Adam has been teaching my son since mid 2020, mainly via online lessons. He is clearly an accomplished guitarist and teacher and offers a great mix of both informal and formal training - my son will regularly learn a new solo one week and be onto something new the following week (which is great for keeping him interested! ) but has also just passed Grade 3, which shows it's working! The flexibility of learning online has been great for our family and I would highly recommend Adam to anyone looking to take up the guitar. More...

We are very happy with Adam. He has taught my son for a number of years now, helped him work towards good grade results and as a result, my son is very enthusiastic about playing the guitar. Thank you.

Adam is a great teacher, he listened to my goals and gave me some really useful ideas and materials on structuring improvisation which I'm still working on weeks after finishing the lessons. I plan to have another block of lessons when I can. More...

We discovered Adam when we were looking for someone to help our son, Taylor, with his guitar playing. We needed someone with experience and knowledge of the genre that Taylor loves (Metallica/GNR/Black Sabbath! ) and Adam was able to offer these skills in abundance! Adam is a guitar legend! He is kind, funny and approachable and explains everything really well. Taylor has a natural ability and a fantastic ear but with Adam's guidance we have seen his confidence grow and his skills improve considerably. We are excited about Taylor's musical journey and would recommend Adam to anyone who needs that helping hand. More...

Excellent teaching. I've been able to explore a wide variety of genres from blues to hard rock. Clear and patient guidance on developing my technique resulting in improvement in my tone and confidence playing.

Adam is an amazing teacher: he explains technique and theory in a very understandable way. He is able to always find riffs and songs to practise that are both in my level and in styles I like. More importantly, he is a great person to be around! More...

Adam has been teaching guitar to my daughter for the last year via her secondary school. He continued the lessons online during lockdowns which was excellent, they were very well organised and ran smoothly. My daughter really enjoys lessons. Adam is a good teacher, patient and encouraging. He provides a good variety of learning material. He is reliable and he was happy to rearrange a lesson when my daughter couldn't make. More...

Adam has been teaching my son for over a year and a half and he's been brilliant. All of the lessons have been on Zoom and my nine year old has stayed really interested and motivated by everything he and Adam have learnt together. Adam is patient, organised and balances teaching Ronin current tracks he is interested in with preparing him for grade exams. We highly recommend Adam as a teacher, whatever your guitar level, particularly given how well my son's guitar playing has progressed with him. More...

Adam is a brilliant teacher with a huge amount of patience who has been so good with my son who has some learning difficulties and extra needs. When he started with Adam a few months ago he had never played a guitar in his life - he now plays really well and his confidence has grown enormously. Most importantly of all, he is really enjoying his lessons and practises a lot - and I know from my own experience that it takes an excellent music teacher to inspire such enthusiasm. We are so glad we found Adam - he is perfect for us. More...

Adam has been teaching me for 7m now, after I decided to try to realise a childhood dream to play rock guitar. It can't be easy teaching a musically-challenged 50+ year old, but Adam does it with enthusiastic, patient, good-humour and I enjoy every minute!

Adam has been teaching our 6 year old daughter for approximately 5 months now. We wanted her to learn guitar but COVID made it impossible. She had no previous experience in reading music but hearing the two of them engage via Zoom makes wonderful to listening.

Q&As

Doing the thing I enjoy most - playing and teaching guitar!

Guitar is my passion and I've always enjoyed helping others learn the instrument.

I have 15+ years experience teaching in schools and privately and have worked in a multitude of teaching scenarios (groups, mixed ages/ability, band workshops, school concerts). I have had the fortune of studying privately with several world renowned players and educators; Rick Graham, Martin Goulding and Dave Colquhoun. I am confident in guiding the student towards their goals and my lessons will provide an in-depth understanding into a wide range of styles covering all aspects of technique, rhythm and theory.

Yes - I teach online via Skype & Zoom. Lessons include downloadable PDF and video clips.

I have been teaching exclusively online since March 2020.
