If you are looking for top class guitar lessons from a professional guitar teacher you have come to the right place. Whether you are an advanced player looking for new challenges or a complete beginner, my doors are open!
I cover all styles on both electric and acoustic guitar, enabling my students to learn through the playing the songs that they love. From rock, pop, jazz, funk, blues, folk or anything in between. Please feel free to watch some of my playing examples in the “Videos” section.

Play better, get your song recorded properly, or put a professional guitarist on your track. Pick the one you need and send a short message.
One to one tuition on electric and acoustic, from complete beginner to advanced player. Rock, pop, jazz, funk, blues and folk, learned through the songs you actually want to play. Thirty or sixty minute lessons at Mayfield Road or Currie.
A small room, fully equipped for a professional sound, run by a working musician rather than a clock. Bring a song and leave with a finished recording.
Guitar, piano, lap steel and bass for other people’s records, tours and tribute shows. Send Michael the track and tell him what it needs.
Whether you are a complete beginner picking the guitar up for the first time or an advanced player looking for new challenges, my doors are open. I teach all styles on both electric and acoustic, so you learn through the songs you actually love: rock, pop, jazz, funk, blues, folk or anything in between.
Every lesson works around your style, your ability and your goals, which is something I take real pride in. That might mean building technique, working through grade books, or simply getting a song under your fingers.
The newly built studio in Currie is small by design. It is a creative space rather than a corporate one, and it is fully equipped for a professional sound.
You are not just booking empty hours in a room. It is my own studio, so you are working alongside a professional guitarist and tutor who plays and records for a living, and who can pick up an instrument if the track needs one.
I’ve played and recorded with many different musical projects, and can offer guitar, piano, lap steel and bass session work. Alongside my own original material I’ve been the session guitarist for shows including the Blues Brothers, the Rat Pack, a Chuck Berry tribute and a Frankie Valli tribute, and I tour and play gigs throughout the year.

I am a seasoned player and teacher with vast amounts of experience. On top of private one to one lessons, I was the head guitar tutor at The Academy of Music and Sound from 2015 to 2023, teaching HNC and HND students along with those on the BA course, as well as music theory and live performance.
My private tuition business is now my main focus, and with the addition of a second studio in Currie I am very excited to see where it goes.
