Guitar Lessons

Play Better. Sound Better. Feel Better.

Guitar Lessons that Unlock the Music Inside You

Whether you’re just getting started, stuck in a rut, or feeling like you’re “not musical enough,” these lessons are designed to change the way you think about the guitar — and yourself as a musician.

Guitars Sound Familiar?

  • You know scales, but your solos sound flat and repetitive

  • You’re stuck in pentatonic boxes and don’t know how to break out

  • You can play chords, maybe even full songs, but they never sound quite right

  • You’re nervous playing in front of others, afraid of messing up

  • You feel like you’re always making mistakes — and they’re holding you back

Good News: That’s Exactly Where Growth Begins.

What You’ll Learn:

Improvisation & Composition

  • Go beyond memorising licks — learn to create music

  • Understand how songs are written so you can jam confidently over them

  • Find the melody in what you hear — and build your playing from that

  • Use just a few chord shapes and related scales to open up a world of musical possibilities

Theory That Actually Makes Sense

  • Learn the “why” behind what you’re playing

  • Recognise common patterns and progressions in any genre

  • Train your ear to hear the scale behind the melody — and respond musically

Tone & Touch

  • Develop smooth, expressive playing with both hands

  • Learn the small details that make the biggest difference in tone

  • Practice in ways that build muscle memory, confidence, and feel

  • Get the soft, clean tone you want — or dial up the grit when it’s time for blues

The Real Secret: It’s Not About Playing Perfectly

  • Learn to play through mistakes — and sound great doing it

  • Understand how your mindset affects your music

  • Learn to reset in real time when things go off — and keep going with flow and confidence

  • Discover that some of the most beautiful music is simple — but deeply felt and well played

How You’ll Learn:

  • Left and right hand techniques to control tone and timing

  • Posture and guitar positioning that enhances your sound and ease of playing

  • Practice methods focused on sound quality, not just speed or complexity

  • Musical exercises that connect technique to expression

You’ll come away with:

  • A deeper understanding of music and how to apply it

  • The ability to improvise confidently and creatively

  • Great tone, smooth rhythm, and musical phrasing

  • Confidence to play in front of others — and enjoy it

Make Mistakes with the Master

Because mistakes aren’t failure — they’re part of the music.

Learn how to turn them into stepping stones for growth, expression, and confidence.

I teach by ear and can show you how to read chord charts and tab so that you can go out and learn on your own as well.

Brilliant! Zac is a great producer and multi-talented musician. He knows how to get the best out a song or an artist. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Zac as a production and mixing teacher and consultant. Thanks to his expert guidance, my productions and mixes have gone from good to truly professional.

Zac’s vast knowledge, coupled with his patience and personalized approach, makes him the best tutor I’ve worked with. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Zac can help you elevate your sound to the next level.

Zac has done a brilliant job with the recording, production, and mixing of my songs, and his instrumental skills have taken them up to a whole new level - truly a 'one-stop shop'. He is also lovely to work with, taking a huge amount of care on the best way to interpret my compositions.

Miranda

I co-wrote and recorded two songs with him at Meadows Lane Studio with Zac. He is a spectacular vocal producer, as a singer I loved working with him, he really guided me so well when recording my vocals on both tracks. He's a spectacular musician, producer, writer, collaborator and human! He is an absolute delight to work with. Hi curiosity, open mindedness and attention to detail are spectacular. I cant wait to work with him again next year.

Totally amazing inspirational teacher with huge amounts of patience. Meadows lane is a lovely creative studio space. Zac's talent and enthusiasm is a total joy."

Anna Barclay - Parent of pupils

I am really enjoying my lessons with Zac. He teaches out of a well-equipped dedicated studio in his garden. Zac emphasises good technique and it took a few weeks to learn to correct my right hand but now that I have done so I can see real improvement. Above all the lessons are fun and I never fail to come away enthused to carry on playing. Thoroughly recommended.

Johnathan Howes - pupil

Into month 2 of my lessons with Zac. He seemed to get what I was looking for straight away. Great combination of bringing theory into practice, for example explaining why a particular riff sounds right, a great basis for then doing your own creative thing. Also very practical advice on right and left hand (and arm) technique. I'm learning a lot and see myself carrying on with Zac for a long time yet. I thoroughly recommend anyone wanting to advance their guitar playing to give Zac a try!

Bob Tyrell - pupil

Zac is a great teacher. He shares his knowledge and experience enthusiastically. He's very patient and makes me feel relaxed during the lesson. I always leave my lesson feeling motivated and ready to play guitar! His rate is very competitive especially for the talent and knowledge that he shares so expertly. I would highly recommend.

Sally Driver - pupil

Zac is a great teacher. I began learning during lockdown and continue lessons to this day on a weekly basis. He is patient and enthusiastic and will teach you to play the songs that you want to learn as well as teaching music theory. I would highly recommend Zac.

Paul V

Zac is a great teacher. His music knowledge is impressive and he always finds the way to adjust the style and complexity level to the student's skills level.
