Private Guitar Lessons

I offer guitar lessons for beginning, intermediate and advanced players, including complete beginners. I particularly cover blues, jazz, funk and rock and specialise in teaching lead guitar and music theory for these styles, although I do take players at all levels. I charge reasonable rates and am professional and reliable.

Email me at rich.cochrane@bigi.org.uk to discuss the details.

As well as guitar technique and repertoire I can help you with music reading, composition and general theory. I also strongly recommend that all beginning and intermediate players expand their horizons by experiencing and learning about many different kinds of music, which is facilitated by my extremely large library of music.

I have a teaching space in my home but I can come to you if you prefer. Beginners generally find that an hour is plenty; more advanced players will be able to cope with 90 minutes or even 2 hours depending on their specific needs.

Prospective students can choose to avail themselves of a free 30-minute evaluation lesson at my home so that we can determine whether I can help you and what initial goals we should set. Students who book and pay for 6 hours' tuition in advance (at any stage) receive a free copy of my book!
