Structured Guitar Lessons for Intermediate Players in Leeds

Develop your fretboard vocabulary. Learn practical theory. Train your ears.

My lessons are structured & student-centered.

Interested in a trial lesson? Get in touch to enquire.

Are my intermediate guitar lessons right for you?

Are you a self-taught player who wants to make sure you’re not developing bad habits, and you want to systematically improve your skills?

Maybe you’ve been playing for years, but realised that you’re stuck and want to know if lessons would help.

Whatever your background, I’d love to help you reach your goals.

How it works

1. Get in touch

We’ll have a quick chat to learn about your goals, and what you might need most help with.

2. Schedule a trial lesson

You’ll be invited to a trial lesson, where we can accurately gauge your level (without it feeling like a test)

3. Choose your plan

Choose weekly lessons for faster progress, or fortnightly for affordability.

Rhythm & Technique

Most self-taught players could do with a bit of an overhaul on their technique.

Need help with strumming? Can’t quite play barre chords cleanly? Are your string bends not quite right? Let’s see if I can help.

Rhythm also plays an important role. I can give specific exercises to help develop ‘internal time’.

In the first session I can assess your current level, and help you improve on your weak points. Every person is unique and there is no “one-size-fits-all”.

Fretboard Knowledge & Music Theory for Guitar

After helping hundreds of guitarists with theory questions, I have developed a course of Music Theory lessons broken down into logical steps for Guitar.

Although ‘theory’ usually suggests written exams and lots of sheet music, it really isn’t that.

Rather than getting a lecture on abstract concepts, you’ll get to know the fretboard through practical exercises.

We can even refer to examples from the artists you like, so that it’s much more relevant.

Ear Training for Guitar

I can help you play what you hear with specific Ear Training exercises.

Ear Training is an essential part of musical development and helps with improvising, learning songs by ear, writing your own music, and playing in a band.

My exercises help you make the connection between your inner ear & strings. You don’t need ‘perfect pitch’ to train your ears!

Styles I teach

I can definitely help you with:

Alternative Rock is still quite a broad scope, as there are many sub-genres to be explored: Garage Rock, Grunge, Punk Rock, Post-Punk, Psych Rock, Surf Rock and more.

We can also cover the basics of:

These are styles that I can play & teach, but I wouldn’t consider myself an expert in. We can cover the basics to a beginner or intermediate level.

Look elsewhere to learn:

I do have 25+ years playing experience, but I simply don’t have enough expertise in these areas. You may still benefit from some music theory, rhythm training, or ear training tuition from me.

If you’re looking to specialise in a specific style, or develop your own voice on the instrument, I’m happy to help. Those looking for a more general approach can expect to be introduced to a whole world of guitar playing.

If this all sounds good, you can go ahead and get in touch below. This is a chance for me to get clarity on your personal struggles, goals, and aspirations.

I look forward to meeting you!
