Hello, I'm Barry, and I'm not just your typical guitar teacher. With nearly two decades of playing experience under my belt, I've developed a unique approach to teaching that sets me apart from the rest. What really makes me stand out is my passion for group guitar lessons, as opposed to the traditional one-on-one format.

What do you love most about your job?
I absolutely love the fact that my job is to share music with others. My whole life all I ever wanted to do was to play music and the fact that I can help others to do the same is my absolute favourite thing in the world!
What inspired you to start your own business?
My whole life I was always told that I would need to have a job to "fall back on" because music was not a viable career choice. For the longest time I was working in jobs that I had no interest in and really didn't like while gigging at weekends to keep my sanity! I eventually started teaching music to see how I got on and it was the best decision I ever made!
Why should our clients choose you?
We "play" guitar so it should be as much fun as possible! People should choose me because I am the happiest guitar teacher in the world! I really love helping people get results as soon as possible. Often times that means glossing over the boring stuff likes scales and theory as it's not necessary to get started making noise. Of course I will certainly be teaching you that at the relevant time but only when it becomes a necessity.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes absolutely! Unless you happen to be in Aberdeen in Scotland all of the services I am offering are online. You'll access the class weekly from the same Zoom link and will learn with people who are at the same stage as you are.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
When necessary I wear a mask and provide sanitiser to all clients that see me in person. For online lessons, I encourage people to do the same when they are taking part in in-person events.

My online guitar classes offer a unique and enriching experience for those who want to learn or enhance their guitar skills.
For starters, I emphasize holistic learning. While I bring almost two decades of experience to the table as your instructor, I also encourage you to learn from your fellow classmates. This collaborative environment ensures a well-rounded learning experience.
In my classes, social learning is a key aspect. It's not just about playing the guitar; it's about forming connections with others who share the same musical passion. You'll build lasting friendships and gain valuable insights from your peers.
I welcome guitarists of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced players. Whether you're just starting out or aiming to refine your technique, you'll find a supportive community tailored to your needs.
We explore a diverse range of musical styles and genres, exposing you to different playing techniques and musical tastes. This diversity keeps our lessons engaging and helps you become a versatile guitarist.
You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, engage in group discussions, and even collaborate on musical projects with your fellow members. It's a dynamic and engaging way to learn.
I provide personalized progress tracking to help you set and achieve your guitar-playing goals. You'll receive feedback, practice tips, and guidance tailored to your individual needs.
The convenience of my online format allows you to participate from the comfort of your home or wherever you have an internet connection. No need to commute to a physical location; you can access classes from anywhere.
Additionally, my classes are a cost-effective way to receive high-quality guitar instruction. You get the benefits of expert teaching and a supportive community without breaking the bank.
Above all, my online guitar classes create a passion-driven environment. I'm here to nurture your love for music and help you reach your full potential as a guitarist.
