I found Mark on YouTube and decided to give the Free First Skype Lesson a go. Mark's advice and constructive suggestions nourished my playing and has inspired me to continue playing and writing music. So much more to explore with this dude!

Just had my first lesson with Mark, in the space of an hour he picked up exactly what I needed and gave me the best lesson I have ever had. I definitely will have more.

ONE ON ONE VIDEO CONSULTATION

Diagnosis

Most students already have learned from a variety of sources before they even come to me. Usually there's just one or two simple 'tweaks' I can figure out in just a few minutes, that can have  the most impact on your guitar playing. Sometimes this advice is so profound, it's all you'll need to get you on your way. But for that to happen, I'll need to see you play (scary I know) Take advantage of the vast professional experience I bring. Get in touch today to find out more and to reserve your lesson. I can't wait to meet you!

ADVANCED PRO STUFF

Sound like a professional

I know how difficult it can be to figure out what's missing in your playing. Is it tone? Is it lead? Is it your thinking process? As an experienced and passionate Guitar Teacher, I believe in an approach that gives students positive, constructive ways to learn. I design my lessons according to my students’ needs, with an emphasis on confidence-boosting activities.
