How we’ll work together
We’ll start by looking at your current playing, your goals and what’s holding you back. From there, I’ll build a programme that gives our sessions a clear direction.
We’ll use songs you enjoy to develop your technique, musical understanding and ability to play by ear. As you progress, I’ll adjust your practice plan and introduce new challenges.
You'll have private messaging support throughout the programme.
Questions about:

What to learn next
Something you've heard
Something you're struggling with
You can ask.
I'll set clear response expectations so that you have support without needing to wait for our next session.
I've been teaching guitar one-to-one for many years. Here's what some of my students have said about working with me.
““I had 10 months of lessons with James and my playing came on leaps and bounds. I learned things I simply wouldn’t have considered if I’d remained self-taught. We covered everything from songs and soloing to theory, chord structures and scales. James was always able to suggest what I should work on, while still taking on board what I wanted to learn. I always felt stretched by the lessons, but never out of my depth.””
““After a few lessons with James, I found my playing technique and understanding of guitar theory had improved quickly. His patience and encouragement gave me the confidence to start playing my favourite riffs and songs. The lessons were always tailored to my own skills and musical interests, while also introducing me to new ideas.””
