Teach Me Guitar is designed to provide the inquisitive guitarist with useful resources to help them progress. It can not replace a teacher but can be used to help your study.

My teaching method draws from a number of sources. I have given the minimum instruction needed to understand a subject, with links for those who wish to read more.

Most sections of this site are self explanatory. There is a News and Calendar page giving information for my students. I can upload recordings into the Student Work area. I am currently using the Blog to discuss important topics which do not yet have a place in my teaching method.

This site will answer any questions on learning classical guitar. If you have ever wondered how to play faster, read better or learn pieces, then this is the site for you!

I am not offering any short cuts. The best way to learn is to be thorough and to understand what you are trying to achieve. My aim is to make your practice more efficient, and more enjoyable.
