Guitar Learning Resources
A few articles that I hope will be helpful for you or your child to improve their guitar playing. Our focus is teaching students in person in our guitar school. For more in depth instruction and to get real life feedback to help you guitar playing. I would always recommend seeing finding a guitar teacher in person.
If you would like more advice about learning the guitar and you are based in London, get in touch with us via the button at the bottom of this page. We offer a free introductory guitar lesson for students for both adults and children who are keen to improve their guitar playing.
If you are not based in London and still interested to learn, get in touch! We are currently running online lessons due to "You know what" - so we might still be the right fit for you.
I’ll experience this a few times a year…
It’s a feeling I think you might be able to relate to…
“What have I done this year?”
Ever wonder how some people seem to have endless bags of motivation… and others struggle to stay motivated to learn?
As a teacher… nothing beats this feeling. Being able to sit back and watch a student perform…
… and see all the hard work they’ve put in pay off.
Do you like Youtube videos?
If you do… I’d love to show you my newest video. I think it’s great! (But then again I am biased lol.)
If you HATE getting compliments about your guitar playing… these two little words might be the reason why.
Here’s exactly how I practice improvising solos to make them sound composed. (Hint: it’s much simpler than people think. Just because it’s simple though, doesn’t mean it’s “easy.”)
There’s one “trap” you must avoid when learning music.
It’s something I heard a student say when I sat down with them for the first time.
Some people seem to have no problem playing in time. They never skip a beat. And everything seems effortless to them, never going out of time

This is a video from our student event called the Big Gig back in September 2021.
Jimi Hendrix said something profound about playing the blues… And when I heard it I immediately resonated with what he said…
“Good things take time…but great things happen all at once.”
That quote comes from the movie Rat Race. A ridiculous comedy where a bunch of normal people compete to find a bag full of money.
Back in September 2021 a beginner kid student started learning bass with us. And he did his first performance in his first month.
If you don’t hate how your guitar playing sounds to you then you can potentially skip this article… but you might still find this interesting
Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE…) has off days with practice. Days when you don’t pick up the guitar to practice…
It’s not easy to see the work that needs putting in. It can become frustrating at times to manage your expectations and with your learning.
