A Better Way to Learn Guitar

Hi, I’m Patrick.

When I first started learning guitar, I nearly gave up. The lessons felt rigid, uninspiring, and focused on exercises that didn’t connect to the music I actually wanted to play.

So I decided to teach differently.

I help you learn through the music you love — in a way that feels natural, engaging, and actually makes sense. No pointless exercises, just real progress through real songs.

Lessons are tailored to you, your goals, and your taste in music — so you stay motivated and see results quickly.

What students 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

“Patrick’s enthusiasm is infectious, and he always goes the extra mile. When I mentioned I liked Radiohead, he came back with songs that challenged me but were still achievable. I’ve since asked him to teach my daughter — she now practises every day.”
— Keith Lewis, 49

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.
