Description

Welcome to Al Wreaves Guitar Lesssons! I'm a professional guitarist, guitar teacher, artist with 30+ million streams and record label owner. I teach dozens of students online via Zoom and from my home studio in South London. After completing a performance Diploma at The Academy of Contemporary Music and a BA Hons Music Degree at The University of Southampton, I've taught hundreds of students of all ages and abilities both privately and in schools over the last 14 years. I teach pop/rock/blues/acoustic/fingerstyle/jazz, songwriting, improvisation, music theory, guitar grades (popular and classical) and offer musical mentorship to aspiring musicians, artists, songwriters and producers!

My aim is simple - I want to help you get better at playing the guitar! By booking a consultation lesson, I'll be able to analyse where you're at with your playing and we can discuss what you'd like to achieve. I'll then explain exactly what you need to do in order to achieve these goals through a structured, progressive practice routine tailored to your specific musical interests.

If you're a complete beginner and have no idea where to start, that's ok! I'll guide you step by step through the basics and have you playing real music in no time. I've taught hundreds of students who had never even touched a guitar before - with a bit of hard work and a little patience, you'll be surprised how quickly you pick things up.

Feel free to drop me a message - let me know a little bit about yourself and any musical experience you may or may not have, then we can book in your first lesson!

Thanks!

Al

I have been taking weekly lessons with Al since October last year and I have no hesitation in rating him five stars and recommending him. He is excellent at pitching his teaching at the right level and making sure that the learning is fun. The key ability he has is his ability to spot exactly what I am doing that needs improvement and suggesting ways to achieve that improvement. He is great at motivating and adapting what he teaches to my interests. Finally his knowledge of music especially as it applies to the guitar is brilliant.

I've had zoom lessons from Al for 3 years now and it's been a great experience, it's fantastic to be taught by such a talented musician. He's very flexible on topics and tunes, easy going and endlessly patient. Highly recommended

Al is truly a phenomenal teacher. I had been playing for several years before starting lessons, but I wasn't happy with my lack of progress and ability despite receiving lessons in the past. I contacted several local teachers, and Al was the only tutor to get back to me immediately. He set up an introductory phone call for us to speak and we then explored where I wanted to go with my playing. This was extremely important to me as I could tell that Al genuinely cared about my goals and aspirations as a guitar player. After meeting for the first time, Al assessed my ability and carefully devised a structured plan for improving my playing and achieving my goals. This was a very personalised service and one I have not encountered anywhere else before. Al is extremely down-to-earth and humble in our lessons. He is a truly outstanding guitar player and has a very broad knowledge of music theory. Rather than being pinned down to a single genre like other tutors I have worked with, Al is extremely eclectic with his playing and has mastered many different styles of music. I have seen this many times during our in-lesson jam sessions. Whilst working with Al, I have found that I enjoy playing a lot more than I used to. This is likely down to the manner in which Al teaches his students. During lessons, Al makes sure to include music that I like listening to and this makes our time together much more fun and fresh. Al breaks each lesson down into several distinct parts - which allows students to focus on areas that need immediate improvement. He sends a detailed lesson plan after each session by email and this has helped me to focus my attention on things I need to practice at home. Each of my lessons have been tailored to my needs as a player, and if I ever need help at home, Al is always on-hand to promptly respond to me. Overall, Al is just an all-round great guy and an amazing teacher. He is committed to helping students achieve thier musical goals, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him whatsoever. My playing has improved almost immediately after starting with Al and I am very grateful for the time and effort that he has put into my lessons . If you are looking for a guitar teacher, Al is the way to go.
