Looking For Guitar Lessons?

I’ve been teaching and playing guitar for over 10 years and have a diverse background of national and international teaching, touring and performing, I’ve taught over 1000 music students in 4 different countries (and have loved every minute of it!) Some of the places I’ve taught at include:

University of Chester, Chester, UK.
Leeds Arts University, Leeds, UK.
Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory, Nepal.
Federal University of Sao Joao del-Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Pro Music, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Music For Life, Cheshire, UK.

Learning the guitar has changed my life for the better, so whether you want to learn for enjoyment or to take your playing to new heights, I’m happy to help out.

As well as offering lessons via Skype, there also a number of free guitar lessons on my website.

"I only recommend a handful of private guitar teachers in the world and Jack is one of them."

“Jack is a world-class guitar teacher, player, and just an all around cool person to be around. Not only does he have a passion for teaching guitar, Jack goes above and beyond to make sure his students learn, have fun, and grow as players and people. I only recommend a handful of private guitar teachers in the world, and Jack is one of them.”

"Jack's ability to explain and demonstrate even over the internet is fantastic. He is positive and enthusiastic. He is clear in his explanations and well organised."

“Megan started guitar lessons with Jack when she was 8 years old. Jack himself was still a student at the time. Jack has a great approach to teaching, keeping it relevant to the student by choosing songs that the student is into, but at the same time manages to teach the technical skills and techniques.

Megan had face to face lessons with Jack and was disappointed when he moved away from the area. We had tried several teachers since Jack moved away, but with little success as nobody matched Jacks positive teaching attitude. When the covid lockdown presented, we considered the Skype / FaceTime lessons.

I can honestly say we wish we had started them sooner! Jack’s ability to explain and demonstrate even over the internet is fantastic. He is positive and enthusiastic. He is clear in his explanations and well organised. I’m so pleased that Megan has managed to reconnect with Jack’s guitar lessons and find her love for playing once again.”
