As a student in my School of Comtemporary Guitar, you can expect to be immersed in the music that you love. Through a learning plan designed and tailored to you, you will experience your knowledge and skills develop exponentially.

Playing the guitar is a journey, and everybody’s guitar learning journey is personal to them. For the most part, learning to play the guitar is transformational on many levels.

It goes without saying – the guitar has superhuman capabilities. As soon as we look at a guitar, it makes us want to play it. When we see someone playing the guitar, we fantasise about being able to play it ourselves. When we begin to learn to play, those fantasies start to become realities. The more we learn, the better we want to become. For some of us, the guitar enables us to become versions of ourselves that we never thought possible.

Check out the video beneath for a personal introduction from me. I’ll also tell you about the three things that every guitar teacher should offer their students.

Jay is the best teacher that I could hope to have. He is infinitely knowledgeable about the guitar, is adaptive, flexible and patient. Jay has a strong ethic to his teaching pathways, ensuring that challenges and pushes without losing sight of the ‘point’ and fun of playing an instrument. He’s also a lovely guy! High recommended!

My son has been having lessons with Jay for around a year after learning with him at primary school and he looks forward to them every week. Jay follows my son’s interests and musical tastes, so that every lesson is engaging and fun. He has an enthusiasm and passion for music that is infectious and is so encouraging. I would highly recommend his teaching!

I have been taking lessons with Jay for 6 months now after picking the guitar back up after a 15 year break. I've found his advice invaluable and he certainly has all the playing experience and modern tools available in order to help you progress.Jay does not do the work for you, he points you in the right direction, and he does a good job of controlling the flow of information for me personally. He answers my questions but also reigns them in too lol and helps if I ask. He makes sure I'm not being weighed down with irrelevant things based on my curent skill level. I recommend Jay as a teacher and a human being!

Jay is a fantastic teacher who takes into account everyone's different learning styles. I highly recommend him, he's helped me a lot. He goes at your speed and he adjusts if he needs to, it's really helpful. He will also help you find another way to work at something if one way doesn't work for you. 10/10.

Jay is a brilliant guitar teacher. I decided to learn the guitar in my early thirties. I expected it to be very difficult, but Jay put me at my ease and helped me see that it's never too late to learn. Jay has a relaxed teaching style and Jay's teaching space is really nice to learn it. It's very chilled, at your pace and Jay immediately puts you at ease. Every lesson is always a pleasure and I highly recommend Jay's teaching to anyone who, like me, is keen to learn the guitar!

Jay has taught our son guitar for a few years now & our son is really growing in confidence, he now plays electric guitar in his school rock band due to feeling confident and skilled enough to perform in front of a crowd. Jays teaching style is wonderful & he always gives our son plenty to be doing until his next lesson with recorded lessons for reference. Jay is a very patient, kind & knowledgable teacher & we would highly recommend.

Jay has worked with my daughter for a few years and personalised every lesson. He is talented, caring and understanding and his love for playing guitar is inspirational. He listens to what she wants to do whilst gently pushing and trying out new things. He makes weekly short videos to help between lessons which is extremely useful. I would highly recommend him.

7 years ago, in the car with my then 7 year old listening to Everlong, E turned to me and said “I could never play that” well, he can and much more! thanks to Jay’s excellent tuition over the years and encouragement to just enjoy it. That’s what E did. Thank you 🙏🏼
