Discover Your Inner Guitar Hero – From Your First Chord to Confident Performer
You want to be a confident and skilled guitar player.
You dream of picking up your guitar and playing music that moves you—and others.
But you’re overwhelmed.
With so many teachers, YouTube tutorials, and conflicting advice, it’s hard to know where to start or what’s actually going to work.
It leaves you feeling frustrated and stuck.
You wonder if you’ll ever really make progress or if you’re just wasting your time.
I believe learning guitar should be exciting, focused, and personalised.
It should inspire you, not exhaust you.
I get it.
I’ve been a beginner. I’ve been lost in the maze of methods and empty promises.

I have had lessons for the last 18 months from Matt and what a pleasure it is. Matt has helped me to go from absolute beginner to a good standard really quickly and I am delighted with my progress. Matt is patient, very professional and teaches in a structured way which I have found really good. You receive constructive, positive feedback again which is really helpful and encouraging. Oh, did I mention, Matt is a brilliant guitar player!
