Zach Boyd

With over 13 years of professional experience as a guitarist in the music industry and a music degree from Leeds Conservatoire, I bring a depth of knowledge, skill, and real-world insight to every lesson I teach. My background spans live performance, studio recording, songwriting, and collaborative projects across multiple genres, giving me a versatile understanding of what today’s musicians need to grow. Having trained in an environment that demands both creativity and discipline, I’m able to break down complex musical concepts into practical, enjoyable steps that help students progress quickly and confidently. Whether you’re aiming to master foundational techniques, develop expressive lead playing, understand music theory more clearly, or prepare for auditions, gigs, or recording sessions, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style. My approach combines structured guidance with the flexibility to explore the music that inspires you, ensuring that lessons stay engaging and motivating. Above all, I aim to help students build not only technical ability but also musical identity—the ability to sound like you on the instrument. With a commitment to patience, clarity, and professional standards, I strive to create a supportive space where players of all levels can develop their skills and enjoy meaningful, long-term musical growth.
