Free Guitar Lessons for Beginners and Intermediate Players

I love guitar. You might have gathered that!

Guitar as Therapy

I started learning guitar when I was going through a scary time. I was 21 and on sick leave from the army after a climbing accident that changed my life. I didn’t realise at the time that learning guitar was therapy, but it was and it continues to be.

Teaching Guitar

And d’you know what else helps my mental state besides learning and playing music? Teaching music. I didn’t know that it would work out like that, but it has. Nothing makes me so happy as to see my pupils’ improving and to see the smile that it can bring as they learn their favourite songs.

Lockdown Lessons

During the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020 I put out a series of lessons on my Facebook channel. These are aimed at beginners and are a good example of how I teach.

 The lessons they are always fun, I always learn new things to do with the guitar, and it’s always a good laugh. I would be much less skilled at the guitar had it not been for these lessons and they have done me a world of good.
