About Patrick

A guitarist who loves teaching

Hi, i’m Patrick - I’m a professional guitar teacher based in Brighton, and I know how frustrating learning guitar can feel - I nearly quit myself early on.

That’s why I teach differently.

My method is simple: to help you enjoy playing guitar while making real, steady progress through songs you know and love.

I’m a registered RGT tutor, DBS checked and hold professional teaching qualifications - but more importantly, I focus on making lessons clear, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable.

What my pupils say:

  • Patrick has the perfect balance of patience & drive that makes his teaching both purposeful and enjoyable. You’ll love learning with him.” Arun Schofield (23), Brighton#

    —————————

  • “Not only was Patrick’s enthusiasm catching, but he went above and beyond. When I told him I liked Radiohead he came to our next session armed with songs that would challenge me but which I could realistically learn. I’ve since also asked him to teach my daughter. He’s now given her the bug and she’s been practicing an hour a day under his tuition! Would highly recommend!.” Keith Lewis (46), Brighton

Common questions

  • Absolutely not. Most of my students are adults who either never played before or tried years ago and want to pick it back up. Adults are often quicker learners than children; you have motivation and context on your side.

  • For your first lesson, no, I can provide one. After that, I'll help you find the right guitar for your budget if you don't already have one. Acoustic or electric, both are welcome.

  • Most students are playing recognisable parts of songs within the first couple of lessons.

  • My studio is near Preston Park in Brighton. I also offer home visits across Brighton & Hove for a small additional fee.

  • Perfect - complete beginners are very welcome. We start from scratch and build up properly from the beginning, no assumptions made.
