What stage are you at?

New to guitar

"I started lessons as a complete beginner and have found Chris to be really friendly and patient. I started learning to play the songs I like from the off, and the lesson materials are clear and easy to practice from at home. If you’re looking for relaxed lessons and a knowledgeable teacher, Chris is your guy!"

Naomi King

"Chris has all the aspects of a great tutor. In a matter of weeks, I'm playing some of my favourite music and moving on to more advanced techniques."

Dan Teasdale

You don’t need to be “talented” to learn guitar. I believe anyone can learn to play, but choosing random YouTube videos doesn’t usually work.

If you’re new to guitar, I offer in-person lessons, online lessons, or a free online course. From guitar anatomy, to strumming chords, and playing riffs, I’ve got you covered.

Beyond the basics

"When I started with Chris I’d been playing guitar for twenty-five years but I was self-taught, and had stagnated and plateaued. After a long stretch playing bass in various bands, I wanted to improve my six-string technique and abilities. Chris is an excellent tutor - he has a very calm, friendly and professional manner, and a great teaching style."

Get good in three steps.

Build Good Habits

During my years as a guitar teacher, I've come across some pretty unusual habits that beginners can pick up. Sometimes, guitarists aren't even aware they're doing it. Here, I show you what those bad habits are, and how you can remedy them.

Play What You Hear

Instead of relying on low quality TABs & lengthy tutorials, I'll show you how to become self-sufficient. When you can play guitar by ear, you become a faster learner, a better writer, and a more fluent improviser all at once.

Learn How Music Works

Learning by repetition can only get you so far. When you play guitar without understanding music - it's like typing in a foreign language you don't understand. No wonder so many guitarists get stuck in a rut. There's a better way to learn, but it doesn't need to involve reading music theory books or watching whiteboard lectures.
