Currently I am teaching pupils of various ages electric and acoustic guitar from scratch, covering all aspects of musical theory, technical development, sight reading, session styles and live performance (from complete beginners to advanced). My knowledge of music is exceptional, both in the theoretical & technical aspects of guitar playing with a firm grasp of how music has developed and progressed since the dawn of popular/contemporary music.

I have been taught by some of the most renowned session musicians and professional guitarists in the world, names include:

* Pete Friesen (Alice Cooper Band & the Almighty)
* Dave Kilminster (‘Guitarist’ magazine’s 1991 guitarist of the year, collaborated with Roger Waters & Keith Emerson)
* Guthrie Govan (‘Guitarist’ magazine’s 1993 guitarist of the year, Progressive Rock band Asia)
* Jamie Humphries (Australian Pink Floyd touring artist)

I participated in a production of ‘Return of the Forbidden Planet’, a rock ‘n’ roll musical in Liverpool’s Academy 3 theatre. Whist at the Academy of Contemporary Music I took the opportunity to play with members of Skunk Anansie.
