Hello, my name is Chris and I’m a teaching professional based in Nottingham. I have years of experience and in my time I have taught one to one, in groups large and small and at schools and colleges. I teach all styles, ages and abilities. Each lesson is tailored to your needs. If you would like to go down a guitar grade route I teach the Rockschool and RGT syllabus and have a 100% pass rate on my students’ exams. I cover all aspects of learning from technique, theory, composition, improvisation, sight reading and more. Music, guitar and teaching are my passion and I always strive to make my lessons as enjoyable, interesting and tailored to individual needs as I can. I can do home visits or you are welcome to come to my studio in Nottingham city centre. When I’m not teaching guitar I’m an active live musician I play in bands and get the privilege of travelling across the country playing for people. Music Qualifications & Achievements: RGT Guitar Grade 8 and Associate Diploma with the London College of Music Playing to a few thousand people at gigs across the country, I still play live most weekends, it’s always an honour All my students who take exams have passed, never a fail and I’m incredibly proud of that

Marcela Tingle
GuitarTudor Ct, Hucknall, Nottingham NG15 6RU, UK3.4 km
£15.00

Hello, my name is Marcela and I am a patient and enthusiastic guitar (acoustic/electric) and ukulele tutor. I have taught guitar for three years, which includes individuals and small groups, both children and adults. We work on songs/pieces that you feel passionate about. Music theory, technique, scales, etc. happen as we work on THE SONGS. I believe that learning should be fun and making mistakes is a part of all learning. The lessons can be very flexible, depending on your needs. I provide all the materials for the lessons but we can use a handbook if you prefer. For online lessons, we can use an interactive platform to make the lesson time fun and efficient. You may want to learn guitar for enjoyment but if you are more technique and grades driven, please note that I’m most familiar with RGT exams (under London College of Music). Now, a few songs that are frequently requested by my students: Thunder by Imagine Dragons, Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen, Hello by Adele, Yellow Submarine by Beatles, Wonderwall by Oasis. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Music Qualifications & Achievements: RGT Grade 8 in acoustic guitar playing DipLCM (With Merit)

Hi there to all, my name is Jay and I’ve been teaching on and off for 5 years, in between my day job which is writing treatments for TV commercials. So I teach basic vocal training for beginners with a view to helping improve your gig smartness to get you to gig ready for playing with bands or playing solo, or to get you started to play at an open mic night if that’s your desire. I also teach basic guitar studies and songwriting, once again, with a view to getting you ready to find other musicians, get connected to help you along your musical journey as I can, if that’s your wish, i.e. accompany you at an open mic night gig etc. So please get in touch and let’s start your search to find your true voice. Music Qualifications & Achievements: Started gigging 1990, fronting my first band, toured the whole of England and Scotland and played every place in London we could possibly play for 3 years. I also recorded an album for E.M. I then sung live backing vocals for various artists in London between 1993 till 1996 whilst promoting my open mic nights of which I would accompany artists instrumentally with the cajon, guitar (acoustic and electric ), bass congas, harmonica and backing vocals. Joined a band playing bass for 2 years recorded a studio album, gigged extensively once more. Then joined my last band in 98 and released an album on Boy George’s label a year later, promoting the album at Leeds, reading new band stage ,which lead us to get a better deal with Clive Davis and J Records. Then I moved to L.A to complete the second album, and even though the band does not exist I still write with the singer of that said band to this day, who I work with on commercials i.e. treatments and composing music for TV commercials. In terms of musical qualifications, I’m self-taught but have a wealth of experience that I have acquired through my travels and have worked with artists from many different genres from folk, pop, rock, soul-funk, reggae jazz, punk and metal with whatever was asked of me at the time which I think gives me a unique insight in how to approach these styles from professional and informal situations. All in all my musical journey has really enriched my skill set and my life.

