how to play (rhythm, improvisation, keeping time, etc.). For a successful lesson beginner guitar, which I teach first? How about in between? Advanced?
I agree with the previous replies - keep it fun. For starters, I would start with a few simple melodies (single string, then maybe in two strings, etc.), and some chords simplified. If you can get them to do just a couple of 4-strings (string style ukulele!), then you can start to worry about opening chord fullest. emphasize note reading, or at least a note of appointment. If you making single string melodies, make sure they know the names of the notes that are playing. You do not have to introduce the notation immediately to an absolute beginner, but they should definitely know the names of the notes that are playing ... instead of "sequence of 1, 3 fret. This way they can communicate with other musicians ... While you are teaching, they strive for a balance between the teaching of the fingers and teach the brain. And not so much with the music as real as possible. Assignments transcription, etc. They learn a range more effective if they can use it in a soil that is just a useless standard grades. As students have more advanced they need more technical, but just one point. If you receive a student who is really advanced, then it makes little sense to sit around trading licks. Get them to do some more creative things, like reharmonizing existing music, etc. Teach them a bit of jazz theory, so they can deal with the substitutions chords, modal improvisation, etc. Good luck!
