What we work on
Rock, blues and pop are where I live. I’ve spent over ten years performing in bands, gigging and recording, and that experience in the real world goes straight into your lessons. We work on the things that make these styles sing: timing and feel, rhythm and lead technique, bends and vibrato, and the chords and scales that hold it all together.
My aim is to help you move beyond simply learning songs to understanding the guitar as a tool for creativity, confidence and genuine musical expression, so you can improvise, write and make the music your own.
Support between lessons
Lessons include backing tracks, progress notes, homework, chord and fretboard diagrams, and tablature to support your practice between lessons.
Lessons in Enfield and North London
I teach in my home studio in Enfield and can travel to students across North London. Lessons are tailored to you, whether you are a complete beginner or a returning player.
Lessons are £30 for 30 minutes or £55 for an hour. Lessons of 45 minutes are also available; please ask for the price. Home visits cost an additional £10 within a reasonable distance. Include your area when you enquire so we can agree the arrangements before booking.
Starting with blues guitar
If blues is what brought you here, I’ve written a guide to learning blues guitar as a beginner, covering what to learn first and what actually makes it sound like blues rather than just the right notes.
