Jazz and Blues Guitar
....plus improvisation for any instrument

Welcome to my website. I have been offering professional guitar tuition in Leeds, West Yorkshire, for many years and have helped people at all levels of playing. My youngest student has been 12 and my oldest is 68.

I teach a number of modern styles: jazz, rock, blues and pop, Pat Metheny to Jimi Hendrix, Allan Holdsworth to Led Zeppelin. The music I play most of all for myself is jazz, sometimes straight-ahead jazz standards from the 'Real Book' and at other times rock influenced electric jazz.

My favourite artists include

Scott Henderson
Allan Holdsworth
Pat Metheny
John Scofield
John Abercrombie
Pat Martino
Bill Frisell
Wayne Krantz
Nguyen Le
Jeff Beck
Steve Khan
Mike Stern
Django Reinhardt
Kenny Burrell
Wes Montgomery
Michael Brecker
Chick Corea
Joe Zawinul
Weather Report
Miles Davis
Thelonious Monk
John Coltrane

I hope looking through these online pages helps you on your way to choosing a guitar teacher: it's an important choice. Feel free to give me a ring with any queries..
