Guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer with 20 years of experience.

I started to study guitar in 2002. After 6 months I started playing live music.
I began to teach guitar in 2018, in London.

I am specialized in beginners and children.
You can choose online lessons (Skype, Zoom, FaceTime), or lessons at your home, in London. I can teach in Italian and in English.

In the lessons the main lines of study are:
- technique exercises to make your hands stronger;
- songs suggested by me and songs that you like;
- music theory.

I try to communicate my passion for music, especially to the children, without forgetting to have fun.

Either, if you want to become a really good guitarist or if you just want to play guitar for fun and relaxation, don’t hesitate to contact me.
I thrive on seeing my students grow and develop as they discover what they can achieve.

Being an electric guitarist requires a lot of technical skills, fine motor skills, knowledge of the instrument, but above all expressiveness. To be a great guitarist and perform on stage as Hendrix did, you will not only need a lot of practice, but also to be very clear about where you want to go and have the specific tools at hand to achieve this goal.

Hello, my name is Sebastián, I have been a guitarist for 20 years, I have a master's degree in education and 10 years of experience teaching music.

I have designed this course to cover various techniques (alternate picking, legato, tapping, vibrato, bending, arpeggio, sweep picking, chord inversion, etc.), theory (scales, chords, harmony), knowledge of the fretboard, improvisation, and expression.

Experience the joy of guitar like never before! With my exceptional skills and extensive knowledge, I'll guide you on a musical adventure that will fill your heart with pure joy. Unleash your true potential and discover the beauty of playing guitar. Let's embark on this incredible journey together!

Hello! I offer professional guitar lessons for electric, acoustic, classical, and ukulele in a friendly, stress-free atmosphere for both beginners and advanced players. I've been teaching for about six years and have been involved with the instrument for over twelve years.

I'm a finalist in global competitions and a winner in national contests, both as a solo artist and in groups.

Whether you're taking your first steps or need help with technique and theory, you've come to the right place! I approach the instrument comprehensively. We can work on specific styles: technical prog metal playing, rock, jazz standards, blues, classical, fingerstyle. I also have significant knowledge of recording and guitar processing in DAW software and can assist in that area as well.

Online lessons via Skype, Zoom, Google Meets

During lessons, we mainly focus on:

Developing proper playing technique,
Playing songs you enjoy,
Improvisation,
Mastering music theory,
Navigating the fretboard smoothly,
Having a great time
After each lesson, I provide educational materials.

I offer fantastically priced bespoke professional acoustic, electric and classical guitar lessons for players of any ability. Many of my students take graded exams in either contemporary or classical guitar and students who I prepare for exams regularly achieve distinctions. However if the student does not wish to take graded exams I can simply help them learn their favourite songs as well as teaching key techniques to progress in their preferred genres and styles.

I have a DBS certificate and have experience working with students of all ages.

If you have any questions just send me a message.

Want to play guitar but no idea where to start? I can help!

I'm a jazz student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire going into my 3rd year- with extensive teaching experience ranging from preschool to pension, I have helped people to ace grade exams and pushed guitarists to understand music better. I currently have numerous happy guitar students, most of whom I have taught from their first time with the instrument.

I can teach right from the first stage, and help with grade exams if that's the route you choose to take. If not, I often do a more modern, non-graded path as well. I'm also equipped to help in passing theory grades, and very knowledgeable about music tech, recording, effects and gear!

Go on, give me a call!

I’m an experienced guitarist and I can help those of all abilities and ages looking to learn the instrument or develops their skills. I’ve been playing for 16 years and I’m well versed in most genres and styles of music.

Open to all stages of learning whether you want to focus on fundamentals and guitar theory or develop your own style and technique.

I can support anyone looking to gain knowledge of harmony, chord melody, soloing, popular and unconventional song structure and style. Or if you want to learn other songs and build up your repertoire.

My musical background is primarily as a jazz guitarist, specialising in improvisation and composition. This is something I can work on with students once core skills are acquired.

I can also help get students get up to speed with their grade exams and offer musical theory support.

Aside from my
experience as a guitarist, I play in different bands as a Writer and composer. I have experience as a recording artist at Abbey Road studios and I can teach students about song writing and composition.

I’m fluent on music softwares such as Logic Pro X and Ableton and offer Music Production and Recording technique classes at my own studio in Clapton East London.

If you want to learn more about the guitar and progress as a musician or songwriter please get in touch!

Using jazz music as my specialism, I am able to teach even the most technically challenging concepts in their most basic forms and transfer them to the guitar in their most simple terms. I have taught the guitar, music theory and GCSE and A-Level Music syllabuses for six years to students of all ages and abilities and across every imaginable genre.

In this class we will cover everything from the first instance of picking up a guitar, to learning your favourite songs. If you already have some experience with the instrument, then we will look into more technical development and also expand on your understanding of previous concepts/experience.

ABOUT ME
I am a friendly, solid, inspiring, patient, real-world music teacher, with over a decade's experience as a working, touring, studying, writing, teaching, musician!

APPROACH
Creating a nice atmosphere is really important to me. I'd love to know more about your goals and what excites you - your dreams might be as big as building a career in music, or as small as being able to perform a few songs to no-one but yourself and your cat. Anything and everything in between is totally valid and worth exploring!

THINGS I CAN HELP WITH
- How to get the most from music, whether that be through following a grade system, or just learning how to play the music you love.
- Getting to that "next level" of guitar playing, wherever you are at the moment
- Organising the fretboard, rhythm, inspiration, what to practice (at any level)
- Providing helpful real-world context for the things you might be learning at school/college/university/YouTube
- Songwriting/Arranging/Production, from very first steps to advanced concepts
- Blocks/worries you might have about any aspect of music, or a kind of music coaching role (I'm not a licensed therapist but I'm here for it!)

FIRST LESSON
This would be an introductory session, where we get a feel for each other and what your aims are. By having a chat, I find that "what we should work on" flows pretty naturally from this, and we'd be able to set out a rough syllabus of what we would work on for the next while.

FURTHER INFO/EXPERIENCE
- Professional musician for over a decade, most notably touring as a guitarist with US Artists Theo Katzman and May Erlewine, as well as a Fleetwood Mac tribute show.

- I produce and release my own original music with 17k monthly listeners.
- Have worked as a session guitarist on a huge variety of genres (I can help you with pretty much any kind of music you can think of, but I'll be open and upfront with you if I feel my expertise doesn't match what you want. I'll be sorry to disappoint you that my, say, Bulgarian Folk knowledge isn't too hot...)
