After years immersed in the music industry—writing songs, recording in studios, and playing live gigs—I discovered my real passion in 2015: teaching guitar. What started as a few lessons soon became a full-blown calling, and over the past decade, I’ve taught thousands of one-to-one sessions with students from all walks of life. Guiding people on their musical journeys has become one of the most rewarding experiences of my life—it’s what drives me every single day.

There’s something magical about watching someone go from complete beginner to confidently playing songs they once thought were out of reach. If I had access to Dr. Who’s TARDIS, I’d love to take every student back to their first lesson, just so they could see how far they’ve come.

Salford Guitar Lessons (SGL) was built around that idea: that everyone, no matter their age or background, has the ability to learn, improve, and enjoy playing guitar. Our mission moving forward is simple—to continue making learning guitar exciting, inspiring, and truly personal. Whether it’s in our studio in Eccles or over Zoom with students across the globe, we’re here to help you reach your goals, one chord at a time.

The future of SGL is all about growing a vibrant, supportive community of learners. We’re expanding our services, adding new learning resources, and constantly improving the lesson experience to make it even more engaging. I’m so excited for what’s to come – and I’d love for you to be part of the journey.

I’ve been playing guitar for 9 years, studying at SGL underneath Tez for the majority of them.

Over the years I have developed a keen interest in multiple styles and enjoy incorporating elements of such into my playing, taking a great interest in the instrument’s history and its application in both classical and modern music.

This is something that I am eager to share with others through teaching, focusing on breaking down the barriers in both technique and theory and guiding students through acquiring the skills to progress and hopefully pass onto others themselves.
