About John
A professional guitarist and songwriter with over 10 years' experience. I regularly release music under my own name and can be found on all major streaming sites. I have worked as a session guitarist and bass player for artists in performances throughout London and the UK. I have taught in schools and privately, and continue to teach in Nottingham schools (secondary and primary) and Southwark Music service as a part-time tutor. Additional areas which may interest my learners, and add value to their lessons include, - A great deal of experience in music production, having written, mixed, and mastered works for myself, other artists, and documentary film-makers using Sibelius and Logic Pro X. - I hold a degree in Music performance from Leeds University, and a Master's degree from Goldsmiths College in Popular Music Studies. - I hold a valid UK DBS check.

Whether you're taking your first steps, or have been playing for a while, my guitar lessons are well suited to take your playing and passion to the next level! With a degree in Jazz guitar performance and a background in blues/rock playing, I'm a big believer in following the passion of the student and am well suited to teach styles such as pop, rock, Neo-soul, jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk, and country. In my lessons you'll be playing songs immediately. It is my practice and belief the best way to learn is to do, and I have many lesson plans which utilise popular songs to help learn specific techniques, chords, picking, melodic lines, and improvisation. In addition to this I would encourage students to suggest songs they enjoy listening to that we can unpick together in the lesson, and create practice exercises from the music they enjoy listening to. Lessons are 30, 45, or 60 minutes, and take place in a relaxed home studio in Nottingham. Lessons can also be offered online or at the home of the learner with travel costs included.

Perfect! John really personalises his lessons. Can go through music theory as well as just be positive and get you playing songs quickly. Whether a complete beginner or someone who wants to go the next level, I would totally recommend you give John a try.
- Really great lessons with Richard, he has applied the techniques we went through and is already making brilliant progress!John's response :
Perfect! After my first lesson with John, I immediately felt my skills and confidence improve with the guitar. John listened to me, understood the issues I was facing and within the first lesson I felt like he addressed and helped me fixed the issues I was facing with my playing, which was my main goal for finding a tutor. The lessons felt engaging and fresh with some great fun playing at the end, definitely recommend to anyone at any skill level!
Perfect! I'm a complete beginner, and John's methodical approach has really helped me develop the solid base I need in order to progress further
- Great first lesson with Aurèle and Marta!John's response :
Perfect! I had some concerns about my technique, but John was incredibly supportive, offering multiple approaches to help me improve. He also provided excellent advice on ear training, which was invaluable. Though I was a bit anxious at first, the calm and friendly environment quickly made me feel comfortable. The session flew by, and I now have a clear plan for enhancing my playing. John even supplied helpful practice materials to use at home. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to refine their musical skills.
- A really great lesson and looking forward to working together!John's response :
Perfect! John is an exceptional teacher who truly understands the art of engaging his students. His classes are an absolute delight, as he seamlessly combines music theory with popular song practice. With John, I never find myself getting bored, as he is so good at keeping the lessons interesting!

Perfect! John is an outstanding tutor who customizes the learning material to fit my style, making the lessons both enjoyable and effective. He lets me focus on songs that interest me, boosting my motivation. Besides being a great teacher, John is also a fantastic conversationalist.
He skillfully balances theory with practice and is always prepared to tackle any questions, even exploring complex topics in-depth when needed. John is also very flexible with scheduling and lesson duration, accommodating my needs with ease.
In summary, John's teaching approach, combined with his adaptability, makes him an excellent tutor. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their skills.- Great lesson with Ross! A really good attitude and a student that will go far. :)John's response :
Perfect! John is far and away my son's favourite guitar tutor - and he has experience of many excellent ones. My son is at an advanced level for his age and always looks forward to exploring new techniques & pieces, and generally spending time with a very enthusiastic, skilled and friendly musician.
