I have been a professional guitar teacher, head of guitar, and music school director for more than 20 years. My school, Cherry Pie Music in Wimbledon, is an award winning music school that has seen thousands of students since 2016, teaching adults and children through graded exams, learning for fun/ hobby, professional auditions, and music scholarships. We are also an official exam centre for ABRSM exams, as well as being awarded 'Champion Centre' status by Rockschool (RSL). I am a fully trined RSL examiner, and my own students have gone onto to study at institutions such as the Brit School, Berklee College of Music, and won scholarships to secondary schools. Some have even gone on to be in West End shows (School of Rock) and be members of very successful signed bands. I attended the original 'Guitar Institute' back in 1995 and was taught by the likes of Dave Kilminster (Roger Waters Pink Floyd) and guitar columnist Shawn Baxter. I have studied jazz under Charles Alexander (founder of Jazzwise magazine), as well as flamenco guitar under Emilio Maya. I have had hundreds of exam candidates pass exams across all exam boards, and love to teach adults and children alike.

Hi! My name is Ben. I have been playing for over 20 years and have taught for about 15. I have loads of experience playing live in some of the top venues in the UK including Brixton Academy, Shepherds Bush Empire, Birmingham NEC, Manchester Academy, The Kentish Town Forum, Glasgow SEC, Edinburgh SECC. I also have played at Download Festival and Reading Festival. My style of teaching is laid back, starting with a few songs and then if they want, moving on to grades or harder ideas. I teach from beginner up to Grade 8 and beyond. I studied at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) so I’m comfortable with a wide range of styles. It’s worth noting, if you are interested in Jazz or Classical guitar I probably am not your best bet. I also can help a lot with songwriting, I’m an active songwriter so I really enjoy the creative process as well. if you are interested in group tuition, let me know. I will look at renting a space. I will be setting up grade specific groups to help students learn in a different environment which would be useful for some. If you have any questions feel free to reach out and ask!

My name is Andy. I am a guitarist with fifteen years experience of gigging and performance, and a passion for helping people find their way into music with accessible, and enjoyable beginner lessons. What artist first made you first want to pick up the guitar? Which song do you day dream about playing? Some students find the pressure, and structure of exams and grades helpful and motivating - and some don't! All students learn differently, and my lessons will reflect those unique needs. What drives my lessons is an understanding of where the students find their joy in music - what got them interested? What are their passions? Rooting their learning in their own enjoyment of art creates the best musicians, and the best artists. As a musician myself I have performed in live bands for fifteen years. I am currently on tour as lead guitarist for Gemma Rogers band. In 2023 alone we played five shows at Glastonbury, supported Paulo Nutini at the Brighton Festival Series, played Secret Garden Party, and Minifest in Barcelona, as well as sold out London Headline shows at The Courtyard, and the Lexington. Alongside this, I play bass guitar for The Steady Letters - a indie punk group, and CaptainCaptain, a London based function band playing venues around Clapham and Wandsworth, as well as acoustic guitar for The Double Covers, a function duo playing acoustic blues and soul. This professional experience takes my lessons beyond the musical instruction, and allows me to offer an insight into the life of a touring musician. Whether for school, exams, or just for the simple, cathartic joy of it; I offer a professional, fun, and educational service, with music at it’s heart.

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.
