About Paul Collins

Hello, and thanks for checking out my profile!

I’m Paul, a fun and experienced guitar tutor from the United Kingdom, and I would love to teach you to play the guitar!

Whether you are beginner or advanced, I will structure my guitar lessons in accordance with your needs, and maintain a relaxing and friendly learning environment.

Together we can learn –

🎸 Parts of the guitar

🎸 Tunings of the strings

🎸 Notes on the fretboard

🎸 Chords, scales, modes and arpeggios

🎸 How to read chord diagrams, TAB notation and staff

🎸 Music theory

I can also teach you to play your favourite songs, as I believe it is important for you to recognize what you are learning.

So, if you are a new learner and are unsure of how to start playing, or a more competent guitarist who is stuck in a rut, please get in touch! I teach lessons to students at level between grade 1 and 8, and who are aged 16 or over.

I have been playing guitar for 34 years, and have built up a wealth of experience in teaching, performing and recording music. I have gigged in bands since 1998, taught guitar and music theory since 2005, and worked in guitar shops for 11 years. I have studied Music Technology, and I enjoy writing and mixing music, as well as recording guitar for other artists.

I am a member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors and a member of the Musicians Union.

Please message me for more info before booking your free trial class. Thanks for checking out my profile!
