Paul W
Experienced Guitar Tutor Professional Musician
I'm Paul and I have been teaching electric and acoustic guitar for 27 years. I have worked for Cheshire County Council and Manchester Council for 20 years teaching in various schools. Lessons are online. In my approach to teaching I want the student to be able to understand the fundamentals of the guitar, fretboard awareness knowing all the notes on the fretboard, knowledge of scales and how they relate to chords and harmony.This gives the student the ability to improvise and develop their own voice on the guitar.I think it is important to set a regular practice routine to set goals.I encourage...

Will M
Experienced guitar teacher Guitar Guitar & music teacher
I have over 5 years of teaching experience, mainly in person, but also online. I am a 1-1 music tutor and teach both acoustic and electric guitar. The format of my lessons is very basic, but it works. We start off a normal lesson by playing some warm up exercises. After that, work on whatever your goal may be (a new song, music exam, learning about the guitar etc). I will provide material for us to work through if you aren't sure on the next direction to go in and improve your overall playing. You will never feel pressured in one of my lessons and they are kept light-hearted and fun. The first...

George E
I'm new to Tutorful and just checking it out. My guitar playing has always been kind of uncomplicated and I've always been lazy with learning theory. George was exactly the tutor I needed to remedy this. He was well-prepared, covered exactly what I wanted to know about, and explained it very clearly. He was also very patient and really went the extra mile to make sure we got through everything he had planned even though I ran late (which won't happen again!).
I am not sure that I will actually stick with online lessons on Tutorful as I'm finding the platform rather buggy and tricky to use, but I don't want to go without recommending George. I would even prefer to do in-person lessons with him if I can make it work with my schedule

That's a common concern for parents. In a competitive academic environment, creative skills like guitar are incredibly valuable. They demonstrate discipline, creativity, and dedication on UCAS applications. More importantly, they provide a vital outlet for self-expression and build a type of confidence that can't always be found in the classroom.
