The guitar is a fascinating and versatile musical instrument to play.
I know how exciting and challenging it could be, to pick up a musical instrument like the guitar, and set yourself on a mystery journey of an advenrure, as you learn how to play with it.

My aim, as a private guitar tutor is, to pass on to you a vital skill of which myself over the years have been on the selfsame journey as I keep learning and teaching.

In reasonable time span, you should be playing your favourite tunes on the guitar, having great fun. In due time, l will also be helping you with the basic concepts of the Music Theory underpinning your guitar playing - a universal musical language that enables you interact seamlessly,
and efficiently communicate with other musicians.
Extra information
During these lessions, you are required to bring your own guitar.

About Me
Hey there!

Vick here, Musician/guitarist and most importantly your Guitar Mentor, from Africa based in Manchester UK.

My musical background is rooted in a variety of African traditional rhythms, as well as, in gospel music, Afro-pop music, and Afro-beat.

Also, I am massively influenced by world and western music styles such as western pop and rock music, reggae music, 12 bar blues, and acoustic folk music.

It's quite a rich palette of musical experience and influence, which I suppose places me in a good place so that, I will be able to craft a unique sounding sound, making a distillate out of such a rich palate.

As your Guitar Tutor my primary motivation is to enable you, my students, to teach by guiding, so that you should progressively acquire the needed guitar player skill and techniques, eventually leading you to the kind of playing and mastery that should surely enable you as a motivated student, to turn out as flexible as can adapt your guitar playing and music to fit into any genre you may choose to play with. Basics of Music Theory also helps a good deal!

In my guitar class one of my cornerstone performance and achievement goal is to, get my students to be able to manage the pressure that comes with this guitar learning adventure; get you to relax, have some fun, enjoy learning as they experience the thrill on the way to scoring their goal. And soon you should be enjoying your hard and won achievement if you kept on course and did not chicken- out.

The guitar is a star and fascinating of musical instruments . Such a beautiful gadget that anyone would want to have a go at it, even if it's only to feel the touch of it.

The first time I saw the guitar that's how I felt but also I was at a loss what the various parts that form the instrument were, what exactly are they for and what do they do.

Many guitar fans are out there, some dreaming about playing the guitar but who seem at sea too as to where to start and how to go about it. For many the shape and the decorations on the guitar body is a great puzzle that needs answers.

In this introductory class my aim is to get you to derive more fun from, and deeper interest in the guitar as your favourite musical instrument.

In the end you will be fully enabled to give a good account of your guitar body parts both to yourself and to other curious outsiders so to speak. It should turn your learning to play the guitar proper more of a fun and enjoyable experience as any guitar student who come under my tutelage should testify.

Nathan
Nathan has been playing Guitar and studying Music for over 15 years, from Primary School right through to the current day in University. Beginning just under a year ago, Nathan has thoroughly enjoyed passing on his enthusiasm and passion for Guitar and Music alike through tutoring. Nathan has several qualifications in Music, including GCSE, A Level and First Class honours in Musical Arts (BA) and, starting with a Masters, he hopes to add to these qualifications in the future. Nathan’s teaching style revolves around his students and therefore adapts to the different students he is teaching, considering their skill level, age and personality when approaching each lesson. Alongside teaching, Nathan is hugely passionate about playing in his Function Band, recording and mixing songs and of course listening to music almost none stop.

Nathan teaches Guitar from beginners to intermediate level players and teaches Music Theory up to grade 5 of all ages. Nathan’s lessons include breaking down the fundamentals of both guitar ad theory, from posture, fingering technique, scales, arpeggios, chords, rhythm, melody and anything else the student wishes to learn. He will teach any exam boards requested, preparing his students for their respective exams by breaking down each technical component previously mentioned with specific focus given to each section of the exam. Whether the student wishes to focus on melody, rhythm, chords or just playing their favourite band’s songs, he will devote all his energy to providing the required tutoring in helping his students fulfil these wishes, whilst enjoying themselves in the process.

Nathan will give his all to teaching as many genres as he possibly can, although has vast experience in classical and pop music, particularly Funk, Rock and Jazz. His first lesson with any student will be relaxed, with the aim of figuring out the students skill level and what they wish to achieve through their lessons. The student simply needs to let Nathan know their priorities in terms of what they wish to learn and their enthusiasm in achieving this. It is common for Nathan to prepare warm-up exercises for his students, such as stretching exercises for the wrists and hands, along with exercises to develop the technique of each hand, for example finger/plectrum exercises and chromatic scales.
