I have been a professional guitarist for the last 40+ years. I started teaching after local guitarists kept knocking on my door and asking for playing tips and ideas. I lived in France for 20 years, in Paris and Bordeaux, and during that time worked with 5 No 1 artists, including Jackie Quartz, Guesch Patti and Ray Charles. I have a wealth of learning, playing, performing, writing, arranging and producing experience to share. I have been teaching and writing online since April 2020 and find this just as effective as face-to-face and certainly more convenient for students. I'm pleased to say that due to this, I now have students from all over the UK and Europe. And (a bit of a name drop), one of my past songwriting partners recently won the Grammy for song of the year writing with Ed Sheeran!! With more than 30 years teaching electric and acoustic guitar and creative workshops privately and in schools. I enjoy working with all levels from beginners to advanced and work with all styles except Classical and Flamenco. As a self-taught guitarist, I know how to get the best out of every student using my bespoke system and method that I have fine-tuned over the years. My qualifications are more than 40 years in the industry working as a studio and stage guitarist and 30 years teaching at all levels! I teach what you want to learn, at your pace and it's got to be fun!

Hi! I'm Dan, a multi-instrumentalist and musical director living near Epsom, Surrey. I have played guitar for over 20 years and have a degree in Music Performance from the ACM in Guildford. I have spent the last 10+ years teaching, touring and performing all over the world on cruise ships, in theatre shows and with my own bands. Learning an instrument is fantastically rewarding life-long skill that can help foster creativity, build confidence, and relieve stress and anxiety. Every lesson I teach is tailored to the student; grades, learning songs, writing, music theory - nothing is off limits! My personal passion is 40s, 50s and 60s music from swing and jazz to rock and roll and on to soul and motown. Those few decades were an explosion of music and creativity, and a lot of the ideas and approaches discovered back then still continue to shape the music we listen to today! Lessons are available both in-person and online. Online lessons can be arranged on a flexible schedule to suit you most any day of the week. In-person lessons are subject to very limited availability and available on a first come first serve basis.
