The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Professional Oud Teacher – Arab Maqams & Classical Melodies

I am a passionate Oud player and teacher, dedicated to sharing the beauty of Arab music with students from all backgrounds, especially non-Arab learners.

I design each lesson carefully according to the student’s level, progressing step by step to ensure steady improvement and deep understanding. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student, my goal is to help you express yourself through the Oud, master the traditional repertoire, and enjoy the art of improvisation and ornamentation (taqasim).

What students can expect:

Personalized lessons tailored to your level and goals

Guidance on Arab maqams, scales, and rhythms

Classical melodies and repertoire, with optional modern adaptations

I offer structured, technique-driven online lessons for students who want more than just chord charts. Trained in both the classical and flamenco traditions.
My approach is methodical, but never rigid—I tailor each lesson plan to your goals, whether you are preparing for graded exams or simply want to understand the why behind the music.

What I Cover in Lessons:

1.⁠ ⁠Classical Guitar Fundamentals

· Posture & Hand Position: Achieving maximum efficiency with minimal tension. We look at sitting position, left-hand alignment, and right-hand resting stroke vs. free stroke.
· Tone Production: Nail shaping, attack angles, and how to draw a singing tone from the instrument.
· Sight-Reading & Theory: Learning to read standard notation confidently, not just tablature. We cover positions, key signatures, and how to interpret phrasing marks.
· Repertoire Building: From Sor, Carcassi, and Aguado to Granados, Albéniz, and Villa-Lobos. I help you build a polished, performance-ready repertoire.

2.⁠ ⁠Flamenco Technique & Style

· The Four Essential Strokes: Rasgueado (strumming variations), Picado (scale runs), Arpeggio, and Alzapúa (thumb technique).
· Compás (Rhythm): Understanding the rhythmic cycles of Soleá, Bulerías, Tangos, Fandangos and many more. You will learn to feel the beat, not just count it.
· Falsetas: Short, pre-composed solo phrases. We break them down phrase by phrase, then learn to link them together.
· Accompaniment: Introduction to accompanying flamenco cante (singing) and baile (dance) – chord progressions, capo placement, and staying locked in with the singer.

3.⁠ ⁠Music Theory Applied to the Fretboard

· Harmonic analysis of the music you are playing.
· The difference between major/minor and the Andalusian cadence (Phrygian mode).

4. Creative Exploration

· Once the fundamentals are solid, we explore arrangement. Learn to take a melody (folk song, film theme, or standard) and arrange it for solo guitar in flamenco style.

Who This Is For:

· Students preparing for formal music exams.
· Self-taught guitarists looking to fix technique gaps and learn to read music.
· Flamenco enthusiasts who want to move beyond "strumming" into authentic compás and falsetas.
· Classical players curious about adding flamenco colours to their playing.
