How good do you feel about your guitar playing at the moment?
Are you frustrated with your guitar skills and you often doubt your musical talent?
Have you been trying to teach yourself guitar from DVD’s and the Internet, without success?
Have you lost your motivation to practice and you feel as if reaching your goals is unrealistic?
Have you just picked up the guitar for the first time (or are you considering taking it up)?
Are you a more advanced player looking to take your playing to the next level?
Do you feel as if your progress is really slow compared to other musicians at your level ?
Are you wary of spending even more time and money on ineffective learning methods?
Become the guitarist you always wanted to be!
Imagine how great you will feel whenever you pick up your guitar and play the music you want.
Imagine what it would be like to play guitar the way you always dreamt about.
Imagine how great it will be to write your own songs, play in a band or just enjoy playing your favourite songs.
Playing guitar the way you want is a realistic goal that can be achieved much easier and faster with the right teacher
and an effective long term teaching strategy and methods that have already given some great results to other guitar students.
The best way to move forward with your guitar playing is to work with a teacher with a proven track record
of helping people reach their guitar playing goals. Someone who will teach you and develop your playing so that you
are able to play guitar they way you want to in the shortest amount of time possible.
1. Learn how to walk before you run.
The biggest problem of learning from YouTube, DVD’s or even books is that you don’t know if the information provided there is applicable to you at that point of your musical education.
Sometimes even if the content is right you might not be learning it in the right order. Also the author of any instructional video or book doesn’t know you personally plus knows nothing about your musical goals or your current skill level.
Imagine learning to run before you can walk. How far would you actually get? Learning with a great guitar teacher will help you to learn in the right way so that you waste no time and reach your goals much faster than with other methods.
2. Get a correct demonstration of how to play guitar and get your questions answered.
Are you sure that the person in front of you on Youtube really knows what he/she is doing? Do they do it in the most efficient and effective way? Would they take any responsibility for teaching you the wrong way? In addition, if you learn from a book or from an online course, how do you ask questions if you are not sure about something? With a great guitar teacher you can be sure that if you have a problem you can get it resolved so that you can focus on enjoying your progress rather than chasing your tail wondering what you should be doing.
3. Stay Motivated.
A great guitar teacher understands how frustrating it can be from time to time to learn guitar when things just don’t seem to work or make sense. Remember that most likely at in the beginning your teacher used to struggle himself/herself.
One of biggest advantages of taking lessons from a great guitar teacher is to get an inspiration, encouragement and understanding. Knowing that you have someone to support your development
and learning is the greatest asset in taking guitar lessons. Expert feedback coupled with personalised support and guidance means that you simply cannot fail! Do other learning methods provide you with this?
Having someone there to help motivate you when you feel like giving up is the primary reason that students who learn with a teacher prosper and continue to develop far longer than those that have no such support to keep them motivated.
4. Learn how to practice guitar and monitor your progress.
Unfortunately guitar lessons alone don’t make you a better guitar player. It’s how you invest your time between lessons that really counts. A great guitar teacher will help you to use your time wisely, helping you come up with an effective and personalised practice strategy for maximum results in the shortest amount of time. The practice routines depend heavily on the student’s goals and it is very important to tweak them to get the most out of your precious practice time. The most frustrating part of teaching yourself is not knowing what to practice and how to avoid things that are irrelevant. A great teacher will help you get back on the right track of reaching your musical goals.
5. Stay on the right track and get support you need.
A great guitar teacher understands that sometimes other things stay get in the way of guitar.
It is good to have someone to remind you how important a part of your life is your creativity and passion for music is. Seeing a teacher regularly is the best way of ensuring that your playing is on the right track and that you are moving forward and improving with your guitar playing. With a great teacher you will get feedback on your playing every week. That will help you to focus on achieving your long term musical goals.
6. Have fun with like-minded musicians.
Playing music with others is the biggest reward of playing any instrument. In a group of people music makes more sense.
How often do you make music with others?
Even if you do not want to play at the O2 Arena, playing music with other people is beneficial to your playing, builds self-confidence and is simply great fun and very rewarding. A great teacher runs jam classes, workshops and other group events designed to boost your playing whilst having fun making music with others. Guitar lessons and jam sessions are also the best way of finding a band mate.
7. Save TIME and MONEY.
You could spend months or even years wasting time and money on other guitar learning tools such as books, DVDs or online courses and still not make much progress. There is so much information out there these days that it is very hard to find out what you should be learning to move you forward.
With a good teacher you can guarantee that the information that you are given is exactly what you need, when you need it. Therefore you do not waste any time or money on ineffective methods and courses promising the ultimate short cut to great guitar playing.

