Guitar Lessons 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.

Guitar Lessons Whether you’re a complete beginner, an intermediate player looking to break through a plateau, or an advanced guitarist aiming to refine your skills, lessons are tailored entirely to your goals. Together we’ll build a clear roadmap based on what you want to achieve, whether that’s learning your favourite songs, improving technique, developing improvisation skills, understanding music theory, songwriting, performance preparation, or working towards a professional music career.

Lessons are delivered online via Zoom using a professional high-quality setup, including a direct guitar audio feed, studio-quality microphone, high-speed internet connection, and multiple camera angles when needed. This provides clear audio and video, allowing you to see and hear every detail as if we were in the same room. Lessons can also be recorded, giving you the opportunity to revisit key concepts and practice effectively between sessions.

Students receive access to professionally prepared learning materials, including sheet music, tablature, backing tracks, exercises, practice plans, and personalised lesson notes. Every lesson is structured to provide a balance of progress, challenge, and enjoyment, ensuring you always know what to work on and why.

Drawing from years of experience performing across the UK and Europe, appearing on television, recording in professional studios, teaching hundreds of students, and working as a full-time musician, I provide practical, real-world guidance that goes beyond simply learning songs. My goal is to help you become a confident, capable musician while keeping lessons engaging, motivating, and relevant to your personal musical ambitions.

Styles taught include rock, pop, blues, indie, acoustic, fingerstyle, funk, alternative, singer-songwriter, and contemporary commercial music, with lessons adapted to suit your musical tastes and aspirations.

Guitar Lessons * 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.
