Guitarist & Fretted Instrument Tutor....Acoustic, classical, blues/swing and rock; bass guitar various styles; ukulele: music theory; occasional Lute & mandolin! Over the years I have performed around the UK working with many musicians in many situations. Nowadays my focus & pleasure is teaching & learning. These videos are intended primarily for students to see & hear grade (5 & 8) pieces in particular, but also examples of diploma & non-grade pieces, ideas and anything I enjoy etc. I will post as time allows.

I hope these will be useful.

Online lessons available, please email [email protected] for details.

Lovely quote from Tommy Emmanuel...”The Guitar is tough, it’s beautiful, but it’s tough. You have to work at it every day, some days you feel like a king & the next you feel a fool, because we are different every day”

Best wishes

Mark
