This challenge is for you if…
You are a complete beginner
You want calm explanations and a clear first step, with no assumed musical knowledge.
You are returning after a break
You remember fragments but need a manageable structure to rebuild confidence.
Your chord changes keep stopping you
You know a little already, but songs fall apart when it is time to move between chords.

Don’t just take my word for it…
I asked some of my students what it was really like learning guitar as an adult.
“I started my guitar journey at 62 as a complete novice. I am extremely lucky to have found a tutor of Ben’s calibre.”
“I never thought I could get to play the guitar as I am dyslexic, but Ben gave me the confidence and said anything is possible.”
“Ben is an outstanding guitar teacher—knowledgeable, patient and genuinely inspiring. He tailors lessons to your goals.”
