Guitar Lessons and Coaching in Nailsworth
Most people don’t give up on guitar.
Life just gets in the way.
Work, family, other priorities…
And before you know it, months or years have passed.
When you come back to it, it’s the same cycle:
start… stop… start again.
That’s where I come in.
If you’re a returning player who feels stuck, rusty, or frustrated with your progress and you're looking for guitar lessons in Nailsworth, Stroud or surrounding areas…
you’re exactly who I work with.
Sound Familiar?
- You feel like you’ve hit a wall.
- You keep playing the same things over and over.
- You’ve developed bad habits.
- You don't know the fretboard fully.
- You don’t know exactly what or HOW to practice.
- You’ve tried YouTube… but it’s not enough and overwhelming.
- You struggle to learn songs start to finish.
- Your timing is off or you sound too mechanical.
- You just noodle.
- You just don't feel confident.
What Changes With Proper Coaching
Most returning players don’t lack ability or time to practice…
They lack structure, direction and ACCOUNTABIITY!
I help you build a clear plan, stay consistent and actually improve your playing.
Whether you’re starting fresh or picking it back up after years away, we will focus on what really matters to you.
My clients regularly say things like:
“I finally know what to practice and how to practice.”
“Being accountable weekly reignited the fire.”
“I’ve progressed faster than I ever did using YouTube.”
“After 20 years away, I’m properly enjoying it again.”
“Even my wife recognises the songs now.”
How I Work
This isn’t casual one-off lessons.
It’s structured coaching.
Think of me like a Personal Trainer for your guitar playing!
With me in your corner, you’ll get:
- Clear weekly focus
- Help fixing bad habits
- Feedback on technique and timing
- Video feedback and support between sessions 24/7
- Accountability that keeps you motivated and making progress.
Whether you want to play rock, metal, blues, pop, funk, or something else entirely — the fundamentals of progress are the same.
I don’t just teach songs.
I help you actually learn guitar properly — so your playing finally sounds the way you want it to.
I'm based in Nailsworth and working with clients across Stroud and surrounding areas.
(plus a few more clients remotley across the UK and beyond!)
I keep client numbers small to ensure proper attention and real progress.
