Guitar Lessons

Guitar Lessons Guitar lessons - daytime or evening, one-to-one lessons - from beginners, through intermediate to advanced. I currently live and work in Cippenham, Slough.

I am a Guitar and Ukulele teacher with over 39 years teaching experience based in the Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead area. I began teaching professionally in early February 1986. From that time to the present, I have taught many students of all ages (typically between 7 years to 60+), both male and female, teaching from absolute beginners, through the intermediate stages, to advanced players, using a

wide variety of musical styles and techniques, including classical, steel-string acoustic and electric guitar. I also teach the electric Bass guitar. I teach those who wish to learn “just for fun”, as well as tutoring those who are working towards their grade exams, typically for Trinity, ABRSM or Rock School. I mainly prefer to teach on a one-to-one basis, however, I have also taught student groups of up to around 15 students in an adult education setting. I have taught regularly in both state and private local schools as a private visiting peripatetic guitar tutor, including supporting students who are preparing for their GCSE Music or BTEQ Music exams. Schools where I have previously taught include - James Elliman School (Slough), Burnham Grammar, Maltmans Green (Gerrards Cross), Langley Academy and Eton End School. I have also worked as a guitar teacher for the Bucks County Council as an Adult Education Tutor, taught a complete beginner group for Mars (UK), and I helped set up Guitar groups for Microsoft, and regularly taught beginner guitar groups at Microsoft’s (UK) in Reading.

Here's a preview of Fear of Falling 1983-84's latest single which is due for release on the 5th December. This song was originally written and recorded by the band in their 8-track basement studio in central Slough in 1984. I was their guitarist at that time, and I played the electric guitar on this track, as you will hear. So after having recovered the audio track from an archived reel-to-reel master tape in 2023, I have most recently been able to remix and remaster the song at Butterfly Island's studio. It's really nice to be able to listen to 'Young Man's Daydream' again, as it was intended, and after all this time.

Here's a preview of our new single 'Young Man's Daydream' on Soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/fear-of-falling-28831277/young-mans-daydream

Guitar Lessons Update (February 2022) - from this week (21/02) onwards, I'm increasingly moving back to 'in person' Guitar lessons as COVID restrictions ease. Therefore, do feel free to contact me if you'd like to attend. Out of respect for other students and following Govt guidance, I will ask that face masks are still worn during lessons for a while longer, probably until the weather warms up and we can open the studio windows and improve air circulation. Also, please only attend if you are feeling well, and have no cold, flu or Covid symptoms. Look forward to hearing from you..

Guitar Lessons (Update Sept 21) – I have been giving online Guitar lessons only since the start of the Covid pandemic. However, I should begin to return to in-person lessons from 20th September onward. I intend to teach again in-person (one to one) on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturday (mornings). Students will be able to attend either weekly or fortnightly with their own guitar. A prospective student can either be a beginner or someone who already has some playing experience. Pre-Covid pandemic students may also continue as before subject to my availability. However, all students moving forward and for the time being will be required to wear a suitable face mask and attend with evidence of a negative Covid Lateral Flow Test taken prior to the start of each lesson. Sorry, no exceptions. Hand Gel will also be made available for use during the lesson. Regarding lesson materials – unless the student is working from their own Grade books, I will no longer provide pre-printed lesson material. Instead I will send out PDF Music sheets in advance of each lesson via E-mail or WhatsApp for the student to either print out or refer to using their own Tablet PC, Kindle Fire or iPad during the lesson. People keep telling me they will get back to their lessons when "things get back to normal". Well folks, for the foreseeable future, this IS the new normal. OK, it's not what we intended perhaps, but it's what we have, for now. So I do look forward to teaching at least some of you once again 'in person' soon.

I wanted to share our first new music video "Prisoner Of Love" (Butterfly Island) for 2021. I actually played various Guitars on the audio track, including 2 Classical Guitar parts (in harmony and unison) and 1 Electric Rhythm Guitar part. Happy New Year everyone !
