About
I always really enjoy meeting new students. Together we’ll work out your best learning styles and help you achieve your musical goals.
My teaching stands out as I have over 16 years experience in the UK and USA, working within various universities/colleges, schools and within my one-to-one studio.
After receiving a Masters from the Manhattan School of Music in 2018, I now teach and perform full time.
Students usually stay with me for many years. Whether it’s learning the guitar from scratch, getting accepted into music colleges, continuing from past lessons, or a fun hobby, I’m very focused on helping each individual.
Feel free to read some of the reviews on this profile.
Cheers!

I learnt more in my first lesson than with many previous so-called professionals.
Problem techniques were explained and explored, with the result I could now practice techniques which I previously could not grasp.
This guy is an amazing player, and a fabulous tutor.

Brilliant teacher with many insights and sensible explanations of complex harmonic and technical issues. I have played for many years but there were complicated things I could not figure out before, and now it all clicks. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to seriously advance in their playing and improvisation skills.

Gareth is an awesome teacher. I've been learning from him for almost two years. He's patient and supportive, which makes learning fun. Gareth gives great tips on how to overcome my playing challenges and is incredibly resourceful when it comes to selecting learning materials to improve my techniques. His class is not just about playing the guitar – he helps you feel confident with music too. If you want a dedicated and encouraging guitar teacher, you can trust and hire Gareth.
