Leeds Guitar Studio

Graham is a fantastic and entertaining teacher whose passion for the subject matter really elevates the lessons. Graham is especially good at presenting answers to any questions in multiple different ways which helps with grasping difficult concepts. Lessons are enjoyable and varied with an easygoing atmosphere and there is a good amount of supplementary material in the form of videos and printouts. Highly recommended!

After decades as a frustrated, self-taught player, I've recently changed to P4 tuning and went looking for a good teacher.My lessons with Graham over the last few months have been exactly what I hoped for.He is taking my existing, scattered knowledge of guitar and music theory, and filling in the gaps that have held me back for years as a player. I look forward to our next lesson.

What attracted me to take lessons with Leeds Guitar studio is Graham’s extensive experience in teaching students of all abilities, including late beginners like me.To begin with, we focused on my technique and getting the essential basics right as part of a structured learning path. What is fantastic about Graham is his ability to communicate concepts and ideas very clearly, whist being totally encouraging with his demonstrations. I also enjoy the PDF learning aids which accompany our lessons and practice these as part of my homework.Graham’s a lovely person who provides a high standard of teaching. He’s easy going and I’ve learned so much in such a short space of time.

I’ve been having lessons with Graham for a couple of months. First off Graham is an extremely talented musician and really knows his stuff. His technique is fantastic and his knowledge of theory is immense. I’m an intermediate player looking to get out of a rut and straight away Graham was able to identify gaps in my knowledge and playing ability and focus on what was needed for me to improve. Lessons are tailored to what I’m interested in and are a mixture of techniques and musical theory but always with the emphasis on practical application. Graham covers all styles of music and is excellent at explaining potentially difficult topics in a way which brings it to life. In addition he is a very articulate and easy going character which means lessons are both extremely interesting and hugely enjoyable.

I only had a couple of lessons with Graham but I'm already practicing pretty advanced stuff. I have never seen scales and modes explained the way Graham does it. These complex" topics suddenly look fairly simple on the guitar neck. Another big advantage when studying with Graham is that he is an expert on both tunings - Standard Tuning and All Fourths Tuning or Perfect Fourth Tuning (P4). I'm interested in P4 tuning because you need to learn only a third of the chords when compared to Standard Tuning. So it is really rare to find such a good teacher for P4!"

Graham has been an amazing teacher. Having started with little to no knowledge about musical theory and the guitar he helped me get going quickly and I have made great progress over the 6 months I've been learning from Graham.Now moving onto songs and chords he has helped me with my technique and also kept sure I remember previous things covered.He is a great teacher and would recommend for people wanting to learn the guitar.

Money spent on good guitar lessons is better than money spent on gear -- so the saying goes.Graham, at Leeds Guitar Studio, is a good guitar teacher. He has a friendly manner & helps you work through improved technique and increased knowledge. By looking at your playing he offers precise, focused feedback with new approaches & tips.We do exercises, drills, warm ups together with practical applications of theory and harmony. He is training your ears, fingers & rhythm. He tailors what you need to work on based on where you're at. There's a wealth of his own teaching materials that he sends you, direct. With regular focused practice, using these materials (& metronome) you get better!I would thoroughly recommend Leeds Guitar Studio to improve your playing whatever your current standard.

Graham is the best teacher I've ever had. After playing for several decades and going through various tutors previously I'm finally having my first lightbulb moment with music theory after just three lessons with this guy. I'm also learning new approaches to technique and generally getting excited about practicing my instrument again. Can't recommend highly enough!

Amazing guitar tutor! Super friendly and so knowledgeable on such a wide range of genres and playing styles, I've been progressing so much faster than I ever would have if I continued to teach myself and he's really helped to deepen my passion and appreciation for the instrument. I feel like my lessons go by so quickly and I leave with so much to explore and practice and look into, he's really patient and great at tailoring lessons to the style of music you want to play. He really gets into the details and theory behind everything you play so you understand what's going on, so regardless of your level I'd recommend Graham as your guitar tutor :)

I've been playing guitar for quite a few years but had struggled recently with my technique and with moving forward with any purpose. I decided to have lessons with Graham and have been having them for about 6 months. They have made a huge difference. My technique has improved greatly and we have also covered a variety of topics. All the topics follow on from each other and tie in with songs etc and all are supported by handouts etc. Graham has great knowledge and experience from many years of teaching and his style is very thorough but also very relaxed and fun. I feel I have learnt a great deal in a short time and would highly recommend Graham.
