Bromley Common bus garage is at the junction of Hastings Road and Lower Gravel Road. This is a two minute walk from my house. There are quite a few bus routes that pass this point.

Lesson duration

I teach electric, acoustic and bass guitar lessons in my home studio. I usually teach 30 or 60 minute lessons. Longer lessons are possible if required but for most students, especially beginners, 60 minute lessons are usually enough. The students are free to have their lessons as frequently as it suits them and are not obligated to have them at regular intervals.

Small children usually find 60 minute lessons a bit long and start to lose concentration. My normal advice for them is to only have 30 minute lessons ideally once a week.

If a student comes to my studio for lessons they will benefit as my studio is equipped with top quality amps, drum machines and computer programs like Guitar Pro and Guitar and Drum trainer. Guitar Pro is a guitar tab program that helps learning songs and allows me to give the student tab files in PDF form of any songs they are leaning. Guitar and Drum Trainer is a program that allows me to slow songs down, retune them and create loops for playing along to. All of these benefits make lessons in my studio far more enjoyable and productive.

What I teach

I tailor my lessons to each students requirements. If they only want me to teach them how to strum along to their favourite songs then that is what I do. If on the other hand they want to learn lead guitar, then I teach them the scales they need to know and the technique necessary.

My personal style is Blues through to Heavy Metal but I can teach the basics of Rock, Blues, Rock and Roll, Heavy Metal, Grunge, Punk, 60's Soul, Reggae and most other types of guitar music.

l can teach the Major scale and its modes, the various Minor scales and modes and most other scales from the Diminished to the Lydian flat 7, including when to use them. I can show how to make and play chords, chord progressions and various rhythms and rhythmical styles.

I can teach techniques like strumming, picking, hammer-on's, pull-offs, bending, damping, muting, finger picking, harmonics, tapping, sweep picking and many more. If on the other hand you just want to play Twinkle Twinkle little star or simply strum to an easy song, then that's fine to!

If a student is interested in taking qualifications I recommend the Rockschool graded music exams and I can teach them the sight reading and everything they need to know to enter the exams. These are held at a number of different venues at regular intervals. For more information on Rockschool exams there is a link to their website on the links page. I am also happy to help anyone working on other grading systems to prepare for their exams.
