Learn Acoustic & Electric Guitar or Bass with Islington's top guitar tutor!

Beat the Coronovirus Blues by actually playing the Blues :)


With the Virus threat and self-isolating now is the perfect time to learn guitar. I will help you at whatever stage you're at, if you are just starting out to Intermediate-advanced players with fun and friendly lessons.

With over 20 years of teaching experience and my unique approach to learning, you will not only make the quickest progress possible but have a lot of fun on the way.

• Are you an absolute beginner no idea where to start?
• Are you finding that the books and DVDs don’t seem to help you progress?
• Want to play that song you’ve had in your head?
• Always wanted to play that Jimi Solo?
• Got a guitar gathering dust but never got around to playing?
• Stuck in a rut - Can’t stop playing the same old riffs?
• Want to be able to play over the entire fretboard?
• Want to know what scales fit with what chords and vice versa?
• Music Theory - the hows and whys.

With your first steps into guitar playing, it is very important that you develop good technique - from holding the guitar in the correct position to exercises to help improve your strength and timing. With good technique, everything becomes easier, and once learned you’ll never forget it!

You’ll find that one-to-one lessons tailored to your pace of learning and the style you want to play will get quicker results than books and instruction video alone.

With my style of teaching, I focus on getting you playing the things you really want as quickly as possible. So whether you just want to strum a few singalongs or write your own, play some blues or get the funk out one to one lessons is the best way to achieve your goals and keep motivated.

It is a steep learning curve at the beginning but I have tried and tested methods to get you playing without difficulty Learn how to strum and change chords quickly and easily. Learn to play songs you really want to learn. I can transcribe any song and show you how to play it.

I have maintained a professional teaching schedule with over 1000 students taught in one-to-one private lessons. With over 20 years of teaching experience and my unique approach to learning will not only make the quickest progress possible but have a lot of fun on the way.

I have two locations: Angel, Islington (Upper Street N1 2BH)
or at my Recording studio in Finsbury Park. N4 Fully soundproofed (We can crank up the volume)
I have 11 guitars to choose from and full recording facilities available. so if you want to record a song you have written we can do that too :)

Thanks

I am a university student currently working towards my DipABRSM in classical guitar. I have been teaching students now for over a year, and provide a good quality service for students learning ABRSM grades1-5. Above this grade, I would be happy to consider teaching depending on the individual. I am also happy to teach pop/acoustic songs, which are more based on chords.
The classes would be for as long as you wish, but the average of lessons I hold are about an hour. I will be working in London until July. Then, I will be working in Paris. I am also doing Zoom classes due to COVID, so this is also an option.

The guitar is a beautiful instrument, in my class you will learn from the basics of the instruments to the most advanced techniques exploring, studying and analysing in depth different tunes, chord progressions, scales, arpeggios, substitutions etc of all types of music genres, always remained focused on what are your goals and what you want to play to make you become a better musician.

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.

Guitar can become your great friend and companion. From solo performance of finger style ballads to joining other musicians to express yourself theres easy ways to learn and enjoy the process.

In the class we will jam and explore sound together with guidance of tracks you are inspired by, we breakdown what the songs are made of and integrate riffs, melodies, chord progressions all into one cohesive musical experience.

As a songwriter and producer myself I recommend to develop vocals along with learning your instrument.
Holistic approach to music gets you enjoying the process immediately

I teach guitar, improvising, songwriting and music theory for any level, from complete beginner, to advanced. I have spent the my last 4 years at the Royal Academy of Music, studying Jazz Guitar and Composition with some of the best teachers in the world and I am now keen to share this knowledge and get more people inspired and involved in the world of music.
Although I studied Jazz, I started off playing Rock and Pop guitar, so I am able to teach those genres as well. I like to tailor the lessons to my student's individual tastes and needs so that they can benefit the most from it and also get the most inspiration.
I have taught private lessons for 6 years and have had great feedback from students and have seen students improve rapidly in just a few lessons.

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!

It might be easy to find an average guitar teacher, but genuine insight is much harder to come by - over the years, I've seen it all, and I want to use my experience to help you!

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.
- Taught 1-on-1 and ensemble lessons both privately and in schools, with a wiiiiide range of ability levels.
- 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...)
- Have composed/arranged music for national TV ad campaigns (TUI, Redbull and Vodafone IE)
