Guitarist with 22 years’ experience teaching all levels in rock and metal

Hi, I’m Ben — a professional guitarist with over 22 years of experience and formal training from North Herts College and the Academy of Music and Sound. I’m passionate about helping students of all ages and levels develop their skills, confidence, and creativity on the guitar.

My teaching is grounded in real-world playing, songwriting, and performing, combined with a strong foundation in music theory and technique. I take pride in offering structured, supportive, and engaging lessons tailored to each student’s goals.

I bring both professional knowledge and personal dedication to every lesson. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced player, you can expect a friendly, focused, and professional learning experience.

I take a flexible, student-focused approach to tutoring—adapting each lesson to your goals, experience, and musical taste. Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or refining advanced techniques, I’ll guide you step by step with clear, practical advice. Lessons typically last 60 minutes and include warm-ups, technique building, learning songs or solos, and exploring music theory in a way that’s directly connected to your playing.

I create a relaxed, supportive environment where you can grow in skill and confidence. I have over 22 years of experience as a guitarist, performer, and songwriter, with formal training from North Herts College and the Academy of Music and Sound (BTEC Level 2 First Diploma and Level 3 Extended Diploma).

I combine real-world playing experience with structured music education to help students at every level. My lessons are suitable for all ages and all skill levels—from complete beginners to advanced players.

Whether you're into rock, metal or songwriting, I'm here to help you reach your musical goals.
