Master Classes
I have put together a series of targeted master classes which are intended to focus the guitarist on their own personal musical journey. These sessions are of a high and professional level and are essential to the development of anyone interested in forming or joining a band. All sessions are one hour long unless a special extension is requested by the learner. As usual all sessions can be tailored to suit YOUR individual needs and requirements. All sessions can be On To One or as a group. The minimum group size is two. The maximum is three.
Guitar Session Specific Musical Styles.
As you develop as a guitarist you may want to expand your abilities by attending a specific master class in the playing techniques associated with the genre you are interested in. I can offer in depth bespoke sessions in the following genre's:
Gothic, Post-Punk, Indie, Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, Blues, Funk, Reggae.
All sessions can be tailored to your specific requirements.
One To One sessions = £20 per hour.
Group Sessions = £15 per hour per person.

An Introduction To Slide/Bottleneck Guitar
The slide guitar is a staple in a lot of music genre's and the tuning and playing style for this type of guitar is unique. I can offer a bespoke introductory session in this type of guitar playing which covers the basic tuning, the use of a slide and playing techniques.
All sessions can be tailored to your specific requirements.

Alternate GuitarTunings and Techniques
One of the many great things about the guitar is that it can be tuned differently to create a different feel or musical style. A lot of modern (and classical) music genre's and sub genre's use alternate tunings. I.e. Death Metal, Neu Metal, Emo, Crust, Goth, Screamo, Classic Rock, Prog Rock, Blues, Classical, Country etc. With this bespoke master class I can explore alternate tunings specific to the learner's needs and interests. Tunings covered include: DADGAD, D Standard, Open D, Open G, Drop D, C Standard, Open C.

Guitar Effects and How To Use Them
The Electric guitar's sound can be changed and enhanced in a load of wonderful ways. Again, a lot of different styles of music rely on these effects to create the sound that defines the genre. In this bespoke session I take the student through the use and application of these effects to create different sounds that will enhance their playing and give them a greater understanding of their chosen genre. I recommend that any musician who is serious about joining or forming a band to sign up for this session.

To the aspiring guitarist the world of amplification can seem bewildering. With this bespoke session I take the student through the basics of a number of different kinds of amp and how they can be used to expand and improve your guitar playing and techniques. This session as with all the sessions I run, can be focused towards YOUR needs and requirements. This session/workshop is recommended for all budding guitarists.

Performance Master Class
The art of performance is one that requires hard work, focus and practice. Not everyone wants to be on stage, but for those of you who do want to perform live I can help you improve your techniques and give you the skills and confidence you will need to succeed in the performing arena.
I will cover basic and if required advanced stage craft. Performance techniques. How to hold the audience attention. The skill of singing and playing guitar at the same time. An introduction to "owning" the stage. How to deal with nerves and use them to your advantage. Like with all of my sessions. This one can be focused to your specific requirements. I can also extend this workshop to include a number of sessions as and if required.
