Lessons Tailored To You
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, all the way back to Cagliari, Italy, where I was born and raised. During these formative years, alongside studying classical guitar, private tuition in jazz guitar particularly fuelled my passion for modern styles, with the music of Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Led Zeppelin, and Pat Metheny providing a window to the fascinating world of rock, jazz, and blues.

Learning to Fine-tune Your Guitar Playing
Techniques You Can Expect to Learn
In my guitar lessons in Harringay, I cover a wide range of techniques that are essential for mastering the instrument. Here’s a glimpse into what you can expect:
Chord Progressions and Strumming Patterns
Understanding chord progressions is fundamental for any guitarist. I teach various chord shapes and work with you to navigate through different progressions seamlessly. We'll practice both basic and advanced strumming patterns, helping you adapt them to genres like pop, rock, and folk.
Fingerpicking and Plucking Styles
Fingerpicking is a technique that adds depth and texture to your playing. You'll learn various fingerpicking patterns and how to apply them to latin american guitar pieces, as well as other styles. This technique is especially useful for those interested in folk or acoustic music.
Scales and Improvisation
Scales form the backbone of many musical genres. During our lessons, you'll learn major, minor, and pentatonic scales, among others, which will serve as the foundation for improvisation. Whether you're into jazz, blues, or rock, improvisation skills will enable you to express yourself freely on the instrument.
Rhythm and Timing
Rhythm is crucial in every style of music. I use metronomes and backing tracks to help you develop a keen sense of timing. This skill is vital for genres ranging from funk to heavy metal, ensuring that your playing is always in sync.
Advanced Techniques
For advanced students, I offer lessons in techniques like sweep picking, tapping, and harmonics. These techniques are essential for those wishing to explore genres like progressive rock and metal. My goal is to make sure advanced learners continue to challenge themselves and grow.
Music Theory and Application
A good understanding of music theory helps decode the structure of the songs you play. We delve into topics like chord construction, key signatures, and harmony, which are applicable across all genres. Knowing theory not only enhances your playing but also makes it easier to compose your own music.
