Guitar Lessons with Luke

Guitar Lessons with Luke I specialise in being YOUR tutor. Cancellations
Cancellations must be made before 4 hours prior to your booking to not incur charges.

Surrey born, bred and renowned musician Luke Edney offers you guitar tutoring from your home or on "zoom" in Luke's own unique style, all the way from complete novice up to wanna-be guitar virtuoso. Everybody learns differently, and I pride myself on finding the right method to make you learn the most efficiently - No-one likes wasting money on getting nowhere! This is obviously at the discretion

of your own amount of practise time between lessons, many people think that just because they HAVE a guitar tutor, that they will be Jimi Hendrix (or whoever it is you like, let's not go there right now) in no time: It doesn't work this way, you need to put in as much practise as you can to really make the most of our sessions and your money and learning. I have worked with all age groups ranging from 7 to 65 (I will not accept students under the ages of 7), and also have experience with teaching to children and adults alike with additional needs. We can keep it casual and learn at your own pace, or we can go through Rock School's graded system for that full blown karate black belt tier, it's entirely up to you! Cancellations made within 6-hour period prior to your booking will be charged at 50% of the rate of your lesson. Cancellations made within 2 hours of the lesson will be charged at the rate of the lesson. I ask that you give me as much notice as possible when cancelling a lesson as freeing up slots allows me to reschedule people looking for a more desired time slot. I also understand sometimes life gets in the way and making that cancellation is not always a desired option, you will not be blacklisted or treated any differently because of any cancellation you make. Booking Changes
As mentioned above, life can sometimes get in the way and should you wish to reschedule the lesson for the same week at a different time that is convenient and that fits my schedule, you will not be charged a cancellation fee. I will always work with you to find the best option to not incur charges, but please note that I cannot guarantee anything. What if you cancel a booking Luke? I reserve the right to cancel bookings right up until the time of your lesson, but only ever if absolutely necessary and unavoidable. If I cancel a booking within 3 hours prior to the lesson time, you will receive 50% off your next lesson. If I cancel you up to 90 minutes before the lesson, you will receive your next lesson for free. If, however the nature of my cancellation within 90 minutes is out of my hands such as traffic for home visits or technical issues for zoom lessons, I reserve the right to not give any money off the next lesson. Punctuation with online Lessons
Please be prompt and on time for online lessons, I don’t enjoy sitting in a waiting room looking at my beautiful orange barnet on we**am. I will wait 33% of the lesson time and then the lesson will be cancelled, and you will still have to pay for your lesson in full. For example, if you have a 30 minute lesson booked, I will wait 10 minutes (probably 12, I’m quite nice) before leaving the meeting room, and if it’s an hour I will wait 20 minutes before the lesson is void. Leeway can sometimes be given if you really can’t help the circumstances, but most of the time I have a lesson booked in right after you, so cannot wait. Punctuation with IN-PERSON Lessons
Obviously if you’re not in when I arrive for your in-person lesson, full payment of your lesson will be required. I will wait up to ten minutes if you are running late, and may be able to be flexible if you make me aware, but this is all subject to what I have booked up after your lesson.

Just had one of the best "misheard lyrics" incidents with a student today. Re: Smash Mouth's "Allstar":
🎵somebody once told me the world was macaroni so I went and had a poo in the shed🎵😄

It's been a while since i posted on here but it's just because I've been so hectic. Another great result from a student that is utterly resilient in his practise and thirst for musical knowledge. What started as a extra curricular part of his D of E has turned into "I want to continue right up to grade 8". We've been doing this since debut grade (1 below grade 1) and within a year and a half he's gone and racked up his grade three this month after starting study for it in December! Super proud and so glad he's continuing to make massive strides with his goals.

🧘‍♀️Meditation in playing and learning:
Been a while since I posted so I thought I'd let you into a little thing I've done since a beginner when the song you're trying to learn just isn't going your way. I would sit infront of the tv watching something to shut off in my mind whilst still practising. It gives your mind chance to breathe and for muscle memory to try to take over, and get them much needed hours upon hours of fine tuning a hard song or scale that frustrate us so much when learning. I still do it now but I will also widdle with one hand whilst doing mundane stuff on the computer like filling out spreadsheets or browsing the Web. Can't tell you how many times I've accidentally come up with a new riff or lick whilst doing this.

Playing with FX is one of the great fun niches to playing electric. Why learn keys when you could learn guitar? 😅

Practise makes better. There's no such thing as perfect. We live in such a technological world you can go on YouTube, find your favourite song, and then slow it down to practise getting it right note for note before starting to speed it up to record pace. But how many people learning to play any instrument actually do?! Again, because everything is so easily accessible these days people tend to thing that the same thing will spill over into their practise time because they don't understand hard graft anymore! This is something I endlessly metaphorically slap my students in the face with, it's actually harder alot of the time to play something slowly, especially to a metronome and no other context. Get them licks, bends, slides, vibrato and picking absolutely crisp and clear like you are actually in fact listening to the track slowed down and hearing all those little nuisances. It's also a great opportunity to get your guitar gurn faces just how you want them! 🤣🤤
