Advanced Guitar Teachers & Advanced Guitar Lessons

I am a profeesional guitar player and have been so for 20 years. A member of a succesful group and a current session player. I have taught for adult education centers, privately and worked in schools with children of all ages. A complete package of practical and theoretical approach to learning the guitar and reading music/tab...

theoretical background makes all styles of music easier to grasp and understand. I also combine a subtle use of coaching to focus on exact pupil needs, as well as creating a relaxed atmosphere. Specific areas covered in detail are: Technique - Covering all aspects of left/right hand playing Sound - Amplification/effects and use of 'tone' Performance - Nerves and coping techniques Theory - Chord and scale knowledge Improvisation - Ways to unlock this useful skill...

I also teach singing and performance skills to build people's confidence. However, I must stress that I prefer not to teach young children. Whatever your ability, I will make a tailored programme to fit you. Usually a lesson would be about an hour. I generally prefer to arrange lessons according to your (and my) availablity, so there is no set "course" of lessons. I will often make a video of the lesson which I can...

recorded an Ep, album and toured in the UK in 2011. In September 2011 I moved to London to further my music studies at Middlesex University. I graduated with a second honours degree in 2014. I have started teaching privately when I moved to Leeds in 2008. After graduating from Middlesex University I combine the teaching with performance. My work is to guide my students to reach their goals and make them be able to...

majority of musical genres, writing also in rock/metal/pop inspired bands I regularly perform with. I started teaching privately in my last year of University and have been gaining students ever since. The idea is to make it a large part of my career as I've found it to be equally as rewarding if not more so to performing. My approach is to focus on what the student wants and needs to know, regardless of how...

music incorporates both the tried and tested methods and some more alternative methods. I believe that playing music is first and foremost about having fun. I don't feel that learning an instrument should always be about spending hours practicing one note at a time scales or studying theory books, because playing music should be a hobby, not a chore. The appreciation for theory and technique will come to the player naturally in their own time...

works best. I have had students travel to me from Dorset so I must have got something right. I could still cater for those unable to travel within a reasonable distance at cost. I joined the Registry of Guitar Teachers about 10 years in order to formalize my business and to gain the advantages that being part of a global organisation brings. Each lesson is geared to the student and their needs and musical preferences....

the summer of 2012. I will be performing a half hour set with songs from this album in April and May around central Scotland . In 2013 I will be playing a solo acoustic gig in St Petersburg, Russia I have over 9 years teaching experience and I taught at Nomadbeat Music School in Peebles for 3 years. My approach to guitar lessons is relaxed and informal. Lesson topics are normally related to your own...

of informal foundation theory to give them an understanding of how music works. Typically, the kind of study pieces I choose to work on would include a mix of songs and instrumentals, offering the widest possible scope of tunes from the Beartles, James Taylor and Led Zeppelin to Coldplay, Killers and Jack Johnson! I don't teach music for grades or exams - I just aim to pass on the joy of playing combined with the...
