TUTOR MAKES HOUSE CALLS:
Baz is happy to take on new guitar students one-to-one or small groups at any level, whether you want to work toward exams, just have fun, or raise your game.
You practice, he'll show you patience, not to mention technique, and a few tricks along the way. And he comes to you.
If you're a beginner, a couple of weeks of chords and a simple scale or two and you're into playing songs.
Intermediate players who can already navigate the neck and strings a bit may be ready for a change of tutor and want to actually understand what they're playing - not just read or copy something.
If you've been playing on your own for a bit and suddenly find yourself in a band with bass and keyboards and/or other guitarists, you may need to learn things about playing arrangements in an ensemble, or creating parts for original material - Baz can help.
There's more info on the Teaching page.
