Guitar Lessons from complete beginner to experienced in the comfort of your own home !

From 46 € /h

With over 30 years as a professional musician and 25 as a teacher, I am able to tailor my lessons to my students' needs. I do not follow a strict path, each student has different wishes and needs so it's my job to interpret them accordingly.
I travel to my students in Amsterdam, this is proven to make people more relaxed and better able to focus on the lessons.
I have a long and varied history as a musician and composer, from playing sold-out concert halls to composing music for films and television.
From complete beginners to more advanced players I will get you either started or help you advance your playing and musicality to the next level.
Lessons in both Dutch and English ( I am English ).

My name is Teis. I am a Danish guitarist trained in Jazz music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and USC Thornton School of Music (Los Angeles). I have played since age 7, studied since age 13, and played professionally since age 18.

I work professionally as a band leader, composer, and side person.

After around 25 years of experience on the guitar, I can confidently say that I am equipped to share the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years.

In all honesty: I have never found myself to be particularly "talented". But I am a hard worker. I truly believe that talent is not something you are born with, but something you can develop and grow.

Together we will explore secrets and tips for a healthy guitar routine. We will improve your technique and ear training abilities with direct and fun exercises.

Whether you are just a beginner or an intermediate/advanced guitarist, we can explore the instrument and all its possibilities.

Practicing and playing with a teacher in a one-on-one situation is the most effective way to get better faster, and I advise it to all the guitar and music lovers out there.

In my guitar course, we start from where you are at and set a goal fitting to what you want to achieve. For example, our focus could be a.o.:

Fingerpicking
Soloing
Accompanying yourself
Songwriting

Two ways to go about it;

Single lesson: We go from where you are at the moment, and I help you move forward.

5 or 10 lesson bundle: I will make a detailed plan for you and we will conclude the lessons with a performance of some sort. I will help you elevate and broaden your skill set, in your preferred style, but also ear training and theory. We will build a sustainable practice routine together, and you will get access to a library of practice play-alongs and manuals, that you can use to build a solid platform as a musician!

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Hallo! (Lessons in English)
Wilt u muziek uitgelegd?
Ik produceer Hiphop en elektronische muziek !
Beats, Instrumentals, Liedjes, Geluiden, Jingles : alles wat ik wil.
Ik ben altijd erg gepassioneerd geweest door geluiden en tot Ik 10 was, probeer ik het lekkerste muziek te creëren.
Ik heb onafhankelijk muzikale onderwijs maar heel technisch.

I wish you feel to
Be Ambitious to succeed
Be Imaginative to push the boundaries
Be Inspirational
Be Results-focused to exceed expectations and create structure

[LESSONS ARE GONNA BE IN ENGLISH]

The kind of lessons that I will host are very different and not mainly implemented on the theoretical part of the music production but on the practical one. I will explain you every step that I will take during my production process.
I will produce beats using my techniques and methods during the lessons and I'll try to transplant in you the beauty of immagine, composing, editing, mix and producing your own ideas, IN YOUR OWN NATURAL WAY.

As long as I'm not an academic teacher what I'm offering is close contact with my students to inspire, correct when is really needed and create together what is really close to our soul.
The most important goal during our path? To work and discover your strong points and avoid the bad ones trying to understand them, understand your root.

I will follow you like I follow the artist that I produce.
First rule: HAVING FUN, BECAUSE MUSIC IS FUN!
The feeling that you have when your music is there and is playing for you and for the others will be amazing. I promise you.

Hartelijk Bedankt
Pietro

Hey peeps!
I love to give guitar lessons in a relaxed mood that will not put pressure on you, only giving you feedbacks that will improve your practice. The first lessons will generally consist of covering the basics by learning simple songs. Depending on how it goes, we will go straight into learning songs that you want to play, where you will learn even more!
I can teach you how to play across several appointments during the week so you'll learn faster and enjoy playing straight from the beginning :)

Keep growing ♥️

Learning to play the guitar can be an amazing experience at every stage of the process! My ultimate goal is to help my students to develop their skills and musical understanding by learning and playing music that they like.

Therefore I adapt my teaching methodologies to the tastes and needs of every student. Throughout every lesson, we will work on three main courses of development: technical aspects, theoretical knowledge, and performative practice.

My classes are open for anyone who would like to enjoy exploring the universe of music: beginners and advanced, children and adults, you are all welcome to book the first lesson.

Currently, I am studying Composition at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.

I have been playing guitar for more than 15 years and I have participated in music bands and live shows.

