Lesson Info
Overview
I teach electric and acoustic guitar from beginners to advanced.
Lessons are tailored toward pupils' individual needs; whether you aspire to become a professional guitarist or want to play as a hobby I can teach you the skills and knowledge required.
Pupils can sit graded exams (see below for more info) or just learn for fun.

SONGS
I have an extensive, range of recognizable songs that pupils can learn. I'm also happy to transcribe and notate any particular songs that pupils would like to do.
Example beginners songs:

THEORY
-
NOTATION READING
-
GENERAL THEORY FOR THE GUITAR: chord construction, key signatures, notes on the fretboard etc...
I usually teach child pupils both standard notation (as well as tab) and general theory for the guitar. Adult pupils can learn them if they wish.
I welcome pupils who may already play but would like to learn more theory and to read notation.
