Starting from scratch
Build comfortable technique, useful chords and real songs from your very first lessons.
Meet your teacher
Hi, I’m Nick.
I’m an experienced guitar teacher based in Liverpool city centre, and I’ve taught pupils of all ages across a wide range of musical styles.
Lessons start with the music you actually want to play. Whether you’re picking up a guitar for the first time, returning after a long break or looking to sharpen your technique, we’ll build a clear path around your pace and goals.
Lessons shaped around you
Start where you are. Play where you want to go.
There is no standard route through guitar. Nick adapts each lesson to your experience, the music you enjoy and the progress you want to make.
Getting back into it
Shake off the rust, rebuild confidence and rediscover why you picked up the guitar.
Developing your playing
Work on rhythm, lead playing, theory, improvisation or the techniques holding you back.
Learning together
Learn alongside a friend or family member with lessons available for two or more people.
Your first lesson
No audition. No pressure. Just a guitar.
Your first lesson is a relaxed chance to meet Nick, play a little and work out what you would genuinely enjoy learning.
