If you want to learn guitar or take your current playing to a new level, then you want to get lessons with an expert, someone who can take you from where you are to where you want to get to.

My name is Johnny and I have 20 years playing, performing and teaching experience - 10 of those as a professional musician. I have been in numerous charting bands and mentored many other musicians to achieve great things in the music industry. I recently moved to Salt Lake City from London England and can't wait to get you on the road to guitar playing success!

I have developed a kick-butt method to help you to really learn how to play the guitar. It is perfect for all ages, levels and abilities - I focus on developing awareness, creativity and technique, using the guitar as a means of self-improvement and expression. I gently tailor your guitar lessons to your individual needs and teach you what you need to know so you can play what you want to.

I am getting fantastic results here in Salt Lake City already with many of my students and am looking to enlarge my studio, either with myself as your guitar teacher or with one of my other highly competent and qualified teachers.

Playing the guitar is an inherently good thing to do. It is incredible for children, inspiring for adults and is made all the better with expert and experienced tutelage.

I expect to hear from you if you are dedicated, tenacious and are prepared to make the time and monetary investment in yourself and your future guitar playing excellence.

So, if you want guitar  lessons from the best and you want to be the best guitarist you can possibly be - then check out the contact page.

Pros of getting lessons with me:

• Proven method, that will skyrocket your playing (whatever level you are currently at).

• CMS from Goldsmiths University London.

• I hold Recitals, where you get the chance to play and perform in front of people (scary at first, but this is great for your growth).

• I've taught hundreds and hundreds of people - I just recently went to the SLC leg of the Warped Tour where one of my ex students was playing, and another artist I have produced songs with was playing as well. A current student has just got on to this years Warped Tour as well!) 

• I have done hundreds of gigs, from sweaty, smoky dives in London, to large festival and Television gigs (with 20 million viewers!)

• 20 years playing, 10 years professional experience.

• I LOVE teaching, and am completely invested in YOUR success.

• I am ENTHUSIASTIC about YOUR growth - I LOVE to see my students become successful!

• You'll really learn the guitar, not just songs!

• I use my EXPERIENCE and MISTAKES to guide you away from the pitfalls and perils of the music industry - this advice alone can prevent you from doing the same things that have cost me wasted time, money and huge record sales!

• There's no other teacher like me in SLC!

• I can aid you in all aspects of your playing, from gear to gigging, from setting up your band to getting 'out there', from writing songs to playing sell-out shows.

• I produce music for artists and help them finish songs, truly express themselves and get over creative blocks.

• I will teach you play and sing at the same time - I have many fantastic voice building exercises to really open up your vocal range.

• You will learn to play by ear - soon you'll be able to work out songs just by listening to them!

• You will learn how to read TAB and music notation.

• You will learn what is really going on as you play your songs - the THEORY behind it (too much theory, make a student weary - so we go easy on this side).

• You will soon be playing songs you LOVE - not just crappy one note melodies! Popular songs that you can impress your friends and family with.

• I am a (self proclaimed!) EXPERT on the CAGED system and can teach you how to solo all over the fretboard and play chords like Jimi Hendrix.

• I'm a huge fan of self-improvement and will instil confidence, enthusiasm, discipline, creative expression and joy into your learning and playing!

Cons:

• You might be a little scared about how quickly you get good!

• I expect A LOT from you!

• I WILL make you grow - as a guitarist and also as a musician, and even as a person!

• These aren't really cons!
