One-on-One Lessons, Tailored to You
I’ve spent the last 15 years playing live, recording, and helping people feel more confident in their playing.
I teach private guitar and bass lessons from my home studio in West Footscray—or online, if you're tuning in from further out.
This isn’t a course or a content library. Lessons are one-on-one, shaped around your goals—and grounded in tools I’ve picked up from years of real-world playing
Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to refine your tone and feel, we’ll work on the kind of music you actually care about.
Who These Lessons Are For?
Most of my students are real-life learners—people returning to music or starting fresh, often in the middle of everything else life throws at them.
Some are beginners. Some are picking things back up after years away. Some are quietly serious about it, and some are just here for 30 minutes a week of something that feels good. What they all have in common is a desire to play better, sound better, and enjoy the process.
You don’t need to be naturally gifted, wildly ambitious, or aiming for the stage (although that is most welcome). You just need to be open, curious, and ready to show up.
If you want to play music that feels good—whether that’s fingerpicked guitar, pocket basslines, or anything in between—this is probably the right fit.
What You’ll Learn
Technique That Feels Good
No strain. No overthinking. Just efficient, relaxed playing that sets you up for long-term progress.
Real-World Musicianship
Skills that translate: writing parts, reading charts, shaping tone, and playing with confidence.
Personalised Approach
Every lesson is tailored to your goals, your music, your level. No templates. No fluff.
Learning Through Songs
We use real songs to develop feel, timing, and expression.
Always in context—not just repetition.
Theory That’s Useful
Harmony, structure, and songwriting tools explained in plain language and applied in real time.
Support Between Lessons
Each student gets a digital folder with notes, listening recs, charts, and practice materials to stay on track.
