I have been performing in a rock band under various names since I was 14 and this is something I still do to this day. I am also a guitarist for hire and am capable of performing weddings, funerals, events, restaurants, fundraisers, functions and music shows of any sorts including for recording as a session player and as a recording artist.

I have a full DBS and deliver music and instrument lessons to a variety of ages of children from small to large groups. For students studying their GCSE, A-Level and Undergraduate Degree course in Music, I can provide tuition assistance to help strengthen and test students knowledge of their course material and give them a stronger understanding in order to help them prepare for exams. These lessons are priced equally to Music Theory lessons. My entire young life has been centred around music and to make it my full-time job is a dream come true.

Hey! I’m Josh. I’m a passionate musician who has been playing guitar for 15 years. I have been performing every week for 8 years playing hundreds of different songs.

I would love to be a part of your journey learning music!

We teach one to one private lessons specialising in Guitar, Singing, Bass, Music Theory, Songwriting and Composition. Professional and Experienced also teaching as a Peripatetic Tutor here there and everywhere." Here’s a quick biography; should you wish to find out more please visit my website: I started playing guitar at the age of fourteen and had lessons during which I studied RockSchool and Classical guitar. In College, at the age of sixteen I took up singing; taking lessons and studying material out of books and online videos. The most notable resources used were the ‘Raise Your Voice’ books by Jaime Vendera and online videos from Justin Stoney of New York Vocal Coaching, as well as other various books on vocal anatomy. I have Grades, a National Diploma, a HNC and I’ve studied a BA Honours in Music at the University of Salford. I play Rock, Jazz, Classical and Pop in their broadest terms as my main styles, and have been a member of several bands playing and singing all of these various styles. I’ve performed at both serious gigs and ones for fun; whilst touring extensively around the U.K. - my own music could be said to have all these influences infused with a few more. I’m currently travelling around the North West playing acoustically, mainly singing covers with the backing of two separate agencies. I am also a professional Music Teacher, in a professional Music School and also privately with my own client-base. I specialise in guitar, voice and bass guitar. I also teach classes on music theory, songwriting and composition. I teach all the styles mentioned previously, as well as many more! My teaching work became notably successful in early 2013 when as I was asked to become a regular tutor at the best Music School in the NorthWest. I also teach as a peripatetic instrumental teacher. From the above, you wouldn't be wrong in thinking that I’m a huge nerd when it comes to music…! I teach a wide range of musical styles in a professional manner, with in-depth knowledge and experience gained through years of studying, teaching and playing the music live. I teach what students want to know and grades are an option if they would like acknowledgement of their achievements. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a University-level student, I can teach anyone and everyone who wants to learn! Here is a short list of the things I typically teach throughout each instrument and style: - Techniques - Songwriting - Music Theory - Composition (classical, jazz, you name it) - Orchestration - Style Application - Arranging - Live Performance - Sight Reading - Aural Perception - Music Production - ETC… Teaching also online via Zoom/Skype/FaceTime 100% pass rate Teaching in a relaxed studio environment A member of the AOTOS (Association of Teachers of Singing) Up to date DBS Fully insured by the Musicians Union Based in Liverpool

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.
Learn posture, tuning, chord changes, strumming patterns, and how to practise without building bad habits.
Build a steady sense of timing, expand chord vocabulary (including barre chords), and play full songs with confidence.
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.
Chord progressions, strumming feel, accompaniment patterns, and building a set of songs.
Riffs, power chords, pentatonic shapes, bends, vibrato, and solo phrasing.
Right-hand patterns, independence, tone control, and arranging songs for solo guitar.
Technique, repertoire, sight-reading or musicianship skills, and a clear practice plan.
