I am a professional guitarist experienced in most styles of music such as rock, blues, metal, pop, funk, and soul. I am available for guitar and music theory lessons, and I cater to beginners and those at an intermediate level and beyond.
My lessons are a combination of practice and theory so you will not only learn how to play a chord or a song, but you will also understand how chords and scales are related to each other.
I'm experienced in teaching kids and adults, I hold an enhanced DBS check, and I can also help you out if you are looking to attend a grade examination.
To keep you from getting bored, I strive to make my lessons fun and interactive as I always provide bespoke studying materials. They are personalized to fit your needs – whether you’ve just recently picked up a guitar, you are on a more advanced level, or you simply need more inspiration and motivation to develop your existing skills. I have a YouTube channel and offer video tutorials for some of the topics we will cover. I love teaching and my greatest reward is to hear you play great music and see you achieve your goals!


Cancellation policy - at least 24h before the start of the lesson.

Get in touch with more details and information.

I look forward to hearing from you!

About Me
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, all the way back to Cagliari, Italy, where I was born and raised. During these formative years, alongside studying classical guitar, private tuition in jazz guitar particularly fuelled my passion for modern styles, with the music of Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Led Zeppelin, and Pat Metheny providing a window to the fascinating world of rock, jazz, and blues.

Nowadays, as a freelance session guitarist and guitar tutor, I have a wealth of experience in live music, studio recording, session playing, and songwriting and enjoy the versatility and creativity of working across a wide range of genres, from pop and blues to acoustic folk and rock.

As a guitar teacher, I have been catering to beginners as well as those at an intermediate level and beyond.
My lessons are a combination of practice and theory so the student will not only learn how to play a chord or a song, but he/she will also understand how chords and scales work together.

I teach every little thing a guitarist should know, like the correct hand techniques, reading music, and music theory (in a very practical way). And can teach all styles, all guitars and all levels.

But most of all, my biggest passion and mission in life is to help you to be more creative and expressive. And the guitar is the best way to achieve it, of course.

I encourage all my students to write music, improvise, and find their own path, voice, and sound on the guitar. Creating music is not only really fun, but it’s also the most valuable way to learn guitar and understand music on a deeper level.

My current guitar students range from complete beginners to advanced guitarists. They want to embrace the joy of music in their lives and unlock their creative potential by improvising, songwriting, and music composing.
Some of them work towards their diplomas and concerts, and I’m happy to support them along the journey and get great results.

I believe that there are many paths to learning guitar, and I accommodate and design a plan according to your individual goals and needs. In the literature, it’s called “student-led”, and I am firmly convinced that this is the most suitable way to learn.
