My adult lessons are tailored for experienced players who are looking to improve consistently or change direction from Rock to Jazz or Classical to Blues.
Maybe you've been playing guitar on and off for years and become bored of hearing yourself play the same licks over and over - I can help you to venture into the unknown. I've taught many players who just want to improve certain aspects of their guitar playing. Sometimes it's a speed thing, or just some music theory to improve song writing ability.
But if you've never played before, It's never too late to start learning - all you need is a realistic expectation and a good teacher
If all you want is to learn to play a few of your favourite songs really well, then the lessons and practice materials will be tailored for that purpose and I promise you, it won't take long.
My prices are here and you can find out a lot about basics of music theory and techniques here too.
You can find out about learning Rock and Metal, Jazz, Blues, Classical and Punk guitar. Hopefully this will help you understand where you want to go and what you want to learn. Then all you need to do is Book Your First Lesson
Feel free to call me if you'd like to talk it over.
Taking guitar grades isn't limited to young beginners. Anyone can work toward guitar grades in Classical or pop/rock styles - finger-style or plectrum (pick) respectively. Taking grades might seem daunting but I methodically guide all my grade students to make sure they are 100% ready for every exam to provide the best chance of a success.
The biggest challenge for mature students who didn't get the opportunity to learn to read music early on, is understanding course materials used in all grades.
Today it is more common for guitarists to read Guitar TAB (tablature) rather than standard music notation. You can become a good musician without learning to read music, but it is much more difficult unless you learn to interpret at least some of the information contained in a staff of guitar music (rhythms, phrasing, dynamics etc.).
