Isabel Lysell

I am a music-obsessed guitar player and a self-produced artist.

I fell in love with the guitar after discovering a 12 bar blues as a kid during an acoustic guitar lesson. I have studied music and guitar for 12 years, and as soon as I graduated from university I started teaching it myself.

I now have over 10 years of experience having taught all ages and levels. I can confidently teach any contemporary genre, music theory and music production in Logic Pro X. For several years I was doing guitar and songwriting workshops at summer rock camps for both teenagers and adults. I have taught many beginners with no experience and watched them go from struggling with their first open chords to getting ready to perform at their local jam night.

I love teaching, it feels like a very natural thing to do, sharing the knowledge I’ve learned and the tricks I’ve picked up along the way.

Music Qualifications & Achievements:

I am a professional guitar player, composer and artist with a Bachelors degree in Popular Music Performance.

I have plenty of experience as a live musician, having performed as a session guitarist most notably for Rachel K Collier and Kate Nash.

I have also performed with various function bands for the past 12 years. With my now defunct band, I co-wrote and released two songs with Brian May of Queen in 2020.

At the end of 2020, I released my debut EP as an artist that I wrote myself and co-produced with the music library Tubesounds.

I have had syncs in TV shows such as Emmerdale and Home and Away.
