Zoom
Guitar
Lessons
One-to-one guitar lessons from anywhere in the world. All you need is your guitar, a webcam, a good internet connection and Zoom.
How It Works
Thousands of pages. Shared live. Emailed after.
Screen-share
I share my teaching material (exercises, diagrams and transcriptions) on screen during your lesson, and can zoom in, annotate and highlight as we go.
Live interaction
We go through the material together, and I give feedback and corrections as you play. It's a two-way lesson, not a video you watch.
Emailed after
All material from your lesson is emailed to you immediately after, so you can practise between sessions and build a well-organised body of high-quality reference material.

BENEFITS
Why Zoom lessons Work.
Tailored to you
Identifying precisely what you need at your specific stage of development — no generic one-size-fits-all approach.
Two-way lessons
Unlike a YouTube tutorial, you can ask questions and I can see exactly what you are doing.
No travel
Learn from the comfort of your own home. No commute, no hassle — just open your laptop and you're ready to go.
PDFs instantly
Teaching material is emailed to you during and after every lesson — building a personal library of high-quality material to practise from.
Instant feedback
I correct problems as they happen, with clear guidance on how to fix them.
Location is no barrier
Lessons work wherever you are in the world.
TECHNIQUE
Can you teach
technique
via Zoom?
Yes — absolutely.
Virtually all technique issues are easy to identify via Zoom. This includes left hand thumb placement, hand position, efficiency of movement, pick grip, pick trajectory, and whether the pick movement is generated by the finger, hand or forearm.
Once identified, technique issues can be addressed with a set of targeted exercises and clear instructions.
IDENTIFIABLE VIA ZOOM
- Left hand thumb placement
- Hand position & efficiency of movement
- Pick grip & pick trajectory
- Pick movement source — finger, hand or forearm
PLATFORM
