About

About	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.
