Guitar Lessons Altrincham

My Experience as a Teacher

Over the years I have been fortunate to have a career as a professional guitarist performing alongside and supporting artists from all over the country. My knowledge comes from a wide mixture of previously running a very successful underground live music venue in Manchester, recording and shooting videos for bands through my production label, performing for a large number of acts across the UK/Europe and more recently getting my own workshop repairing and building custom guitars.

I love using my knowledge, experience and patience to facilitate and encourage others to realise their own potential and musical abilities. Learning music can sometimes be a rather difficult and daunting task so I am here to make sure you are motivated and driven to overcome the challenges that we all face when learning a new instrument.

I am also a fully qualified teacher who has a Distinction in HND Music Performance, First Honours Degree in Popular Music and Recording, Toured with a wide variety of artists, opening for Toploader and Jurassic 5, Stage managed for Wu Tang and was hand picked for Classic Rock’s special Blues edition sample CD featured among artists such as Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout and Gary Clark Jr.

More About My Lessons

Rather than teaching my students a song by learning note by note from a page, I try to encourage my students to explore music in a more free and personal way. This holistic teaching approach allows the individual to progress in a more creative manner, and this will help them discover their own sound and will result in a more original outcome in the end.

Most of my students tend to take a one hour lesson with me each week and I find that this is usually the best way to gain momentum and to see steady and consistent development each week. I would tend to recommend that younger students take half an hour lessons as this helps to keep their interest throughout the course of the lessons. Together we can help you become the guitar player you have always wanted to be.

I feel confident in playing and in teaching any style of guitar, from beginner to advanced level, and have experience of working with a very wide age group. You are never too young or too old to learn the guitar. To book your first lesson or simply find out more about my guitar lessons don't hesitate to get in touch and we can get the ball rolling and on your way to being the best guitarist you can be.
