About William

Hi, I'm Will, I'm 29 years old, and I'm a professional guitarist and musician based in London, with a degree in music from the University of Bristol. I'm available for in-person and online lessons in electric guitar, music theory, and composition, as well musicology and music history. I have a full enhanced DBS check, and have had experience teaching at schools, and privately.

I've been playing guitar since I was 10, and music has been my passion since then. I play guitar in rock, pop, classical, hip hop, funk, soul, and many other styles, and I can tailor my lessons according to your tastes and aspirations. I've played hundreds of gigs nationally and internationally, and with that experience I can equip you to succeed in whatever it is you're looking to achieve.

I love teaching and my main goal is to inspire people to love music and their instrument as much as I do!

About the lesson

My approach

Our first meeting will always be about understanding any prior experience, where you want to get to with guitar, and how you want to get there. I can help anyone from beginner to advanced players. Ideally, you have your own instrument, but if you don't we can have a couple of tasters with one of mine.

Our lessons will be informal, but we will work hard! I can teach you either by using sheet music, tablature, or just our ears. I am also available to teach online, at my home, or at your home if you live in London.

After the first lesson, I will structure the first block tailored towards your needs and aspirations. If it's exams you want to take and pass, or just play your favourite songs, or indeed refine your technique, we can work together.

At the end of the day, I will tailor the lessons to each individual pupil, so you can get the best out of your learning experience. Engaging your love for music, and passion for creativity is what I believe in - and this is what yields the best results. Playing the guitar, or indeed any musical endeavour, can be daunting (I remember starting out!)

Repertoire

I believe in the student choosing their repertoire, as this makes the experience a 1000 times more enjoyable for you, but if you're at a loss where to start, we can work together to get to the right place. We will talk about this in the first lesson.

Areas covered (as required)
Right and left hand technique
Mastering the fretboard
Music theory - harmony, melody, rhythm - chord progressions, chord construction, scales, modes
Composition
Improvisation
Expanding repertoire/choosing the right repertoire
Ear training
Tuning your instrument properly
Advice on gear and how to leverage pedals, amps, guitars, etc - how to produce the best sound
How to look after your guitar - changing strings, cleaning, maintenance basics
Guidance on new gear if later on you're interested in upgrading
Introduction to home recording and production

Help with GCSE/A-level/University
...and much more!

Musicology and music history
At university I focussed on musicology and composition, and can help anyone with their GCSE, A-level, or music theory exams and coursework, as well as any university students looking to specialise in this.

I'm half English and half Portuguese, and speak both languages natively, and can speak pretty good Spanish, and ok French, so I do welcome non native English speakers, as I'm used to getting my point across when there's a language barrier.

If you'd like to learn more about taking lessons with me, please do get in touch through the message box - I look forward to helping you on your musical journey!
