ADVANCED GUITAR LESSONS

DAY TIME AND EVENING SPOTS AVAILABLE!

If there are things that you’d like me to help you with and you’re in Sydney’s west, why not book a personal lesson? (Or a skype lesson if you’re interstate or overseas?)

I teach almost any kind of student; beginners who are just realising how much is possible on the guitar, right through to seasoned professionals who wish to increase their technical or melodic facility, increase their earning potential through their own teaching, or hobbyists who simply want to be better players for the fun of it.

You might hear things in my playing that you want to explore for yourself, or perhaps you want to develop or improve your chops, expand your soloing options, or you may just like a chat about your career, recording project, motivational stuff, or other aspect that I can mentor you through or provide some insight into.

Things I get asked the most about:

* Building a toobox of soloing ideas (e.g. one-chord vamp ideas)

* Techniques: legato, speed-picking

* Modes and getting the most from them

* Note choice

* Album recording mentoring

* Instrumental songwriting

* Combining ideas (e.g arpeggios and scales)

* Outside / passing tone ideas

* Playing across key changes

Some of these things have taken me years to assemble in my own playing, so I recommend multiple sessions in some areas as it’s against my better judgment to load you up with 6 months worth of material in one session without making sure you understand each important step.

Write to me about what you want to achieve on the guitar let’s see if I can help you get there! I will write you back with some strategies and an estimate of how many sessions you’ll need.

Where are the lessons held?

I’m located in Sydney’s outer west, not far from Blacktown & Quakers Hill

What do you need?

Bring your guitar, a tab book or tab paper, and a video camera as I may record some examples for you to save time on notation during the lesson.

Payment is accepted by Cash, PayPal or Direct Deposit.

“I’ve been helping people reach their goals on the guitar since I was 16 years old. Many of my students have gone on to successful teaching or playing careers themselves, and I believe the key to this has been to identify your objectives on the instrument, then implement a plan to help you get there. I don’t believe in spoon-feeding licks from CDs, but I do believe in “real world” examples. I will never teach you anything that doesn’t have real benefits in actual playing situations.

I specialise in helping people find their unique voice on the guitar, but that doesn’t mean I can’t help you replicate your favorite players’ ideas also.
