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!!
