The 18-Year Guitar Curriculum: Proven Steps to Mastery
From 36 £ /h
With over 18 years of professional experience as a musician and music teacher, I have created a specialized, proprietary curriculum proven to significantly enhance musical skills, regardless of the student's background.
My core approach is personalized pedagogy: I prioritize understanding each student's individual learning style and personality to create a perfectly tailored lesson plan. I don't just teach you; I empower you to master the art of self-instruction.
Areas of Specialization
1. Rock & Blues Guitar (Beginner to Advanced)
-Technique: Sweep picking, alternate picking, and speed development.
-Improvisation: Practical application of modes for rock and blues soloing.
-Repertoire: Learning through famous rock songs and exploring pedal/multi-effects.
2. Jazz Guitar (Intermediate to Advanced)
-Theory & Harmony: In-depth study of modes, triads, intervals, and advanced chord voicings.
-Practical Application: Analyzing standard chord changes (e.g., ii-V-I) and transcribing classic solos.
-Improvisation: Developing harmonic sensibility and fluency on the fretboard.

About Me
Early Development and Professional Entry
musical journey began at age eight on the Piano, transitioning to the Guitar at twelve. By the age of seventeen, he was actively involved in various local musical projects. His professional career began at nineteen when he joined his first touring project, quickly gaining significant on-stage experience.
His playing evolved into a distinctive trademark style, combining sophisticated harmonic sensibility with compelling improvisational clarity, resulting in an electric and captivating guitar sound.
Academic Excellence and Formal Training
To deepen his theoretical knowledge, He enrolled in the Higher Institute of Music (HIM), where he specialized in Guitar Performance, alongside studies in Singing, Clarinet, and Piano. During his time at the HIM, he was privileged to study with renowned international musicians, including:
Dr. Gene Aitken (USA), Chris Byars (USA), Frank Carlberg (Swiss), Jan Ackermann (Holland), Daniel Blanc (Swiss), Zaid Naser (USA), Zoë Al Rahman (UK), Pat Martino (USA).
His exceptional talent was publicly recognized in 2002 when his band debuted six original compositions at a major music festival.
Key Collaborations and Ensemble Leadership
In 2004, He was a founding member of the SS Jazz Orchestra, which established itself as the first full-size big band in the Middle East. He also led his own ensemble, the Amr Band, touring extensively across the region.
A highlight of his career was performing with the legendary bebop saxophonist Charles Davis (known for his work with Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, and Ben Webster) in 2009. That same year, he collaborated with the acclaimed Lebanese composer and pianist, Ziad Rahbani (son of Fairuz).
He was deeply inspired by the pedagogy and style of American bebop jazz pianist Barry Harris, which influenced his performance and teaching approach. He has also collaborated with various artists across Europe.
International Performance and Recordings
In 2009, He recorded his first unofficial album, Time Circle, a seven-track collection with his trio. Later, touring the UK, he performed in various London venues with double bassist Oli Hayhurst, notably joining singer Juliet Kelly. He concluded his UK tour by performing as the Amr Trio, featuring Oli Hayhurst and drummer Gene Calderazzo.
Personal Philosophy (First Person)
"Since childhood, music has been a constant presence in my life. While I greatly enjoy performing, my true passion lies in improvising and the dynamic interaction with other musicians. There is nothing more rewarding than building that vital energy between us and forging a meaningful connection with the audience. It is simply, a great experience."
