Welcome to
My name is Ben & I'm a professional guitar player and teacher offering lessons all over Brixton.
Above all else, I think that to learn an instrument you have to enjoy it. My lessons are built around my students and the music they enjoy.
We will always learn in a direction that works for you. Together we will learn everything from song work to technique & theory in easy to manage chunks for you to practice at home.

I offer acoustic and electric guitar lessons, covering a wide range of genres including Rock, Pop, Blues, Funk, Soul & Folk. We will learn the music that you enjoy and we can expand upon & learn others if you like.
I will also make sure you have a solid understanding of music theory, as it is helpful to have an understanding of how music works. I will make sure the music we learn is the music you enjoy listening to, as learning familiar music is a great and enjoyable way to improve your playing quickly.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I have experience in teaching students of all abilities and welcome both beginner and advanced students to take my guitar lessons.
I have been a professional musician for over 15 years, having worked both nationally and internationally with artists across a range of contemporary genres. I have recorded in some of the UK's best studios, such as Metropolis Studios and Universal Studios, plus I have performed in some of the best venues in London including the 02 academy Shepherds Bush and Camden Roundhouse to name a couple.
I currently hold a Bachelors degree from the BIMM Institute in London as well as a Masters degree in Music and Sonic Media, where I excelled in composition for multi-media and sound design. Outside of performance, I compose for a variety of different multimedia streams such as podcasts, TV, film and documentaries.
As a guitar teacher, I have been active for over 10 years, working with students from all over the world to help them achieve their guitar playing goals, be it learning songs, theory, soloing or exams, I can help you.
I will build my lessons around you. Together we will decide what direction you want to learn in and what you want to achieve as well as how we are going to get there. We will learn together until we get there.
My guitar lessons are always taken from your own home which means that you can learn in comfortable surroundings. This is one of the key aspects of improving your playing rapidly.
During our lessons we will learn the songs that you love & learn in a direction that you want to. If you love rock then that's what we will learn, or if you love jazz then that's what we will go for. I'm experienced in teaching all ages of learner as well as students of all ability levels.
