Guitar Lessons in a Relaxed Environment

I offer personalized guitar lessons for students of all ages and skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced players. With a BA (hons) Music degree and a graduate of the Musicians Institute, London, I can help you achieve your guitar goals in a variety of styles.

Lessons and Studio

My teaching studio in Arnos Vale, Bristol is well-equipped with a range of instruments, computer-based learning tools, and recording equipment. I welcome students of all ages, including young children, and specialize in electric and acoustic guitar lessons.

Teaching Styles and Genres

I teach various genres, including rock, pop, folk, jazz, and blues, but I'm also happy to help you explore your specific interests. My lessons cater to all levels, from basic strumming to advanced theory.

Music Theory and Song-writing

I specialize in guitar-specific music theory, which is essential for song-writing, improvisation, and increasing your theoretical understanding of music. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, I can help you develop the skills and confidence to continue learning on your own.

Beginner-Friendly Lessons

As an experienced teacher, I've worked with many beginners and helped them progress from their first chords to becoming competent and well-rounded players. My goal is to give you the tools and confidence to continue learning and improving on your own.
