Lessons and Services


Lessons are tailored for the individual and covers all skill levels in most styles of music. I have developed a set of foundations lessons that runs through all the must know skills and theory that every guitarist should have in there tool box. Even with the first three chords for a beginner you will be playing songs and putting your new skills to practical use. I will get you playing fast and give you the skills to jam and improvise in any situation.
​We will also cover all the must know guitar maintenance and adjustments and get your guitar however cheap or expensive playing great

My approach to teaching guitar

My aim is to give you all the skills to learn and enjoy the guitar by yourself. It could be that you want to play Metal, Old Classics or Bluegrass. With the skills you learn it is up to you where you take it. I  focus on teaching you how to jam and improvise rather than spending long periods learning songs note by note.

Fretboard Theory

A bit of theory goes a long way. I will introduce theory only when it is needed and always keep it relevant for the guitar. Doing it this way keeps it fun and stops the student getting overwhelmed at the beginning. Many great players say they don't know theory but when you play with them they have picked up a lot without realising. I will give you all the essentials so you can play with anyone.

Guitar Maintenance

Picture
Not only can you learn how to play guitar but I think equally important i can teach you how to look after and maintain your guitar. I will teach you how to properly restring, adjust and setup your guitar. If you desire we can even dive into the world of guitar repair.
