More Than Just Learning Chords

Great guitar playing involves more than memorising chord shapes.

Depending on your goals, lessons can also include music theory, ear training, improvisation, songwriting and performance skills.

Practical Music Theory

Understand how chords, scales, keys and progressions work together, and learn how to use that knowledge when you actually play.

Improvisation

Develop the confidence to create your own guitar parts, experiment with melodies and improvise over chord progressions.

Songwriting

Turn your ideas into complete songs. Explore chord progressions, melodies, riffs, arrangements and song structures while developing your own musical identity.

Performance

If you want to perform for friends, play in a band, accompany yourself while singing or simply become more confident playing in front of others, lessons can incorporate performance skills from the beginning.

A Practical Approach to Guitar Progress

Our goal is to make every lesson useful, enjoyable and relevant to your musical journey.

1. Build Strong Foundations

Develop good posture, finger placement, picking technique, rhythm and coordination from the beginning.

2. Learn Through Real Music

Rather than spending every lesson on isolated exercises, apply new skills to songs, riffs and musical styles you actually enjoy.

3. Practise With Purpose

You’ll leave each lesson with clear ideas about what to practise, helping you make the most of your time between sessions.

4. Build Confidence Over Time

As your technique develops, you’ll gradually be able to play more challenging songs, understand more about music and express yourself more freely on the instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. You don’t need any previous musical experience to start. Beginners are guided through the fundamentals step-by-step, from holding the guitar comfortably and learning basic chords to playing their first songs.

Do I need my own guitar?

Having a guitar at home is recommended because regular practice between lessons is an important part of learning.

In-home lessons: Your tutor travels to your home across Putney, Richmond, Fulham, Wimbledon and surrounding South West London areas.

Everyone progresses at a different pace. Your results will depend on your starting level, lesson frequency, practice routine and goals.
