About Jack
Hi, I’m Jack Taylor, a guitarist from Surbiton with nearly 20 years of experience. My main passions lie in playing blues, classic rock, and metal, but I’m always eager to explore new genres and musical styles. Since 2011, I’ve been a guitarist in the metal band Bangover, touring across the country and releasing several albums and EPs. For our latest album, I took on the role of home recording and producing, which was an incredible learning experience that fuelled my passion even more. This journey inspired me to share my knowledge and skills through teaching and creating great music.
All my services are tailored to your personal taste—I want you to learn and record the music you love, not just practise songs you’re indifferent about or focus heavily on theory without context. This approach made my own learning enjoyable and effective, and I believe it will do the same for you. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in it would be great to chat. Thanks for stopping by!

I offer 1 hour in person lessons at £25 an hour.
Additionally, I also offer a 10 week course (First lesson free if paid up front).
'Track in Ten' is a 10-week, one hour per session course designed for complete beginners to learn the fundamentals of guitar—starting from the very basics and progressing all the way to writing and recording your first original song. This course will be completely tailored to your music style, whatever that may be, and we can discuss this in our initial consultation.
Course Overview:
Weeks 1–6 – Learning to Play Week 1: Guitar basics – posture, tuning, holding the pick Week 2: Strumming and rhythm – timing, playing with a metronome Week 3: Major & minor chords, reading guitar tabs, playing basic songs Week 4: Keys and scales – intro to melody Week 5: Song structure – explore new songs with more interesting chords Week 6: Power chords & barre chords
Weeks 6–8 – Writing & Recording Week 6: Begin creating your own song – structure and rhythm Week 7: Continue writing – add a lead melody, intro, and solo Week 8: Recording session (1 hour) – track your song
Weeks 9–10 – Buffer Weeks These can be used to: – Spend extra time on any area that needs attention (most likely continuation of the recording process) – Add vocals, bass, or even drums to your track – Finish or polish your recording
Each Week Includes: – A PDF with course material and exercises – Support via WhatsApp or video call if you need clarification Your track will then be delivered in your chosen format at the end of the course (with all files if requested).
Note: To get the most from the course, you'll need to practise outside of our lessons. One hour a week won't be enough—you'll need to put in time between sessions. As a result, you'll need to own your own guitar. Also, if paid up front for 10 weeks, 1 lesson is free (£225). Lastly, I cannot guarantee all under 16s will be able to get to professional recording quality within 10 weeks, so please do not expect miracles!

Jack has been teaching guitar and ukulele to my kids (ages 7 and 10) for the past few months and is an excellent teacher with a broad musical knowledge. He is very comfortable teaching kids of this age and produces tailored lesson plans to build and expand on previous work. My wife who works as a trained cello teacher is very complimentary of Jack’s teaching and rapport he has built with the kids in a relatively short space of time.
My ten year old has been having lessons with Jack for a few months and absolutely loves it. Jack is calm and patient and tailors the lessons to what will be most engaging. As a result, my son is really progressing and learning some great techniques. Highly recommended
I actually heard of Jack from a work friend. She said he was a great guitar tutor so I thought I'd give him a try. I'm glad I did, as he was a very friendly, patient and knowledgeable guitarist. He taught me alot and I really got on well with him. A top bloke and a amazing tutor!
