My name is Ian, I am a professional guitar teacher based in West Sussex. I spend my time performing in bands and teaching from my hometown Chichester. I have taught hundreds of students the joys of playing guitar, and continue to work with some great budding musicians.

I teach people of all ages and abilities to play the songs they love. If you are interested in becoming a great guitarist then you’re in the right place! Please take some time to look round the website, and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

Ian has a laid-back teaching style and a deep understanding of music theory. His lessons are easy to follow, with great... practice tips and lesson notes. I’ve been playing for many years, but I’ve learned a huge amount in a short time & my playing has really improved. Thanks Ian!read more

Don't think twice, book your lesson now! Having played the same few chords for decades I thought I would take the... plunge and I am so glad I have 18 months on. I have learnt so much technique but much more than that, a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. Ian complements his teaching with all the tools of a modern musician such as apps, transcribe software, streaming, youtube as well as books etc, both in the lesson and as "homework". He is realistic and has helped me set my own goals that work in a pretty busy life. He is very flexible and understanding when I have had to cancel at short notice. He is a talented teacher, so go for it!read more

Ian is a great guitar tutor to my two sons. They have different skills but he caters for both. He makes the lessons... interesting and fun, and they have a great relationship with him and always enjoy going. They have been working with Ian for more than two years and have both progressed really well with him.read more

I have been having lessons with Ian for 4 years now, we have worked on a range of techniques, and I can really say I... have never made as much improvement in all my years of playing as I have done with Ian. I am now playing things I never thought I could, and my confidence has soared! If you are considering learning the guitar, I would certainly suggest giving Ian call, he explains things so clearly!read more
