About Mike Scott
Having played the guitar for over 24 years I have built up a back catalogue of real world performing and music industry experience that I aim to pass onto my students. I have toured the UK, released numerous pieces of work with a variety of artists and I am currently writing and performing with a band that in recent years have amassed over 60,000 streams and on occasion played to over 5,000 people. I have a First-Class Honours Degree in Commercial Music and have studied HND Music Performance, HNC Sound Production, ABRSM Grade 5 Theory and Level 2 Child Protection in Education (Music) via EduCare.

My lessons are fun and relaxed whilst focusing on working through each student's individual goals. I like to push my students at a pace that keeps them continuously improving, but never feeling like they are having to force themselves to practise in order to do so as learning an instrument should be an enjoyable experience! I have been teaching guitar for over 12 years and teaching online for the past 5. All of my students are given their own Google Drive folders that we can share lesson materials through and also a practice diary that is updated after each lesson. I always recommend an hour for our first lesson as we can have a lot to chat about, leaving us plenty of time to get you playing the guitar!

Mike has been my guitar tutor for several years now. To start with, I was quite intimidated by the idea of learning to play music as an adult but Mike completely smashed my self imposed barriers with his humour and relaxed teaching style. He is an excellent and versatile tutor as well as a skilled musician with a deep and comprehensive understanding of his instruments, a wide range of genres and music theory.
Most importantly, Mike's lighthearted, accessible and engaging teaching style makes the learning process fun and relevant to you & your musical interests. Because he has such extensive musical knowledge, Mike is able to teach in such a way that you often end up learning theory and technical skills without even realising you've done so until you take a moment to reflect. He is the master of "2 Birds with One Stone" teaching! I can say for sure that I'm a much more competent musician with a better understanding of music and my guitar that I ever thought would be possible thanks to Mike. Whether your thing is jazz, death metal or funk, I highly recommend you give him a call!Mike has been my guitar teacher for 8 years now and he has been fantastic the whole time. He is attentive to the areas you want to work on as well as making sure to keep the lessons fun and engaging. Whether I want to improve on my finger picking abilities or need help with recording music, he is always on hand to help! He really does go above and beyond as a teacher. I would highly recommend him. Kind, trustworthy, and good value for money.
Mike has really helped me expand the range of music I play, and for the first time ever understand some music theory. Awesome teacher and good fun.
I started taking lessons with Mike as a beginner and I've now been learning with him for a little over 1 year and 3 months.
I look forward to every lesson with Mike. He's friendly and welcoming and I leave each lesson feeling inspired for the coming week. Lessons are based around songs of my choice, though Mike will make additions to focus upon techniques that would otherwise be absent.
I'd recommend Mike because he has made learning the guitar an absolute pleasure.Mike has been teaching me for the past 6 years and honestly you couldn’t find a better guitar teacher. He plans lessons around you, there is no pressure to learn anything you don’t want to. Most importantly he keeps learning fun and has helped me stick to an instrument for a long time whilst still enjoying playing. He knows his stuff but can explain it in a way that is accessible and understandable no matter your skill level
