About Paul
Hello, and thank you for visiting my Superprof ad!
My name is Paul Collins and I am a guitar tutor from the United Kingdom.
As a child, I would listen to rock n roll records at home, and eventually started to learn to play the guitar at age 10. I became interested in rock, heavy metal and punk rock music during my teenage years, which led to my interest in more specific guitar music as an adult.
After playing in school bands, I played my first public gig at age 17, and continued to perform in bands on guitar and bass, as well as record in recording studios.
I began recording at home when I attended college to study Music Technology, and have since enjoyed writing, mixing and mastering my own music, as well as recording guitar for other artists.
I started teaching guitar and bass full time in 2005, and switched to working in guitar shops in 2009 for 11 years, whilst still teaching occasionally. Since working in guitar shops, I have developed a passion for guitar repair and maintenance.
I now play guitar and bass at grade 8, as well as some ukulele and mandolin, and I have a particular interest in music theory, and transcribing music by ear.
I have now returned to teaching music full time, and have decided to focus on online lessons.
I am an Associate Member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors and a member of the Musicians Union.

I structure my lessons in accordance with your needs.
If you are a beginner, I usually start by explaining the anatomy of the instrument itself, the tunings of the strings, and then how to play notes on the fretboard, before grouping these notes into some very basic chords and scales.
We would start by using chord diagrams and TAB notation, eventually progressing to writing the notes on the stave.
I try to include references to your favourite songs, as I believe it is important for you to recognize what you are learning.
If you are at intermediate or advanced level, we would focus on specific techniques with a heavy emphasis on music theory.
If you require certification, I can guide you through your Rockschool, ABRSM, London College of Music and Trinity grades.
I generally aim to teach students who are between grades 1 and 8 and who are aged 16 or over. I mostly teach rock, pop, blues and metal styles.
I can teach 30 min, 45 min or 60 min lessons.

Thanks for everything, Paul. My daughter really enjoyed her lesson.
Paul makes learning the guitar fun! He really breaks things down into manageable pieces so that it was easy for me to understand! Using the webcam was easy too! Thanks Paul!
