Patient, relaxed and friendly Online Guitar Tutor

Acoustic 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.

Matt is fantastic. His teaching pace is exactly what I need, and the smallest adjustments he makes have such a big impact on my playing while helping me avoid developing bad habits. He tailors each lesson based on how I’m progressing, which makes learning feel really personalised and effective. I highly recommend Matt!

I've been learning guitar online with Matt and honestly the online format hasn't held the experience back at all — he makes every session feel personal and one-on-one.

What stands out most is his patience. He never rushes you, and he genuinely listens to where you're at before deciding what to teach next. The learning plan is tailored — not a fixed syllabus shoved at every student.

The notes he prepares are also really well thought out. They build on each other gradually, so you can feel the progression instead of just collecting random tabs.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a teacher who actually adapts to you.

Mathew is the best! Incredible teacher and guitarist with a great personality that makes you feel super comfortable as a beginner to more advanced and builds you up with a ton of variety of skills. Having came from another instructor for three years, I have gotten further in one year with Mathew than I did in the last three. He is extremely organised with tabs, the audio and visual is always excellent, always on time, and has a passion for music than comes across in lessons. I can't imagine learning from anyone else. I am so motivated with his teaching to improve and have seen so much progress. Cannot recommend his teaching enough!

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!!!
