It’s a great time to start bass and guitar lessons in Sydney. I’m kicking off for 2025, so let me tell you about some of the main styles and students I teach.
Classic Rock – I get a few adult students who were kids in the classic rock era. As I was too, that suits me fine! These people learn and relive the music they grew up on. As for younger students, they can dip into five decades of awesome classic rock music, and to them it is brand new.
Modern – Two of the best gigs I went to recently were Lola Young and The Beaches. They are both new artists. Lola Young is a brilliant singer and songwriter from the UK, while the Beaches are an all-girl rock band from Canada. I’m always keen to hear good new music.
Indie Rock – And yes, I do take song requests. One of my long term students is into indie rock and he gives me lots of requests. So, I’ve built up a big collection of alternative indie rock music. Thanks Chris!
Bass Lessons – I have an opening for bass lessons, as two of my best bass students have just stopped to do their school HSC. But all ages are welcome – I currently have a ten year old and a fifty year old learning bass guitar, and both of them love it. Bass guitar is the most underrated instrument – it’s important to any song and so fun to play. Try it, you’ll be surprised.
Country – This genre is going through a boom just now. Come and join the party.
Metal – I’ve been a metal fan for decades so if that’s what you’re into, you’ve come to the right place.
Songwriting – Three of my albums are on Spotify and YouTube, so I’ve learnt what it takes to write a song. If you want to express yourself or perhaps even record your own songs, we can work through the whole process.
Beginner Guitar – You’ve got to start somewhere. For kids, you can learn chords and reading music. For adult beginners, I’ll show you the basic chords and get you started playing songs right away. Perhaps you’re hesitant about learning something new, but some of my best students have started as adults. Learning an instrument has been a great hobby for them and enriched their lives.
Jazz and Blues – Both these musical styles are perfectly suited to the guitar.
Guitar lessons in Sydney: How to Start – I’m based in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, but I also do online lessons via Zoom if you live further away. I began Zoom lessons during lockdown. I was skeptical at first, but it actually works pretty well. In-person lessons are best, but learning online is certainly an option.
Music is one of the best things in life, so get involved. If you’d like to try guitar lessons or bass lessons, send me a message today.
