Simon Campbell Guitar

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 teaching 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 for beginners, 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.

For more experienced players I use a range of learning resources to help you fix the issues that are REALLY holding you back.

Electric Guitar / Acoustic Guitar / Bass

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.
