I have many years teaching experience, helping students of all learning abilities to rapidly learn the guitar.
If you are interested in taking guitar grades I teach the Rockschool and RGT syllabus and have a 100% pass rate on my students' exams.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginner and advanced students to learn the guitar with me in a wide variety of styles and genres.
I welcome beginners and young learners
Music, guitar and teaching are my passion. 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. When I'm not teaching I'm an active live musician I play in bands and get the privilege of travelling across the country playing for people.
I am able to offer guitar lessons on both electric and acoustic guitar. Covering a wide range of different musical genres, including rock, pop, jazz and many more.
For me, teaching is all about my own enjoyment for playing the guitar and wanting to share that with others. I like to keep the lessons relaxed and fun which helps keeps students enthused and driven to keep practising the instrument.
I offer tuition in a wide range of styles
All my lessons are relaxed, fun and informative, with tuition focused on the student. For younger students, I have developed courses of guitar lessons that are ideal for helping children as young as 6 learn to play the guitar. For adult guitarists, we will draw heavily on the musical styles you enjoy listening to as the core songs that we will learn.
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.
I can do home visits or you are welcome to come to my studio in Nottingham city centre. When I'm not teaching I'm an active live musician I play in bands and get the privilege of travelling across the country playing for people.
Music shops available in Nottingham
My guitar students often ask me where is the best guitar shop in Nottingham to buy their guitar equipment. Luckily for all guitarists in Nottingham, we have a range of stores that can cater to all your needs.
PMT, located at 2 Marco Island, Huntingdon Street, Nottingham, NG1 1AR is a fantastic store for almost all the guitar equipment that you need. Packed full of guitar equipment for students of all abilities - good range of acoustic & electric guitars.
Drum & Guitar, located on Cranbrook Street, Nottingham NG1 1ES, as a fantastic range of Fender and Squire guitars. It is great for beginner guitarists interested in picking up their first guitar...which inevitably will be a Squire!
The Music Inn, is a great option for those who want to pick up pre owned guitars, located on 28-34 Alfreton Road, Nottingham, NG7 3NG, is well worth visiting. This guitar store is ideal for intermediate or advanced guitarists looking to pick up a gem!
I'm a professional guitar player and teacher based in Nottingham who can help you supercharge your playing. I can help you improve all aspects of your playing and understanding of theory with my professional industry standard lessons for students of all ages in the Nottingham area.

My lessons are charged at £17 per half hour and £30 per hour for all of my students.
I teach the majority of my guitar students from a dedicated teaching studio, located on Wollaton Street in central Nottingham (NG1 5GE).
I have experience in teaching students of all ages & I offer my lessons to students of ages 6 and above. I find students under 6 are too young to understand how guitar works.
Weekly lessons are recommended for the best results but aren't essential. You're more than welcome to take lessons as and when you like.
If you cancel a lesson with less than 48 hours notice you will still be charged for the lesson.
Why wait, get in touch now and start learning to play the guitar today!
