23-year-old performer and guitar teacher with over 10 years experience and a degree from the University of Westminster in music performance and BTEC level 3 Extended diploma is music with a triple distinction. I valve myself as being a very patient and understanding person when it comes to teaching the guitar, my lessons are always a comfortable friendly environment where my only goal is to make you the best player you can be. Guitar has been my passion for as long as I can remember and my aim as a teacher is to instil this passion into my students. I feel that learning the guitar is not just about knowing chords, scales and passing grades, but knowing how to use these skills to write songs, create melodies, having a great guitar tone and playing killer solos by yourself, in a band or with Friends. I have extensive performing experience in a wide range of different genres and I am more than happy to personalise your guitar learning experience with these things in mind. I also cover string changing, guitar maintenance tips and showing you a vast array of musicians that you can draw experience from to help your playing. I would encourage enquiries of all standards even if you have never picked up a guitar before. If you require any further information please get in touch via phone or email, my schedule is open for bookings currently and I am more than happy to chat with you regarding lessons.

I've been playing the guitar for over 20 years, in both live and studio settings. I mostly play folk and fingerstyle acoustic guitar at the moment, but I've previously played bass and lead electric guitar for multiple rock and/or indie bands. I'm available to teach online or in person from my practice space in Langport, Somerset. I have a distinction in Grade 8 Acoustic Guitar, an Enhanced DBS Check (kept up to date with the DBS Update Service), a first-class BSc (Hons) in Sound Technology, and a 120-hour teaching qualification. I'm passionate about sharing my guitar skills and knowledge with as many new players as I can, so don't hesitate to get in touch.
Hello my name is William, I'm a guitarist and a sound engineer from Paris based in Glastonbury, and i can propose guitar lessons, electric and acoustic, and bass. Beginners are welcome 🙂. A bit of my background: I started to listen to rock music at a very young age, bands such as the rolling stones, the beatles, led zeppelin and deep purple and i began studying the guitar at 11. I then quickly tried to play in bands as much as possible, covering some classic rock with some friends in my town in Paris suburb. I played in quite a few bands in my 20s. In my late 20s i was working in a record shop in Paris which opened me a lot to different genres, which made me decide to go to the american school of modern music to study Jazz music and harmony in Paris for 2 years. I moved to Glastonbury from Paris 5 years ago and i play in a band in Glastonbury, and perform in the area. About my lessons: I adapt my lessons and the teaching to what my students want to learn, more theory oriented or less according to the person. You can propose me a couple of songs that we can study, so it s about the genre and the guitar styles you want to develop. I make sure the learning process is playful and always take time to explain forthcoming bits of complexity to overcome when they occur. I try to get beginners to manage playing a whole song as soon as possible and get into improvisation too As well, I can help you build and develop your technique as well as your own style. Best regards. Will

Guitar lessons: what to expect
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.
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.
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 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.
