Guitar Lessons

Bradley is a good teacher.
He speaks gently. and explains things in a way that I can understand fully and if I don't understand, then I can ask . I don't need to wait till the next lesson. Just message Bradley. He gets messaging back when he can.
Very positive , and has the patience of a Saint. Thank you Bradley. 👍🙂

Excellent teacher. I have 30 mins lessons weekly and my playing is improving all the time

A friend of mine recommended Bradley’s guitar lessons to me, and rightfully so! Brad is an amazing teacher who’s not only remarkably knowledgeable when comes to playing guitar but very calm mannered too. Brad is so natural at teaching that he always gets the best out of my generally very shy and anxious 8yo boy. More...

⭐️???????????????? A five star guitar teacher without a doubt. My son has been taking lessons with Brad both at school, for over a year,and more recently via Skype. Brad’s professional, clear and calm approach to his lessons means that you can quickly see progress being made. My son always looks forward to his lessons and enjoys playing his guitar in between.

Been learning to play the banjo with Brad for coming up to two years now. His tuition has been essential to keep me progressing and through his support I have now built a wide range of pieces I can play. What I have particularly liked about his tuition is that it has focused on what I wanted to get out of the instrument and has reflected my progress (or lack of it) to build my understanding rather than simply following a predetermined grading structure.

My daughter was struggling with anxiety when she began playing bass guitar with Brad a couple of years ago. He was patient and understanding and encouraged her to come out of her shell. She has since completed her Grade 3 and has been accepted into college to study Music. He has continued to teach to the same excellent standard throughout lock down and delivers lessons over Skype. I can't recommend Brad highly enough! A great teacher! A lovely guy! More...

I’ve been having lessons with Bradley for just over 2 months and would not hesitate in recommending him as a guitar teacher. I’d been playing for a number of years, but never had any formal lessons. Bradley was able to quickly identify the areas (and basics!) I needed to master to help take my playing and musical understanding to the next level. Along with giving this excellent grounding, Bradley also motivates you as pupil to push yourself to be the best player you can. Would highly recommend to guitarists of all levels. More...

My 7 year old granddaughter got a guitar for Christmas and we were lucky to have Bradley recommended to us, he’s got so much patience (I suppose that comes with having small children of his own) She looks forward to going even though she complains how much it hurts her fingers lol Thanks Bradley

We were just in the process of setting up lessons when Covid happened, but Brad setup the Skype lessons and carried on regardless. Dylan had been playing guitar some years but we had found it difficult to find a good tutor locally. Brad has filled that gap brilliantly. Brad has built a rapport with Dylan (even over Skype) and has also switched well between practical and theory to really help set Dylan up. He is always clear with Dylan about what to do between lessons and is great in terms of sign posting to the right resources. We are very happy with the current arrangements :) More...

My 7 year old was desperate to play the guitar , he is normally quite shy. He started face to face lessons with Brad which he looked forward to every week . Brads calm manner , enthusiasm and patience makes him an excellent teacher. He listens to the children and the lesson time flies by. When the pandemic started my son was worried that he would not be able to carry on with his classes, but Brad carried on with his lessons via Skype. These are brilliant lessons and my son continues to improve. We can not recommend Brad highly enough and the Skype lessons are brilliant. More...

My son has been having lessons with Bradley for a few years at school and when school closed, Bradley quickly set up the Skype lessons so that the guitar learning could still carry on uninterrupted. My son has thrived in confidence having one to one lessons with Bradley and is about to submit music for his first exam. The guitar is now out of its bag everyday being practiced! Bradley is very flexible with timings so that it fits in with us. He answers any questions very quickly and always has helpful advice for our son. Our son really looks forward to his lessons every week and loves playing music. Thank you Bradley for making this happen during a very difficult time for families. More...

Brad helped me massively in progressing as a musician (bass player) right from the very beginning around 9 years ago. When Brad announced that he was transitioning to private instrumental tuition, I didn't hesitate in joining him in a more relaxing environment, that being his professional home studio. After Brad mentored me through my choice of grades (now grade 8 level), I finished my A levels and headed to university to study music further. I'm now an active musician in various music projects and regularly gigging bands; I can't thank Brad enough for helping me to develop the key skills and knowledge I needed in order to be where I'm now currently placed within the music industries.

I found Brad on Facebook. I wanted someone to teach me & my husband how to play a particular song on the ukulele & acoustic guitar for a party we were having. We were complete beginners at both. Brad is and was a fantastic find. He’s a great guy, laid back, patient and was just what we needed, taught us the chords that we needed and put it all together for us. We weren’t perfect, but we managed to pull it off! Thanks again Brad More...

Great all round teacher. Started with Brad as a complete beginner having wanted to take lessons for a long time. Above all he is a top guitar player which gives you confidence and he always finds a way to explain things really simply. Very patient when teaching and is always happy to adapt and flex lessons to suit the student, whether you want to focus on technique and working towards grades or just want to learn that one classic riff stuck in your head. Really good teaching set up and has great connections to local musicians if you are looking to join a band. Always encouraged me to perform with others to make me a better player. Would highly recommend to anyone. More...

I would have been one of Brads first pupils, perhaps 13 years ago. He would pop round once a week to strengthen my guitar playing. I was already singing in a band with limited guitar knowledge. Brad helped me enormously with my confidence with structured lessons that developed my guitar playing. The band went from strength to strength and we are still gigging now!

Our eldest daughter (10) has been going to guitar lessons for around 6 weeks and the improvement in her skill and confidence is fantastic. Brad is a patient teacher who puts Lilly at ease and brings out the best in her playing. She is learning songs which she enjoys and is actively involved in helping to choose the next challenge - which keeps her motivated to practice between lessons.The fact she can also work towards recognised qualifications is an added bonus and another motivator for Lilly. From Taylor Swift to Oasis, Brad embraces Lillys own musical enthusiasm and makes the teaching fit her needs exactly. Professional, reliable and easy going. Brad is a natural teacher! More...

Q&As

I love meeting new people and teaching people how to play the instrument I love.

I've always loved playing the guitar and after getting a Saturday job in a local music shop teaching for a couple of years I decided to go out on my own and haven't looked back since.

I'm dedicated to enabling students to reach goals and make it possible to see the progression on a regular basis.

Yes, I do offer one-to-one online as well. Usually, via Skype, this is my preferred online platform, but I do also have access to zoom and Microsoft teams if Skype is not an option for you.

Currently mostly online, but for Face to Face Hand sanitiser available on entry to my studio.

Services

One-to-one online guitar lessons are usually done via Skype.

One-to-one ukulele lessons are usually done via Skype.

One-to-one banjo lessons are usually done via Skype.
