Music theory for guitarists

Maybe you’re a guitarist and can play really well but you struggle to understand the rhythms and reading music from written notation. Learning to read music can help you improve your playing.

Play your favourite tune

Do you want some help in working out your favourite tune whilst improving your co-ordination and technique? Perhaps you’re struggling with note clarity & rhythmical accuracy and need some help with technique.

Accuracy and speed

Do you struggle with playing the guitar at speed? I can help you play those fast tunes with clarity & confidence whether on electric, acoustic or classical guitar I can help you take your playing to the next level.

Improvising

You can play rhythm guitar and sing all day long but perhaps you struggle to make up a melody? I can help you feel confident about improvising and step away from the written music.

Beginner Strumming patterns

Know a few chords but struggling to be coherent? I can help you to feel confident about your chord and strumming techniques. Not sure how to play that F chord? I can help with that too. Learning to barre will take your playing to the next level.

Exam preparation

I can help you prepare for exam on either the electric, acoustic & classical guitar. Music theory exams are also available with ABRSM. You do not have to be learning the guitar to complete your theory grades with MK Guitar Tuition.

Development

I try to make MK Guitar Tuition the place for all things guitar and music theory. That hasn’t changed. What has changed however, is that not only can lessons now be delivered in person, but also online. A good solution if you’re having a frantic week and can’t quite make it.