I am also working on electronic music through my laptop and hardware devices (synths, drum machines, etc)

I would be happy to teach you how to play the guitar, music theory tips, and some basic production skills!

In the beginning, we will work on your favorite songs. At some point, you will be able to make your songs and you will have the opportunity to record your ideas and share them with the public!

For the super young ones: We will start with easy tunes and then, we will work on your favorite songs!

- It is never too early or too late to learn an instrument!

- Music theory is a very important tool to go further in playing, don't be scared of it. You can do it!

-Guitar techniques to apply to your playing :)

- Interested in making your own music? I will help you to do it! Get your music online and don’t be afraid to share it! I will show you the basic ways to record and produce. It is the best feeling to share & listen to your own music.

If you are interested feel free to contact me! The available hours can be discussed and changed according to your availability.

Hi I'm Daniel, an enthusiastic and dedicated guitar teacher who loves meeting his students' own goals. By combining my 6 years of experience in teaching guitar with my students' own interests, I help my students make progress in the most engaging way possible.

I provide my students with a grounding in the basics of technique and theory to make sure they develop good habits, enabling them to make use of the near-infinite resources online when they want to play and learn more in their free time and later in life. I believe a good teacher is one who makes their students able to go on independently and with joy and passion for their instrument.

Learn your favourite songs, demystify music theory, learn how songs are written (and get help writing your own), learn to play songs by ear, explore a range of genres... I look forward to helping you with your own musical journey!

Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including rock, blues, jazz, classical music, electronic music and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach, which can be adjusted to every student separately.

Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing in a party or jumping on stages, reading notes or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is helping you finding that out, and guiding you through your personal process.

Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

I am Dimitrios, I am a greek professional guitarist. I graduated with a masters degree in Jazz guitar from Conservatorium van Amsterdam and also studied in the conservatory of Leeds, UK.
As a musician my primary focus is jazz music but I also often play other styles like soul, Rnb and more.
So far in my teaching career I have had experience with many different ages, from 7 to 40 years old and I think I have managed to pass on to them some of my passion for music.

Whether you want to learn to play your favourite tunes, learn to improvise or get some in depth knowledge about music theory and harmony we can work out a suited lesson plan for you. Happy to teach any level and any style from rock to jazz and electric or acoustic guitar.
As every person learns differently, my approach always depends on the student and what you want to get from the music and the guitar.

I always like to have a structured approach in my lessons, here are some subjects we can cover:
Building a repertoire: Blues, Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, Rnb & soul
Guitar Techniques
Music theory: Chords & scales
Rhythmic Studies
Guitar Accompaniment techniques
Improvisation - Guitar Solos
Sight Reading
Ear Training
Songwriting-Composing

There are many ways to learn an instrument: individual or group lessons at your local music school, masterclasses, method books, online lessons or video courses, YouTube tutorials, or self-study. While I've learned a lot through all of these methods, nothing beats private lessons with a good teacher. It's inspiring, dynamic, personalised, and you don't have to second-guess yourself because you receive direct feedback.

This course is designed to help you take your guitar playing a step further, no matter your current level. After we've assessed your current level and established your goals, we'll create a personalised lesson plan that will provide you with the know-how you need to take your playing to the next level.

My name is Gerrit, and I offer music and guitar lessons to beginners and intermediate players.
I've been playing guitar for 15 years, two of which were at the conservatory. I'm currently studying musicology at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). My primary focus is playing the guitar, but I can also gain knowledge in music theory, music production, and composition. Above all, enjoying making music is my priority.
I also make my own music, so anyone who can already play a bit of guitar and wants to expand their skills to write their own songs is welcome! We can eventually record this on the computer and create our own music.

I’m a professional guitarist, composer, and producer with over 30 years of experience in recording, performing, and restoring vintage instruments. My lessons are built around real-world playing — not endless scales, but practical music that builds confidence, creativity, and great tone.

Whether you’re a beginner just picking up the guitar or an experienced player looking to refine your sound, I’ll help you understand not only what to play but why it sounds good.

We’ll cover:

Building solid rhythm and expressive phrasing

Understanding tone, pedals, and gear setup

Classic rock, blues, and modern techniques

Playing with feel and intention

Optional lessons on recording and home setup

Lessons are relaxed, friendly, and tailored to your pace. I teach both in person (Amsterdam) and online, and every student gets a personalized plan that fits their goals — whether that’s playing your favorite songs, improving tone, or developing your own sound.

If you’ve ever wanted lessons from someone who’s been there, both on stage and in the studio, this is for you.
