Learn Guitar with an Experienced School Music Teacher, Gigging Artist, Performer and Multi-Instrumentalist - Lessons for Children, Teens, and Adult Beginners

Ash has played guitar for over 20 years but his experience with teaching how to play is really what makes him so easy to recommend. He is a patient, personable and understanding tutor who’s passion for playing really shines through when you speak to him. If you’re looking to start playing, whether you’re 5 or 75, Ash’s temperament makes him such an excellent teacher. He taught me how to play guitar and bass guitar and his approach has helped me to fall in love with music. I’m now playing regularly in a band and earning money doing so, but I’ve got Ash to thank for it all

Ash is the most patient positive person and is an absolute music enthusiast i cant recommend him strongly enough so very knowledgable and willing to go out of his way to assist students through challenging tasks.

I'm Ashley's older Brother Matt and honestly? Ash is a super talented musician with a wealth of knowledge that he wants to teach and pass on to the younger generation. He's been in bands and or been involved in music all his life. What I think will make him a good teacher is that he is very patient, supportive and adaptable, he will be firm where needs be but not in an overbaring way, there has to be a balance when it comes to teaching. Firm but fair and most of all patient and encouraging. He's not only a great teacher but a great brother and an all around positive influence.

Ash is a fantastic guitarist with an unrivalled passion for music. Having played in bands with Ash over the years, I can 100% recommend his drive and creativity for any musical adventure.

Ash is an incredibly patient and understanding teacher. Not only does he enjoy playing multiple instruments as well as being a vocalist but you can truly see the joy and reward for him when he teaches music. He is always striving to better himself whether that is investing in new instruments or learning new techniques which I think is essential in teaching music as it is constantly evolving.
I would recommend Ash to teach individuals of any age, he is personal as well as adaptable.

I’ve known Ash for over 20 years and play in two bands with him. He’s an amazing guitarist, super versatile and creative and he can shred an acoustic like it’s an electric. His passion for music comes through in everything he plays. Ash has a brilliant ear for music, he can find harmonies, sing while playing, and pick up songs just by listening. He always makes music his own in a unique way, and with his experience and easygoing personality, I know he’d be a fantastic guitar teacher.

I have benefited directly from Ash’s teaching and musical guidance. What stood out immediately was his depth of practical knowledge, combined with an ability to explain things clearly and without overcomplicating them.

One thing I particularly value is his ability to adapt technique to the individual. I have small hands and struggled with certain chord shapes, and Ash consistently found practical workarounds, such as adjustments in hand position and simplified approaches. This made playing more accessible and far less frustrating, and this flexible, inclusive approach has helped me stick with learning when previously I might have given up.

Ash is patient, calm, and encouraging in his approach. He gives you space to explore and figure things out for yourself, while stepping in at the right moments with clear, practical explanations. This balance makes learning feel supportive rather than pressured. He’s particularly strong at breaking down chords, finger and hand positioning, tone control, and how to get the best possible sound from the guitar.

I would confidently recommend Ash to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, adaptable, and supportive guitar tutor.

I have known Ash to be an inspiring educator for far longer than he has taught and that should tell you everything you need to know for his passion for the craft.

I’ve known and have been playing guitar with Ash since we were kids in school. Now 20 years later Ash is still our trusted lead guitarist. He has taught me almost all of what I know today with great mentoring and patience. I would highly recommend Ash to anybody who is looking to start out learning guitar or to improve their existing guitar skills.