Rob Greco - Guitar teacher
Rob Greco
GuitarNottingham, UK7.0 km

Hi, I’m Rob Greco — guitarist, educator, and lifelong music enthusiast based right here in Nottingham. I founded Guitar Lessons Nottingham with one simple mission: to help people discover the joy of playing guitar, no matter their age or experience level. With over a decade of teaching and performing under my belt, I’ve worked with students from all walks of life — from total beginners picking up their first chord to advanced players refining their technique. My lessons are built around your goals, your style, and your pace. Whether you're into acoustic storytelling, electric solos, blues grooves, or indie riffs, I’ll help you find your sound and sharpen your skills. I believe learning guitar should be fun, challenging, and deeply rewarding. That’s why I focus on practical playing, musical creativity, and building confidence — not just theory and drills. My studio is a relaxed, supportive space where mistakes are part of the process and progress is always celebrated. So if you’re ready to start your guitar journey — or take it to the next level — I’d love to help you get there.

Guitar36 Kighill Lane ravenshead nottingham…9.3 km

I am a dedicated musician who's been in the industry for over 10 years now. I have been gigging since I was 10 years old and taking part in other aspects of music such as producing music and doing live sound engineering at the rescue rooms in nottingham. I have also done work with notable people such as Gary Powell of the Libertines plus many more. I have many key insights into how the industry works and what makes a good musician so i can be sure to pass on my knowledge and skills to help upcoming young musicians get to a high standard. As a musician myself I have also done grades in my instruments. I have my grade 8 vocals (Rockschool) and grade 6 guitar (Rockschool). Along side instrument specific qualifications I have a level 3 diploma in music performance in which I achieved a triple distinction star (D*D*D*) and a 9 in my music GCSE. All in all, this means I teach to a high standard with lessons tailored to each individual student. I focus on what you want to achieve whether that is grades or a specific goal I am here to guide you towards those goals. I can also give you a hefty amount of advice going into the industry (if you're choosing music as a career path) along side performance techniques, production, songwriting and any help with school/college work. My goal is to help the next generation of musicians to have the skill, confidence and technique to enter the creative world while also having a lot of fun during lessons.

Guitar lessons: what to expect

Guitar lessons near you

The best guitar lessons near you aren’t just about distance — they’re about a teacher who helps you progress with clarity. Search by location to find in-person guitar lessons, or choose online lessons to access specialist teachers for acoustic, electric, fingerstyle, rock, or grades.

Who guitar lessons are for

Guitar lessons work for complete beginners, intermediate players, and advanced students. Lessons can be tailored for children, teenagers, or adults returning to guitar — with a focus on the styles and songs you actually want to play.

What you’ll learn in guitar lessons

Most students work on chord fluency, rhythm, strumming feel, scales, finger placement, and repertoire. A good teacher will also structure your practice so you build confidence and technique without getting stuck.

Online vs in-person guitar lessons

Online guitar lessons can be highly effective, especially for busy schedules and specialist tuition. In-person lessons can feel more hands-on and are great if you prefer local support and face-to-face feedback.

A simple learning path for guitar

A good teacher will tailor lessons to your goals — but here’s what progress often looks like.

Weeks 1–4: Foundations
1

Learn posture, tuning, chord changes, strumming patterns, and how to practise without building bad habits.

Months 2–3: Songs & rhythm
2

Build a steady sense of timing, expand chord vocabulary (including barre chords), and play full songs with confidence.

Months 3–6: Technique & style
3

Develop picking, fingerstyle, lead basics, improvisation foundations, or exam preparation — depending on your goals.

Getting started: what you need

Keep it simple at first — your teacher can help you choose the right setup.

  • Acoustic vs electric: your teacher can recommend what fits your music taste and comfort.
  • A tuner + a few picks is enough to start — then add a capo or strap as you progress.
  • A simple practice routine beats long sessions: aim for consistency, not intensity.

Styles & goals your teacher can support

Choose a direction — lessons can be tailored around what you actually want to play.

Acoustic singer-songwriter
Popular

Chord progressions, strumming feel, accompaniment patterns, and building a set of songs.

Rock / lead guitar
Popular

Riffs, power chords, pentatonic shapes, bends, vibrato, and solo phrasing.

Fingerstyle
Popular

Right-hand patterns, independence, tone control, and arranging songs for solo guitar.

Grades / structured progression
Popular

Technique, repertoire, sight-reading or musicianship skills, and a clear practice plan.
