Description
Hey! I’m Simon, and I’m a guitar teacher with 11 years teaching experience. No matter your age or experience level, I can help you become a confident, well rounded musician.
Whether you’re just playing for fun or have dreams of selling out massive arenas, my coaching has helped dozens of players overcome their barriers, and I’d love to help you do the same!
I have a wealth of experience and patience as a teacher. To keep things fun, I use song-based learning to teach new techniques, rather than running boring drills and scales. My students stay motivated and progress faster as a result.
Electric Guitar / Acoustic Guitar / Bass / Ukulele
I started learning the electric guitar at age 12 after seeing the music video for 'Can't Stop' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In the following years I also took up the acoustic guitar, bass, ukulele and I joined my first band in 2005.
Since then I have been playing, recording, writing, and gigging in diverse settings and genres. All of this playing experience has given me a great insight into how people approach making music and he uses this to create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere for my students.
Through my lessons you will develop:
Enhanced technical ability
Deeper musicality
Rhythmic intuition
Instrument care
Confidence
Using song-based learning for technique development, you will build skills and knowledge in:
-Basic instrument care
-Chords & Harmony
-Picking - Plectrum, Finger-style, Hybrid
-Timing and Groove
-Playing from tab, by ear, and from memory
-Soloing and Improvisation
I also integrate songwriting and music theory into my lessons, ensuring you actually understand what you’re playing, not just how you’re playing.

- Your First Lesson -
Your first lesson will be a chance to get to know me and experience my teaching style first hand. You will be able to discuss areas that you find challenging and you'll start taking the first steps to achieving your personal goals.
- Beginners -
For guitar, bass or ukulele you will just need your instrument (and maybe a few plectrums). Music sheets and all other materials will be provided by Simon.
