I can teach you:
Classical • Acoustic • Electric • Bass • Music Theory
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.

Proudly independent
My name is Alex Partington and I run, own, teach and manage MK Guitar Tuition. All lessons are on an individual basis and are bespoke to you. Learn for fun or with grades, music theory & DofE also available online or offline.
My aim as a business
My aim as a business is to provide bespoke music services which focus on developing you as a musician. Whether an adult or a youngster, lessons are on an individual 1:1 basis. Learn acoustic, electric, classical, bass or music theory – all at your own individual pace.
Services
Accomplished musicians will be able to teach a wide range of styles whilst having in depth knowledge for either acoustic, classical, electric, bass or even music theory. You won’t need to swap teacher if you want to swap styles.
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.
