About Tom
I have been teaching guitar for 2 years and have taught over 20 students of all ages and abilities - from children picking up the guitar for the first time, to 50+ aged adults reacquainting themselves with the instruments after years apart and everything in between!
Having played in a variety of bands in my 10 years of playing the guitar, from folk to rock, to blues and pop, I understand the importance of catering lessons towards an individual's needs.
I also have much experience in songwriting and can help any budding songwriters on the guitar to understand how to structure songs, build chord progressions that sound great and fit lyrics and melodies over the top of these chords.
As well as having played in a range of bands, I studied Commercial Music at Bath Spa University where I graduated with a First.

I craft my lessons around the principles of patience, individualism and fun for all ages and abilities.
For beginners on the instrument - we'll take our first steps by learning some simple chord shapes and strumming patterns.
From here on it will become apparent just how many songs you can learn with just three or four chords and we'll endeavour to incorporate your favourite songs into the teaching process as we progress.
You will also play along to tailor made backing tracks as you progress, to give you that feeling of playing with a band from day one. These can then be sent to you in an email for practise at home. I will also supply you with useful learning resources - big chord charts, chord progression sheets and much more. These are invaluable resources for continuing the learning process at home.
For intermediate players - we'll discuss where you want to take your guitar playing. Similar to beginners, you will play along to backing tracks but with a directed focus on what in particular you wish to learn. Perhaps you are comfortable strumming chords but want to learn to smash out a solo over your favourite song? Or maybe you've always played acoustic and want guidance on the techniques involved with playing electric?
Whatever your aims are, I can help you get there. Send me a message and book your first lesson today!
REVIEWS:
"Tom is a down to earth, friendly guy who really knows his stuff. Lessons have been practical and fun and theory is explained clearly with the help of sheets so you can take them home and use them in your own practice. Tom's given me lots of tips to improve my playing already and the few lessons I've had so far have been invaluable." - Lee G
"Tom has been really great. He has tailored lessons to suite songs that I enjoy and he has been very patient, going at a pace I feel comfortable with. He has taught me a lot in three sessions and he has made the learning process very enjoyable. Can't recommend him enough!" - Keir M
"I’ve had 3 guitar lessons with Tom so far, it’s been amazing start to my guitar journey!
Tom is a great teacher who is patient friendly welcoming guy.
Who finds techniques which will suit the individual with Learning guitar.
He has helped me on my journey so far and increased my passion for playing.
I would 100% recommend Tom to someone who wants to learn or try out guitar." - Steve R
"Tom was very patient with my son who is 6. He was quite nervous and shy to start with but Tom was encouraging and helped him to position his fingers. He is very excited to go to his next lesson!" - Anna B
"Tom is a truly helpful and friendly tutor. Before I met him, I had been struggling with learning how to play guitar by watching Youtube. Back then I thought I was able to deal with it on my own. But soon I found it difficult and accidentally came across him in this site. Once I started lesson with him, my guitar skill improved much faster. I used to play some basic chords and didn't really manage to play whole song. But He taught me some of my favourite songs and now I can sing and play them completely. Every lesson I had was gripping and I'm really looking forward to seeing him in next week's lesson." - Junseung O
"Tom teaches my 9 year old son. He was a complete beginner and has never played the guitar before but Tom put him at ease straight away and my son is really enjoying the lessons and is now looking to be the next Ed Sheeran. I stayed for the first lesson to make sure my son was comfortable and happy and now I just drop him off, he looks forward to the lessons. Would highly recommend." - Martine R
"Tom is very professional, he listened to what I wanted to play and we just crack on.
He goes beyond the classroom with support, and he will give you extra by the use of backing tracks to help you.
I would recommend Tom to anyone who would like to take up guitar." - Andy B
