Guitar Lessons With Tom
Student-led guitar lessons focussing on your goals as a musician. Whether that be picking up the guitar for the first time, or you are looking to take your playing to the next level.
What Will Lessons Involve?
My musical background is classic rock and metal, but I have a diverse repertoire meaning I can teach you a wide range of styles. Whether you'd like to learn some chords on the acoustic guitar to play at parties or you want to learn complex guitar solos like the guitar greats, I can help you reach your musical goals. These lessons are entirely tailored to each individual, so some students may want to go through the professional grades, for which we can use the Rock School curriculum, or we can simply discuss your goals, pick some songs to work towards and go from there. We can even go through basic theory, all the way to the advanced stuff! To top this off, your first lesson is COMPLETELY FREE!

About Me
From a very young age, I was very fortunate to be around musicians, particularly my dad who is a guitarist. I picked up the guitar and began messing around on the instrument at around 2 years of age, and since then I was hooked. Through primary school I started to be in school bands and take part in talent shows, and even played guitar in a few family parties. By secondary school, I knew exactly what I wanted to do; I wanted to play guitar for a living. It was then that I started to take music through the levels of education and I am very proud to have taken it all the way up to master's level. In amongst the educational side of it, I have written and released music, been a part of multiple band projects, and have gotten to meet lots of really cool people in the music industry.

It is now time for me to give back and teach people to do what I love to do the most, play the guitar. My guitar teaching experience comes from teaching in primary schools, but all ages are welcome. It is never too late to pick up and instrument for the first time! Unlock the inner rockstar and begin your guitar journey with me today.
Here are some examples of my guitar playing. The first video is a cover of a song called 'By The Sword' by Slash, and the second video is a Rockabilly interpretation of the song 'Tainted Love'.
