A Structured Approach to Learning Guitar

 

 

With so much material for learning guitar online, it can be hard to know what’s best to focus on at each stage of your journey.

If the level of challenge is higher than your experience, you can end up being discouraged. It can sometimes feel like it all seems impossible!

That’s why I work with a clear and simple system of levels to guide students through guitar proficiency. I’ve based the levels on the achievement of specific skills. This way you get just the right degree of challenge at each stage of the learning process. You know what you’re working towards, and you choose to go up to the next level when you feel ready. And when that time comes, you always know what the next step will be!

Skill levels go from A1 to C2:

 

Complete Courses That Match Your Interests

Everyone’s tastes and musical inspiration is different. Not everybody dreams of learning bluegrass, jazz or heavy metal!

That’s why I offer a variety of courses following different paths in learning guitar – both song based and technique based. That way, you can learn the kind of music that inspires you to pick up the guitar, in whatever learning style works for you.

Song based courses introduce you to all the crucial skills and techniques in the context of learning full songs, with gradually increasing difficulty. Yes, that’s full songs, from the very start – because playing a song from beginning to end is much more satisfying than just a 10 second riff!

Technique based courses introduce you to the nuts and bolts of guitar playing from a practical perspective. This includes practice routines, the language of music such as scales, modes, chords and arpeggios, as well as songwriting and improvisation.

The courses start from A1 ‘absolute beginner’ all the way up to intermediate and advanced, in genres ranging from stadium rock to alt rock, from blues, funk and jazz to improvisation and theory, from classical to folk, fingerstyle and more!

If you’re interested in one-to-one lessons, I offer private lessons in East London as well as online. Whatever your age, tastes, interests or ability, I’d love to hear from you!

I'd strongly recommend Rory to anyone looking to improve their guitar skills. The lessons are always varied and we work on all different aspects of guitar playing. He's also more than happy to work on any specific songs you want, and will have them ready to go on your next lesson. I've improved more in the last 6 months with Rory than my previous few years trying to improve on my own. Highly recommended.

Been taught by Rory for about a year now, and the difference in my playing has been astounding. He works really hard to tailor each lesson to your needs, and is a very friendly and instructive tutor.
