I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years, learning under some of the UK’s finest musicians. Now, I’m passionate about passing on the knowledge and experience that’s kept me hooked on music for so long.
Every student receives a fully personalised lesson plan, focused on the styles of learning that genuinely connect and motivate. I know how easy it is to lose focus when you’re bombarded with material that doesn’t resonate — I’ve been there myself. My approach is all about keeping that spark alive. The best teachers don’t just lead the way — they hand you the keys and let you take the wheel.
What I Teach
Acoustic Guitar:
Develop control, tone, and rhythmic confidence across a range of genres. Perfect for solo playing, strumming, fingerstyle, or accompanying vocals.
Classical Guitar:
Focus on proper technique, posture, and fingerpicking discipline. Ideal for those with long-term goals, aiming for precision, repertoire building, or graded exams.
Electric Guitar:
Unlock the expressive power of electric guitar. From tight rhythm chops to soaring lead work, we’ll explore tone, technique, and how to shape your own unique sound.
Music Theory & Ear Training:
Build a strong foundation that helps you understand what you’re playing – not just how. Learn to recognise chords, scales, and progressions by ear.
Songwriting & Composition:
Turn your ideas into finished songs. Learn how to build chord progressions, write catchy melodies, and arrangement tips for either yourself or a band.
Improvisation & Chord Progressions:
Develop the freedom to jam, write, and perform with confidence. We’ll cover common progressions, modes, and techniques that will unlock your creativity across the fretboard.