“There are lots of average guitar teachers in London, here’s what I do different to help you become a better guitar player”
|
What can you expect from a normal guitar teacher:
|
What can you expect from me:
|
|
|
How will you find out what I want to learn and what I need to do to reach my musical goals?
|
Most likely normal guitar teacher will ask you what bands do you like and what song do you want to learn? They will never ask you what is your ultimate musical goal. That means they will never be able to create an effective long term strategy to take you where you ultimately want to be.
|
I will invite you for a free evaluation session that will help me to establish what is your ultimate goal as a guitar player. This session will help me to choose the best and the most effective strategy to make you a guitar player you want to be . I have found that a lot of guitar students don’t know what they really want or they can not verbalise that yet. Sometimes they think that certain goals are unattainable. I think its fair enough. I am here to help you discover a lot of cool things about guitar so the best way is to keep your mind open;-)
|
|
Do you have an effective long term strategy to get me where I want to be as a guitar player?
|
Most likely normal guitar teachers will not even consider having any plan.They just gonna wing it from lesson to lesson. There are many reasons behind this. Most teachers around teach guitar part-time to get some spare cash. They are usually students or music fans. They really don’t have time to refine their teaching methods
|
From our evaluation session I will know exactly where you are at with your guitar playing and where you want to be. I will work out the long term strategy based on your goals and current challenges.
|
|
How will you motivate me to practice?
|
Most guitar teachers will tell you that you have to practice more!
|
I have found that practicing guitar more won’t help you alone. I believe that having a goal to work towards is the best motivation to practice. During our evaluation session I will establish your short and long term goals and we will set up some goals. For beginner students it is usually learning a song, for more advanced students it could be writing a song or even performing music in live environment. My students have found that the best way to get motivated is to take part in my student events and jam sessions. I encourage my students to team up and start their own music projects. We use our student forum to communicate and set things up. I have a good circle of local musicians willing to make music with people like you, so don’t wait – get in touch now!
|
|
Do you provide any support outside the lesson?
|
No. The supports end after the lesson.
|
Unlike normal guitar teachers I give an additional support to my guitar students. I organise special free student events and master classes. Also, my students have an access to private student forum where they can get any question answered. They can find a lot of additional learning resources such as backing tracks, special tutorials and extra feedback on their playing.
|
|
How can you prove good results?
|
Most teachers can’t prove that!
|
Go to my testimonials section or student events to find out what they have to say about lessons with me.
|
|
How do you record my progress?
|
Most guitar teachers don’t do that and some even forget what they taught from lesson to lesson.
|
I help my students to set some short and long term musical goals and then we work together on achieving them. After the certain goal is met we record it either on video or audio so we have a proof of where we are at. I also record lessons for student’s revision in between lessons. The best way to keep the track of your progress is to perform at my student events and jam sessions.
|
|
How will you help me to practice effectively and make the most of my time between lessons?
|
Most teachers don’t actually bother with telling students how to practice. They will maybe give you some general tips on what to practice.
|
I designed a special session only for my students on how they should practice guitar effectively. I teach my students at the very beginning what are the most effective practice routines.
|
|
How will you help me to overcome the problems I have with my guitar playing?
|
Normal guitar teachers focus only on teaching their students songs without focusing on the cause of the problems students have. For example if the student can not change chords fast the teacher will tell the student to practice more which won’t help effectively on it’s own. Because it’s not dealing with a core of the problem
|
During our introductory session I will make you aware of any problems you are having and I will keep monitor your progress and help you develop a better and more effective way of playing guitar. We will gradually remove all stumbling blocks from your guitar playing. I will always give you the most effective solution
|
|
Will you teach me how to apply the information from the lesson?
|
No. Most guitar teachers only demonstrate the information and expect student to get it. After they move on to new topic.
|
My guitar students found it very useful not only to learn the new information but also find the multiple ways to apply it. My teaching is based on playing music not just studying music. Watch my students playing live! That is the best application of the lesson content and most fun as well!
|
|
I am looking for the cheapest option around! Hopefully your lessons are not too expensive?
|
Normal guitar teachers don’t have a lot of students and they will try to attract you with very low rates. Have you ever bought a product that was really cheap but it broke down and you had to either pay to fix it or buy a new good one?
|
I fix cheap guitar lessons and the damage average teachers cause to their students. Great guitar teacher is always in demand and require a fair payment for his services. In return you can expect an outstanding service and results you are paying for I have many flexible price plans and programmes available to people on any budget, however I would like to let you know I am definitely not the cheapest option around. Think that you are buying a new car. Are you going to look at the price or quality? Would you like to drive an old Fiat or a nice and comfortable Mercedes. There is a difference in how these two cars drives. Same with my lessons.
|
|
How long have you been in a teaching business? What is your teaching experience?
