I teach freedom
Andrew’s teaching method is nuanced, beginning by gaining a deep understanding of where you are on your musical journey, comprehending your vision of where you’d like to be as a guitarist & musician, and then crafting a customised curriculum for you to reach your goals as efficiently and enjoyably as possible.
All tabs, notes, and custom videos pertaining to the lesson delivered as part of the booking.
Sessions are remote (via WhatsApp, FaceTime, Google Meet or Zoom), or in person if geography and schedule permits (arranged ahead of time).
You can learn chords.
You can memorize patterns.
You can watch another hundred tutorials.
Or you can finally understand what you’re doing — and why it sounds the way it does.
I offer private guitar lessons for beginners and developing musicians who want more than mechanical progress. We work on sound, rhythm, touch, structure, and most importantly — musical thinking.
This is not about “learning songs.”
It’s about learning how to make music.

What Makes My Approach Different
There are many guitar teachers.
Most teach shapes. Some teach songs. A few teach technique.
I teach awareness.

-
Technique That Serves ExpressionFingerstyle, rhythm, articulation, tone production — not as gymnastics, but as tools for storytelling. -
Musical UnderstandingYou’ll understand harmony, structure, and phrasing — without academic overload. Theory becomes practical and usable. -
Creative DevelopmentImprovisation. Composition. Arrangement.
Even simple pieces can sound unique when you understand texture and dynamics. -
Real Sound From Day OneWe work on tone immediately. Your touch, your right hand, your control of silence — these matter more than speed.

| A Few Words About Me I’m a composer and performing guitarist. My path started on a small island and led to stages across different countries. Over the years, I developed a style that combines fingerstyle technique, improvisation, live electronics, and a strong sense of atmosphere. Teaching, for me, is not separate from performing. It’s the same process: listening carefully, adjusting, refining, searching for clarity. I’m not interested in producing “fast players.” I’m interested in helping musicians think independently. |
