Whether you're a complete beginner or someone looking to refine their skills, I provide lessons that are tailored to your aspirations. Here's a look at some of the genres you can explore:

Rock and Blues

If you've always dreamed of channeling your inner rock star, my guitar music lessons will help you tackle the electrifying world of rock and blues. From classic riffs to soulful solos, I teach techniques that define the genre. Many students find this style both exciting and rewarding to learn, and it’s one of my personal favourites to teach.

Classical and Fingerstyle

For those who wish to master the elegance of classical guitar or the intricate art of fingerstyle playing, my guitar tuition offers a structured approach to these timeless styles. Whether performing solo pieces or exploring compositions by famous musicians, this genre broadens your musicality in a fulfilling way.

Pop and Acoustic

Acoustic guitar is fantastic for strumming along to popular songs and perfect for accompanying your voice if you're a singer. With my help, students can learn to play pop hits, rhythmic patterns, and even write their own songs. This style is great for both free expression and casual jamming.

Jazz is an intricate and rewarding genre to learn on the guitar. For those who are eager to explore improvisation, harmonics, and complex chord structures, I provide a professional yet approachable way to help you unlock the beauty of jazz.

Unique Mixes and Bass Guitar

If you’re into exploring unconventional styles or even blending genres, I encourage creativity and experimentation in my lessons. Additionally, I also teach bass guitar, allowing students to step into the groove-heavy role of bass musicians. My bass tutors background helps ensure a well-rounded approach if you'd like to add bass to your skills.

Regardless of the genre you choose, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. With individualised lessons and focused attention, we can build your confidence, skills, and love for music.

Acoustic Guitar vs Electric Guitar

When it comes to choosing between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, it really depends on your goals, preferences, and where you are in your musical journey. Both are fantastic instruments, but they serve slightly different purposes, and as one of your guitar teachers, I’m here to break it down for you.

Acoustic Guitar

The acoustic guitar is an excellent choice for complete beginners and those who love the warm, natural tone it offers. It doesn’t require any additional equipment—just pick it up and play! Many guitar music students I’ve worked with appreciate its simplicity and the instant feedback it provides. Whether you’re strumming chords or picking melodies, the acoustic guitar teaches you fundamental skills that transfer easily to other types of guitars. I always encourage beginners to start with an acoustic if they’re looking for a straightforward way to learn and develop finger strength.

Electric Guitar

The electric guitar, on the other hand, opens up a world of endless tonal possibilities. It’s perfect for music students who are interested in exploring genres like rock, blues, jazz, or even metal. With an electric guitar, you’ll need an amplifier to get started, but this setup allows for a range of sounds and effects that can really inspire creativity. Over the years, I’ve seen many guitar tutors, including myself, guide students who want to experiment with this dynamic and versatile instrument. Electric guitars often have lighter strings and a slimmer neck, which can be more comfortable for beginners to handle.

Which Should You Choose?

If you’re a beginner and not sure where to start, I recommend asking yourself what kind of music you’re most passionate about playing. For those working with guitar tutors like me, we can explore both options and find what fits best for you. Remember, there’s no wrong answer—you can always learn both and expand your skills as you grow as a musician. Either way, you’ll be growing your confidence and tapping into the joy of making your own guitar music.
