After five lessons with a guitar tutor in Spain I was as good as I was after my first lesson....useless. After my first lesson with Matt I achieved more than the five lessons in Spain. I really look forward to my lessons and would thoroughly recommend Matt to teach anyone the joys of learning the guitar. More...

I have just started guitar lessons with Matt. I have been putting off having lessons for years, and was very nervous to start with. Matt put me at ease straight away. He is an excellent teacher: patient, kind and inspiring. I can recommend him to anyone, of any age, who is thinking about having guitar lessons!!!! More...

Matt is an excellent multi-instrumentalist. We have been performing together for 8 years, and that paired with his public teaching experience makes him an excellent private guitar tutor - very knowledgable and patient. He makes learning fun

What do you love most about your job?
I've loved music all of my life and I've been playing the guitar since I was 11 years old and playing in bands since I was 14!
I started out my professional music career when I attended the British Institute of Modern Music and I've been playing live music and teaching ever since.
Why should our clients choose you?
I've done all sorts of jobs in the music industry from recording sessions to playing live in Europe but I have an extensive and varied teaching experience. I started off teaching 1:1 guitar and then gained a PGCE qualification and since then I've worked in schools and became Head of Music at a secondary school and after that, I started FunkyDog Guitar lessons.
