Styles Taught
I provide electric, acoustic and nylon guitar lessons. I have learnt that there are many common themes that link various styles of music — these themes are present in all of the tuition that I offer. This is, I believe, the importance of establishing a little classical training for guitar (sight reading is always recommended but never insisted upon). The techniques expressed in classical music can be transferred and adapted to practically any other popular style.
In Barnet
Acoustic guitar lessons are very popular amongst all age groups. I can offer blues guitar lessons, teach country guitar, plectrum style, slide / bottleneck guitar, fingerstyle guitar and provide tuition on areas such as dropped tunings and harmonics. I find that acoustic guitar lessons are great for beginners and experienced players alike — acoustic guitar tends to cover a broad range of musical styles.
In Potters Bar
Electric guitar lessons require the student to have an amp of their own for tuition at their home address. If you're looking to make a little more noise then I can provide lead guitar lessons in rock/blues improvisation, show you power chords, phrase training, and modal improvisation. I can explain how to get a sound you're happy with, as well as advice on areas like effects pedals, compression and recording techniques. Teenagers seem to find electric guitar lessons particularly inspiring!
In Barnet
Classical and Spanish guitar lessons offer a comprehensive development of left and right hand technique. Lessons offered include tremolo, fingerstyle, apoyando technique, tirando technique, how to play rasgueado, rumba and golpe technique. Sight reading is thoroughly recommended for more rapid progression. Exam entry amongst students having classical and Spanish guitar lessons is extremely popular — especially students in secondary education.
I provide guitar lessons in Barnet for all ages, all standards and all walks of life. I have learnt the fundamentals of guitar technique, sight reading, ear training and improvisation that are imperative to the progress of all my students. If you are looking for reliable and professional guitar tuition please get in touch.
