Adult guitar lessons

Adult guitar lessons in Enfield and North London for complete beginners and returning players. Relaxed, taught one to one and shaped around the music you actually want to play, with no exams unless you want them.

It’s never too late to start, and you’re not too rusty to come back. Adult lessons are relaxed and completely without pressure. Whether you’ve always wanted to learn or you played years ago and want to pick it up again, we work entirely around the music and goals that matter to you.

There are no exams unless you want them. We combine technique, creativity and real musical understanding so you can play with confidence and expression, rather than just copy songs note for note. Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes, in my home studio or at yours.

Common questions

How quickly will I be able to play a song?

Sooner than you’d think. Many students play a recognisable song or riff in their very first lesson. Lessons are built around making music straight away, so it never feels like a chore.

Do you teach complete beginners?

Absolutely. Beginners are a big part of what I do. I teach children from age 6 and adults, from those who’ve never held a guitar to returning players picking it back up.

What ages do you teach?

All ages. Children from age 6 right through to adults of any age. Lessons are always tailored to the individual student.

Do you prepare students for exams?

Yes. I prepare students for both Trinity Rock & Pop and RSL (Rockschool) guitar exams, up to Grade 8, which is the grade I hold myself. Exams are optional and we only enter when you’re ready.

How much do lessons cost?

Lessons are £55 for an hour and £30 for 30 minutes. Lessons of 45 minutes are also available; please ask for the price. Home visits cost an additional £10 within a reasonable distance; please confirm your area before booking. I am not VAT registered, so no VAT is added. Payment is by bank transfer, and I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or rearrange a lesson.

Where do lessons take place?

At my home studio in Enfield Town, about a 10-minute walk from Enfield Town station. There is on-street parking on the road opposite; please check local signs for restrictions or charges. I also travel to students in Enfield, Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Palmers Green and nearby areas. Home visits cost an additional £10 within a reasonable distance; include your area when you enquire so we can agree the arrangements before booking. Lessons are by appointment.

What styles do you teach?

Mainly rock, blues and pop, plus the technique and music theory underneath them. Having performed in bands for over ten years, I teach these styles from real playing experience.

What’s included with lessons?

Backing tracks, progress notes, homework, chord and fretboard diagrams, and tablature. These give you what you need to make the most of your practice between lessons.

Do I need my own guitar?

Ideally yes, so you can practise at home between lessons. That’s where the real progress happens. If you’re not sure what to buy, I’m happy to advise on a suitable first guitar before you spend anything.
