I have been playing the guitar for over 20 years, and teaching guitar for more than 10 years. I started playing the guitar as a youngster trying to copy my favourite guitarists, Slash and Jimi Hendrix. In my later teen years, I became a long-haired metal head and went to study at the Institute of Contemporary Music in London, where I achieved a merit in the Diploma in Popular Music Performance course. This experience enabled me to expand my repertoire extensively. I have subsequently completed a CTLLS course in teaching which has enabled me to learn a lot about how to be a good teacher.

Music Qualifications & Achievements:
