If you're in Adelaide and have been contemplating learning guitar, there's no better time to start than now! Whether your goal is to strum a few songs at home, impress friends, or delve into songwriting, I'm here to guide you on this journey. Lessons are held in Glenelg.
I've dedicated many years to playing and teaching guitar, adapting my style and content to fit each individual's needs. My lessons are tailored to suit from ages 13 upwards, from young enthusiasts to those who have long harboured a desire to play guitar.
Most of my students aim to master a few chords to play their favourite tunes, while others are keen to explore the intricacies of musical theory. My lessons are all about your needs and aspirations. With a passion for music being the only prerequisite, I'm sure I can help you get started!
If you don't have a guitar for your first lesson, you can borrow one of my guitars, and I'm also on hand to offer advice on purchasing your own. I have connections with some of the best guitar stores in Adelaide, and can give a second opinion on second-hand finds that you might see online.
A bit about me - I hold a Bachelor Degree in Popular Music and am an active performer in Adelaide's music scene, playing in both cover and original bands. Beyond teaching, I build and repair guitars, especially electric ones, and I'm also a songwriter and producer.
My guitar curriculum is comprehensive and adaptable to all skill levels. Here's a snapshot of what you can expect:
Introduction to the Guitar: Learn about different guitar types, their components, proper posture, and pick usage.
Guitar Tuning and Maintenance: Gain skills in tuning, string changing, and general guitar upkeep.
Playing Techniques: This is the essence of learning guitar. I'll take you through everything you need to learn to play guitar proficiently - from basic chords and fretboard understanding to skilled techniques and improvisation.
Music Theory and Reading: Tailored to your interest - delve into music theory or focus on practical playing, or both whatever suits your needs.
Performance Preparation: If you are interested, I'll prepare you for live performances, focusing on stage presence and live performance tips.
Lessons can be scheduled on a regular weekly basis or on a flexible basis. Lessons are generally either 30 or 60 minutes long.

Perfect! Simon is an excellent teacher and guitar player, he is also very knowledgeable about music and instruments themselves, and shows his student things that would be hard to know or learn otherwise. He visually shows the correct hand placements and takes learning mistakes with grace and patience, while also writing down everything taught for later practice. Highly recommend for lessons to any level of guitar, and he’s also just a great person!
