My Lessons are structured around the needs of the student with the aim of learning to play the types of music they like., So there is no need to be worried or nervous when you come to your first lesson, All you need is an instrument and a love of music. There is a minimum of theory, rather the students learn the chords and strings they need to be able to play specific tracks, this way they can quickly play a tune rather than a number of unrelated chords or notes. Later they can transfer the skills gained to other tracks or artists and play by ear rather than reading music.

I normally use guitar tab to enable students to learn chords and fingering as it does not require them to read or understand musical notation; also it enables them to continue practicing at home or compose their own material, Guitar Tab for most recordings are available free on the Internet, so once the basic skill set is established students can progress at their own pace and use the lessons to perfect their technique, or undertake more advanced studies.

Lessons are normally an hour a week although some prefer other arrangements; and are based at my studio on Charles Street, Leicester.
