We match you based on location, taste and how you like to learn.
Charlie — Stratford, Bow & Canary Wharf
Rock, blues and electric guitar. 10+ years teaching, particularly good with adult beginners who feel self-conscious starting out.
Todd — Hackney, Dalston & Shoreditch
Indie, folk and fingerstyle. Great with teenagers, songwriters, and players picking the guitar back up after years away.
Adam — Leyton, Leytonstone & Walthamstow
Electric guitar, lead technique and improvisation. Specialises in breaking intermediate players out of a rut.
Alex — Bethnal Green, Whitechapel & East Ham
Classical and nylon-string acoustic. Strong with children and formal exam prep (ABRSM/Trinity).
What You'll Actually Learn
Practical skills that get you playing real songs faster, not theory for its own sake:
- Rhythm & technique — clean chord transitions, strumming, solid timing
- Lead & expressive play — fingerstyle, lead technique, bending and vibrato
- Applied theory — just enough to make the fretboard and improvisation make sense
- Musicianship — songwriting, performance confidence, basic home recording
Complete beginners — no experience needed, playing real riffs within weeks.
Kids & teens — rhythm, coordination and confidence, without it feeling like homework.
Intermediate & advanced — soloing, modal harmony, tone, stage performance.
