Bancroft Guitar Lessons

Looking forward to playing at more local events over the next little while! One of the things I enjoy most about music is being able to share it with other people, whether that's performing or helping someone learn their first song.

Thanks to everyone who's supported me in my guitar journey so far!🎸

Happy Canada Day everyone!

This is the day that like to celebrate not only this great country, but the great music that came out of it. Who's your favorite Canadian band?

For me it's gotta be Rush!

As a guitar teacher one of the things I look forward to the most is helping students learn music they actually enjoy listening to. I'm always curious to hear what songs inspire people to pick up the guitar in the first place.

So I'd like to know, if you could learn one song or riff right now, what would it be?

Feel free to leave a comment.

Hi everyone,

Just want to give a bit of advice to all the young beginner guitarists who want to be able to shred.

If you're like me and you grew up listening to guitarists who can play really fast, it's normal to want to be able to play like them early on. That was definitely the case with me as a kid.

And here's the good news:
I believe you all have the potential to reach that level with enough practice and time.

But it also takes a lot of patience. You have to walk before you can run. So don't worry if you can't play complex riffs and solos within the first few years. Start by playing just a few notes at a time with a focus on feel to make each note sound as beautiful as possible. Because you don't have to shred to capture an audience. Slow melodic playing can be impressive too.

Also, a quick reminder that spots are still open for 1 hour group classes on Sundays! Feel free to message me and reserve your spot.

Spots are now being reserved for a 1-hour beginner group guitar lesson on Sunday May 24th at 1:00pm. There's room for 5 students in this group, so if your child is interested in having fun learning guitar alongside other beginners, feel free to send me a message to book a lesson before the group fills up.

Hope to see you this Sunday!

If you like you can also tell me a song you'd like to learn.

Tennessee Whiskey anyone?
