About

Hello! I’m a guitarist & guitar teacher based in Ruislip, NW London. I have been playing guitar over 30 years & teaching for the last 16 years. I have worked with signed bands, played UK & European tours and had music used for television & film, as well as doing commercial music & session work. In my earlier years I studied with Andy Bray (pre Brighton Institute of Modern Music), composer Barrie Gledden and jazz guitarist Merv Young.

I teach 1:1 tuition in contemporary 6 & 7 string electric guitar and acoustic guitar, from complete beginners through to advanced.

Lessons are fun and friendly, and are structured to meet the individual’s needs as well as offering a comprehensive teaching syllabus from beginners to advanced, with a view to you becoming a versatile & well-rounded guitarist with the knowledge & ability to create your own style & sound. I also have stacks of ideas, lessons & exercises to help you out of creative ruts or to overcome any technique hurdles, or simply learn the songs you’ve always wanted to play, whilst helping you understand the theory & techniques behind them.

I also offer tuition for Rockschool & RGT exams in electric & acoustic guitar to help you gain an internationally recognised qualification in guitar playing.

Lessons are available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays on a weekly or fortnightly, or ad-hoc basis. Visit my website for info!
