* 45+ YEARS EXPERIENCE. OVER 80K LESSONS AND 1000s OF STUDENTS.

I DO WHAT OTHER TEACHERS CAN'T OR WON'T DO.

* I TEACH SKILLS
While other teachers waste your time, money and enthusiasm teaching you bits and pieces of songs, favorite tunes and party pieces........(you can get this online for free......It's entertainment, not tuition.)

* I GIVE YOU A START THAT WILL KEEP YOU PLAYING FOR LIFE!!

* I teach all ages (12 and up), levels and styles. I concentrate on developing REAL WORLD SKILLS that will allow students to be successful at auditions, jam sessions and open mic nights.....or just be a good social player for fun at a family get together.

I have a structured program that will take you from an absolute beginner to wherever you want to go, be it social playing, to amateur band, or industry pro.

* I teach or have knowledge of just about any style. Styles/interests include: Jazz, Classical, Latin, Fusion, Blues, Folk, Country, Bluegrass, Classic Rock, Funk, Soul, Neo Soul, 50s Rock, 60s pop, 70s rock.

**** WHO WOULD BEST BENEFIT FROM MY LESSONS AND TEACHING STYLE:

** ADULT SOCIAL PLAYERS
I tend to specialise in mature age adults.

NEVER TOO OLD
I teach a lot of adults who have found it’s far easier than they thought using my methods.

But lot of adults suffer from the “I’m too old” syndrome….I’m here to tell you that adults make the great students. They’re more focused than kids, and understand that if you put in a bit of work you will be rewarded.

They do have a few slight physical problems because of years of work injuries, RSIs, and old sporting injuries.

I take it slowly, and at a pace your hand feels comfortable with. 

** DEDICATED STUDENTS WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AT SOME LEVEL.

The emphasis here is to help you develop Rhythm Guitar skills in a wide variety of styles.

This makes you useful in the real world...not just in your bedroom.

I also work with students to develop their Lead Guitar playing so that they have the ability to create different solos depending on style and chord progression......rather than just play the same tired old licks for every solo.


** STUDENTS 12 AND UP WHOSE PARENTS WANT THEIR KIDS TO LEARN SKILLS.....NOT PARTY PIECES AND BITS OF TUNES..

Sorry...I'm not going to teach you 7 Nation Army, Smoke on the Water, or Teen Spirit with 1 finger played out of time...this is entertainment....not tuition.

In the last 12 months I have taken on 4 students (from a different well known music school, who promises the earth) who had been learning at this establishment for a least 6 months, and could not play a single thing for me on their 1st lesson.

NOT A SINGLE THING, NOT A CHORD, SONG, RIFF, OR INTRO.

I have students from 4 other local guitar schools who have all experienced the same atrocious tuition.

IF WE CAN'T ESTABLISH A RELIABLE INTERNET CONNECTION I WON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