|
Most wannabe guitar teachers will lie on their website that they have been teaching for 8-10 years and yet they are still in their 20′s -Isn’t that weird? It would mean they started teaching at the age of 12 or 15!!! Don’t believe in anything you read on the websites – the proof is in music and results of guitar students
|
I have been helping people like you to become great guitarists for more than 5 years and unlike other guitar teachers around I can prove that! Watch my students playing live music and hear what they have to say about lessons with me. The proof is in music! Some wannabe teachers will tell you how many degrees they have in music but they can’t prove they taught anyone -don’t be their guinea pig! I have been in a teaching business for almost 5 years. Now you can find out about how old is this website and other that I own www.londonguitartuition.com Check with WHOIS services what is the start date of my websites to get the proof and check the sites of other guys around to find out the truth about them!
|
|
What style do you teach? My local guitar teacher can play in any style! From classical guitar, flamenco to metal!
|
Most guitar teachers will tell you anything you want just to get your money. The truth is that you can’t learn how to be a rock star from a jazz or classical guy!
|
Unlike many teachers around I decided to teach what I do the best! I specialise in rock genres like: melodic, classic rock, blues, heavy metal to neo-classical/progressive metal. I don’t believe in being a jack of all trades. If you have a tooth ache do you go to a GP or a dentist? Same with guitar if you want t play jazz study with a pro jazz guitar teacher -if you want to be good at metal study with metal guitar teacher- choose
|
|
Some teachers come to students homes. Would you be willing to travel to my place? Also I have a teacher living just around the corner why should I bother to travel to your place?
|
Yes! A lot of average teachers will do that because they are not in high demand. They are not very successful teaching many great students so they will do anything to make you their guinea pig.
|
Unlike those other teachers around that travel to their students I teach from my location. I have a pretty large number of students and it will be impossible to do that. Most likely the other teachers to don’t do it full time like me. I run it as a full-time business and I make sure my clients get top notch service. If you study from a music student or an amateur – don’t expect great results. Sure we all like the convenience – life is so easy, but isn’t that strange that you base your choice on such an irrelevant factor? If you go to a hairdresser to you go to the nearest shop or you actually go so someone you trust. If you care so much about how you look why don’t you care a bit more about the person
|
|
Would you teach me how to play my favorite songs?
|
Of course! I will teach you any song you want. You just need to show up and I will show you everything note for note!
|
The best way to learn songs is to understand composers who wrote them. By understanding the ideas they implemented you will be able to learn any song you want without my help in the future. I will teach you this skill by showing you the process of composition and all techniques and chords involved in particular song. I am not a fan of learning songs mindlessly. I believe that understanding of the process is the key to get songs right. Now the best way to play your favorite songs is to be able to write your own songs which is something a lot of my students do.
|
|
What are your credentials as a guitar teacher?
|
Normal guitar teachers are usually music students looking to make some spare cash or they are passionate musicians who want to become professional musicians and teachers who will earn some teaching experience at your expense.
|
My biggest credential as a guitar teacher is my proven experience and great results of my students. You can see it on this website. Please browse the site and check student events section as well as student testimonial videos. The proof is in music! Also unlike other guitar teachers around I constantly work on improving my teaching skills. I am a member of Elite Guitar Teacher’s Inner Circle programme run by the World’s most successful on-line guitar instructor Tom Hess.
|
Throughout my guitar teaching career and helping people just like you how to play guitar I discovered something that I always had in my mind at the beginning of my guitar experience. It was a fear of failure as a musician and all social consequences that comes with it. I questioned myself if I am good enough? or do I have any talent to play music?
The possibility of failure prevents many talented people just like you from taking up an instrument and learn how to play it. It also prevents good guitarists from becoming great players. Remember that with my understanding of the learning process and experience in helping others just like you it doesn’t have to be that way. I have developed teaching strategies and systems that will make you a player you always wanted to be! See proof here
There will never be a better time in your life to work on your guitar skills! How many times have you put your dreams about playing music on hold until life gets easier? The problem is that life never gets easier because sooner or later something new comes up and you make another excuse not to do it right now;-(
Successful musicians have found that in order to become great players they had to fit in guitar practice and lessons into their current busy schedule. I promise you that all great musicians you admire had to go to school, had to go to work or even support their families just like you, while working on their music skills. They were no more talented than you are and they had no more time than what is available to you. They just didn’t make the mistake of putting their musical dreams on hold but instead they took action!
My guitar students have found that it is possible to improve as a musician regardless their busy work schedules, having children and other commitments. Becoming a great guitar player is not a matter of talent but your own choice. Are you ready to take action?

P.S.
The sooner you get started with guitar lessons with me, the sooner you will end your frustration
and start improving and having a lot of fun from the whole guitar experience.
Many people want to become great guitar players, but few are willing to take the simple steps that it takes.
P.P.S.
My guitar students are living proof of how you can dramatically improve your guitar skills and have a lot of fun at the same time.
With the long term teaching strategy based on your musical goals, your potential and effective practice you are going
to become the guitar player you always dreamed of becoming.
