Guitar lessons. Learn to play guitar, ukulele or bass.

From 60.74 £ /h

I teach music online (Skype, Zoom, Whatsapp...) and in-person in Brussels and Waterloo, Belgium. Nearly 30 years of experience. 800+ students taught.

All lessons are individual lessons (no group classes). The focus is on learning modern styles of the past, say, 80 years: rock, blues, jazz, reggae, singer-songwriter, folk, pop, country, bossa nova... rather than older classical or traditional Spanish guitar music.

Also, I arrange band workshops, recording workshops, and learn to jam sessions, to get you playing with other musicians and performing/recording. This has resulted in two local rock bands... The Manneken Pistols and The KBH Boogie Band who both play regularly around Brussels and who were featured recently on Bruzz TV.

" UNIQUE "
What if telling your story with music could be fun and playful?

Don't waste hours going around in circles, constantly searching for videos on YouTube to learn in a simple and structured way.

To finally be able to express your feelings, your emotions, all through the guitar?

It's possible! And what we'll see through my lessons: you'll learn how to tune the instrument, practice its first chords, and quickly play your first songs.

Develop your ear and musical identity by exploring styles such as pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, bossa nova, funk just to name a few.

Discover and explore the richness of scales and modes to combine them with playing expressions like hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato, bends... Does that sound like Chinese to you? I understand. Through my lessons, all of this will no longer hold any secrets for you!

Whether you have no experience or a few weeks of practice under your belt, we will go step by step, taking into account your level, so that you progress at your own pace.

Without forgetting the most important thing: have fun!

If you want to discover the guitar or improve your skills, this class is for you! Learn while having fun or pushing your limits! I agree with all tastes (folk, rock, jazz, etc ...) and I adapt to all the rhythms of learning (discovery or practice).

My goal is to teach you the guitar by putting a point of honor to the pleasure of playing. The learning of an instrument should not be done in the constraint, but in the good mood and the love for the music.

Guitarist in the bands New Age of French Stone and Stella & TChang. Congratulation of the jury to the final examination of CIAM Bordeaux. Great experience of the current music scene. Guitar teacher for over 5 years.

Private guitar class in classical, acoustic or electric at my home. Possibility of group classes. I am located in Schaerbeek near the place Lietds.

I am a Frenchman of about thirty years, I studied music for several years and I practice the guitar for over 15 years. I taught it to young and old, in groups or in private lessons. I teach most often for beginners but also for more advanced levels. I also had the opportunity to give lessons to people with difficulties, including blind people or people with reduced mobility. I have also taught a lot in the United Kingdom so I can give my lessons in English.

I enjoy sharing and following the evolution of my students. I will find you the best way for you to gradually learn to play this instrument but also to understand and use music in general. I can teach you at the same time as solfeggio or following the tabs, grids chords .. We can also focus on styles or songs that you like but I would encourage you to discover, practice, evolve ..

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision

Note :

- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

I work in detail. I pay particular attention to the student's position so that they don't have any muscle problems. I encourage students to play whatever they like if the difficulty of the piece matches the student's level. I play pieces for students to introduce them to the classical guitar repertoire.

Posture and comfort with the instrument are the foundation for playing the guitar. I often make the connection with other musical instruments such as percussion, wind instruments and singing.

Separating and understanding the roles of the two hands is another important step in the course. One hand plays the rhythm and the other plays the notes on the fretboard. There are many exercises to develop the knowledge and skills of both hands.

Music is one the most approachable and expressive arts. It is a worldwide way of connecting with people, a language that everyone is potentially fluent. But most of all music is a shelter, whether you're a professional or you do it as a hobby.

I can share my knowledge with you about an art I deeply love and I can help you express yourself the way you meant to. Through the years I have had students of all ages from early primary school students to 60 year old young artists. I will form a teaching approach based on your needs and your unique way of learning and after the first few lessons you'll be able to enjoy the outcome of this programme.

I am 28 years old and I started studying music at the age of 12. In 2017 I got a degree on classical guitar from the conservatorium "Musical Horizons" in Athens. In 2024 I got my bachelor's degree in "Music Technology and Acoustics". Through the years I have taken guitar lessons from many different professionals of different genres on electric guitar, so I can confidently say that I have formed a spherical approach on the instrument. Since 2017 I have been making a living as a musician performing and giving lessons, so my focus and time is completely dedicated to music.
