Introducing
So you're interested in learning guitar as part of a group?
Well, I want to make sure you're comfortable on every step of your journey, so this is where the Beginner Guitar Survival Course comes in.
This course was made specifically with older adult beginner guitar players in mind to help them tackle this instrument in the most effective way possible.
I also know from experience teaching older adults that learning information gets a little harder as time goes on.
Hence, the course combines:








I've been playing guitar for 25 years and teaching it for 16 (that went quickly!). Many of my students over the years have been adults - some in their 50s, 60s, 70's and even beyond that.
I graduated with a BMus (Hons) from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) in London in 2014, and then, in various teaching positions, spent years in front of hundreds of students, working through the kind of problems you're probably facing right now.
On the gigging side: I've been playing professionally for over two decades. Wedding bands, corporate events, high-profile clients including the Prince's Trust, the RAF, and the BBC. In 2022 I spent nine months in Dubai and Bahrain playing six nights a week in residency bands alongside some genuinely world-class musicians.


For the past three years I've been running Carrington Guitar Academy in Bath. My one-to-one calendar is full and has been for some time but I've always believed that the right small group - six people, same level, same goals - can be just as powerful as a private lesson, maybe even more so.
I genuinely love teaching this stuff - and I want to help you build the best possible foundation.
Here's an idea of some of the things we'll be working through together.
Playing single-note melodies cleanly - understanding what causes buzzing and muffling and how to fix it
Chord changes - the techniques that make switching between chords smoother and more reliable
Strumming with proper technique - building rhythm that sounds musical rather than mechanical
Playing in time - how to use a metronome properly and develop timing you can trust
Reading guitar tab - so you can pick up any song and know exactly what to do with it
Basic music theory - just enough to help you learn the notes of the neck and stop you feeling lost when looking at Guitar TAB
Warming up properly - protecting your hands and avoiding strain injuries
Building a practice routine - so every session moves you forward with purpose
I'll be straight with you. This course is new, and I'm looking for a small group of students to go through it with me properly - to test the material, tell me what's working, and help me refine it into the best version it can be. In exchange for that, you get in at a significantly reduced price, and your feedback genuinely shapes the course.

Your feedback genuinely shapes the course
There are 6 spots in this cohort - that's the maximum size of a small group lesson, and I won't be adding more students once they're filled.
My promise to you
If after your first group session you feel the course isn't right for you, get in touch and we'll make it right. I want every student in this group to feel like they made a great decision - and I'm confident you will.
A quick note on expectations
This course will give you everything you need - the structure, the knowledge, the technique, and a teacher who's genuinely invested in your progress. But no course can do the practicing for you.
Guitar is a physical skill. It takes repetition, patience, and showing up regularly - even when it's just 15 minutes before dinner. The students who get the most out of guitar lessons are the ones who commit to practicing in-between.
If you're willing to put in that time, the progress is absolutely yours for the taking. I've seen it hundreds of times. It's not a matter of talent - it's a matter of showing up consistently.
Ten weeks from now, you could have a solid foundation - the fundamental building blocks of clean melody playing, tighter chord changes, smoother strumming and real confidence when you pick up the guitar.
This is a small, focused group, meeting in person in Bath - the kind of learning environment where you get the attention you need and your questions answered so that you can make real progress. If that sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to have you in the group!
