MY Mission
is to make learning Guitar an easy, enjoyable & effective process for all who wish to learn, whether you're a complete 1st day beginner who is feeling a bit intimidated and overwhelmed by it all, or a frustrated veteran seeking help to conquer that specific solo or technique.
Guitar Knowledge
Since first picking up a guitar in 2000, I’ve been learning and exploring the vast landscape of music, technique & theory. I’ve performed in bands, played in dozens music theatre shows, earned a UTAS BMus, and created hundreds of guitar videos for YouTube & TikTok.
Teaching Experience
Since 2007, I’ve been helping students of the guitar reach their goals, and I have learned as much from them as they have from me. I’ve accrued well over 10,000 teaching hours, and I’ve seen what works. My methods have been crafted around this experience, to bring you a streamlined yet flexible approach to guitar lessons.
Wide range of styles & techniques

About Me
is my passion. It’s changed my life, and helped me find fulfilment, connection and joy. My priority is to help others learn this mystical instrument, so that you too can enjoy the freeing feeling of strumming a few chords around the campfire, or soaring through a glorious solo to a dance floor of cheering fans. Learning a musical instrument is not only enjoyable, but great for the brain, whether you’re 6, or 60. It improves self esteem and problem solving skills. It reduces stress, and enhances creativity. Plus, it's just plain FUN.
