Rock/Metal Electric Guitar Lessons!

Welcome all budding rock and metal guitarists! Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Charlie and I am a seasoned electric guitar instructor of over 10 years.

I offer one to one private guitar lessons for all ages and skill abilities. One highlight of my job is meeting kids and young adults of all musically influenced backgrounds and find a common ground to establish a rapport; our love for playing and learning an instrument!

Having taught in multiple institutes, from primary to schools to private institutes, one skill I have developed and enhanced is the ability to adapt and tailor private tuition to an individual. As music is such a wide and vast muse, I believe it is important to hone in on an individuals musical taste and enhance the reason they love the instrument, via tuition.

In our private lessons, I will break down how to play, perform and even compose guitar tracks, as well as follow traditional exam material, (if wanting to work on and achieve grades.). This is backed up with astute theory tuition and technique practice in the form of short burst interactive exercises. Many students find the area of theory and technique to be less than exciting so I make sure to make this very important part of guitar development fun and interactive!

A real highlight and privilege of my job is seeing students develop over the years and become adept enough to have their own careers in music; whether it be performing in bands, become session musicians, or release their own songs worldwide, it’s always important to aim for the stars and one day it could be you being a well known musician or tutor!

                       *WHAT HAPPENS IN MY FIRST GUITAR LESSON?*

A first lesson is a great opportunity to meet and discuss your musical interests, favourite songs, aspirations and goals!   For many aspiring guitarists, the thought of learning to play can be daunting; therefore as a tutor I provide an engaging and supportive learning environment that helps students build confidence and improve their playing ability.

                                  *WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?*

Really, the bare minimal! A great feature of learning online is you can progress in the comfort of your own home! A decent internet connection and access to Zoom, and were good to go. Preferably your guitar will be in tune but if not, I will be able to guide you how to do so in the lesson.  Be sure to set your background noise suppression on Zoom to low so I can hear your piano as clearly as possible!


                                  *OUTSCHOOL TESTIMONIALS*


Since starting on Outschool, I have had the pleasure of teaching many future rock stars, here's some feedback from students and parents

My son looks forward to every session and has really advanced his skills. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated guitar teacher!"

"Absolutely wonderful experience so far for my 13 year old who is taking one-on-one guitar lessons with Charlie. Charlie is engaging, kind, professional and great at teaching guitar! We are booking lessons with him throughout the summer so my son can get the most out of playing and practicing. We are grateful we found Charlie on Outschool and are grateful for both this website and for musicians and teachers like Charlie!"
