Guitar, bass & ukulele lessons for adults

No syllabus, no pressure, no homework you didn't ask for. Just the songs you love, tabbed out for you, at a pace that fits your actual life. Starting fresh or picking it back up after 20 years — I've got you.

Learn at your own pace

Whether you're a complete beginner or coming back to an instrument you used to play, we go at your speed — not a timetable's. I'll never rush you, and I'll never make you feel like you're behind.

No pressure, no judgement. We move as quickly or as gently as suits you, and you'll leave every lesson with something you can actually play.

  • Absolute beginners welcome — no question is too basic.
  • Flexible scheduling — book around work and life.
  • Guitar, bass or ukulele — whatever you want to play.

Your songs, tabbed out for you

Tell me the songs you've always wanted to play and I'll transcribe them — accurate tab, arranged so it actually fits your hands. Forget squinting at dodgy tabs online; I'll write them out properly and show you the shortcuts.

No rigid syllabus

A plan shaped around your goals and tastes — not a course book.

Build real technique

Chords, strumming, fingerpicking, lead — whatever you need, step by step.

Studio-quality sound

You'll hear every note properly, every single lesson.

Lessons & pricing

Simple, flexible and no hidden extras. Prices are per lesson, charged pro-rata — pay individually or block-book to save.
