If you live too far away, take a look at the Skype Lessons page. I can still teach you one to one via the internet and it really does work!
WHAT CAN I TEACH YOU?
As far as styles of music go, I can teach you to play blues, rock, 60's rock 'n' roll, 70's glam rock, funk, 80's pop, heavy metal, 90's pop/rock/indie, advanced rock guitar techniques such as sweep picking, 6 finger tapping, fast alternate picking, hybrid picking, economy picking, pick slanting, slide guitar, acoustic strumming, Intermediate classical guitar/finger picking, intermediate sight reading, advanced bass fingerstyle/plectrum and slap techniques and an advanced level of music theory.
I can prepare students for the Rock School and RGT exams from preliminary up to grade 8.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THE LESSONS 
Amps, leads and guitars are provided during the lesson but if you do want to bring your own guitar (if you are left handed for example or you just feel more comfortable with your own guitar) please use a soft case instead of a hard case if you have one thanks!
If you'd like to learn a particular song, from 60's Rock 'n' Roll to 90's heavy metal, will work the music out for you and teach you how to play it in the lesson.
Also remember to bring your mobile phone and make sure it has enough memory to record videos of me playing your song or exercise.

TUITION AGREEMENT:
You will be asked to sign a form which reads:
PAYMENT TERMS
• If you intend to have more than one lesson, a deposit of just £10 is required on your first lesson. So you first lesson will be £37, then £27 per lesson onwards. When you want to stop lessons (for whatever reason, I will never ask why, it’s none of my business) your last lesson will be just £17.
• Payment can be by cash on a weekly basis (£27) or cash or bank transfer on a monthly basis (£108).
MISSED LESSONS
• Lessons can be cancelled by the student providing 48 hours notice is given without a charge being made.
• If 48 hours notice of cancellation is not received, and the student is unable to attend the lesson for any reason whatsoever, (car failure, illness, bad weather etc etc) a 50% charge (£13 for hour lessons, £7 for half hour lessons) will be made no matter what the circumstance. I will try and reschedule for another time during that same week without charging the fee but if no spaces are available, the cancellation fee will be due on the next lesson. Thank you.
Lessons will always begin and end at the arranged time regardless of the student's arrival time. If the student arrives late for a lesson the full lesson fee will still be due.
• If the teacher cancels a lesson, the lesson will be rescheduled at a mutually convenient date.
PLEASE NOTE:
Anyone who doesn't attend a booked lesson and fails to contact me within 48 hours could loose the lesson slot.
Parents of young children are more than welcome to sit in on the lessons but students are asked kindly to not bring friends to the lessons.
Thank you.
Mobile phones!
It's always a great idea to bring your mobile so you can video me playing the things we have done during the lesson. That way you can play it back at home and be reminded of exactly how to play what we have been working on.
Make sure your phone is charged before the lesson and make sure you have enough memory on your phone to take videos;-)
