Guitar Lessons

Levels Taught: Beginner, Intermediate

Hello I’m Matt, a patient, relaxed and friendly Online Guitar Tutor.

I’ve been playing guitar for 22 years and I’ve been teaching for over 5 years. I teach all ages and levels from complete beginner to advanced. I play a broad range of styles from classical, to acoustic finger style, to electric guitar. I recently moved from London to Australia. In the UK I taught over 1300 lessons, with a 5 star rating.

I like to start by getting an idea of what type of style/bands/artists you like so I can tailor the lessons to suit you.

For beginners I like to cover reading guitar tab, learning chords, scales, note length and values, practising rhythm and playing with a metronome, slides, bends, hammer ons and pull offs.

I provide notated guitar tab/sheet music for us to learn from and I email that after the lesson so you can go over and practise what we covered during the lesson.

Once we have covered the basics I always ask you to recommend a song that you would love to play! I’ve found you're more likely to practise and have fun if you learn a song you love. If the song is a bit too tricky I can create a slightly easier version of it for you.

For Intermediate Players we will cover:

Barre Chords 
Modes
Chord Progression Theory
Composing Songs
Finger Picking/fingerstyle
Flamenco right hand patterns
Classical music
Music Theory

I have excellent attention to detail, but I am very patient with a laid back personality. My lessons are fun and friendly, in a productive but no-pressure environment.

I graduated from the University of Hertfordshire in 2013 with a BSc in Commercial Music Composition and Technology, which provided me with knowledge to write, record and produce music of many genres.

I started learning guitar when I was 10, and proceeded to learn electric, classical and Spanish guitar. I have a wide range of musical tastes, so I can discuss and teach any music you have in mind.

I have played gigs around London, Melbourne and regional Victoria, and I am regularly writing and recording new music.

I started taking lessons with Matt 2 years ago. I was a tad self-taught but I basically knew nothing. Lesson by lesson, I noticed how easily I'm improving and how carefully the teachings are crafted around my progress and needs. I love Matt's vibe in our guitar lessons. Thank you!

Ohhh, I'm not sure where to even begin with this story, it's so long! I might end up writing a short story about my experience with Matt.

First and foremost, I'm incredibly grateful to have met Matt in my life. He's not only an amazing guitarist but also a genuinely lovely person. His teaching style is exceptional.

I started lessons with him in April 2019 knowing absolutely nothing about guitar. I took it one lesson at a time, and after just two, I was hooked. With each lesson, I became more eager to learn and discover new music.

Matt is incredibly patient, detail-oriented, and versatile. I initially started on acoustic guitar but eventually transitioned to classical and electric. Now, I love both equally, and these lessons have helped me discover what works best for me.

I can't thank Matt enough for all the support he's given me throughout this journey. Finding a great teacher is important, but finding an amazing human being is a treasure.
Thank you and Cheerio!!!
