Having struggled to make any progress with my guitar playing I was fortunate to find Darius. His style, approach and ability to explore, explain and teach any genre be it blues, rock, funk or country quickly broke me free of the rut I had got stuck in. In a relatively short period of time, he developed and continued to expand on, my ability to jam, improvise and even compose. My only regret is not starting lessons with Darius sooner.
Simon
Guitar Lessons In London
I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years on and off before I realised I didn’t really have much to show for it, I’d developed some bad habits and became very frustrated with jamming in position 1 pentatonic! I found Darius online and took lessons with him for over a year, now the neck is a playground! He’s exactly what a teacher should be, engaging, enthusiastic, patient, knows the subject and gives his knowledge openly. Truly awesome guy with loads of talent.

I started to have lessons with Darius as a complete beginner. After my first lesson I could play a real song and after a few lessons, I was starting to play barre chords! I never thought I would learn so much and have a great time too. Highly recommended.

Ken

I decided to learn the guitar when I was 43, not being sure I would ever be able to play… Darius’ lessons are great as you learn something new and interesting every time, he challenges you, without forgetting that what really matters is having fun with the instrument!
Emmanuel

I started learning guitar with Darius as a complete beginner and even just after a few lessons with Darius was able to play complete tunes!
Darius can teach broad styles of music with guitar and is a great/ patient teacher that soon you will be playing songs you never thought you would be able to!
Catherine
Guitar Lessons In London
Having had my beloved guitar for over 10 years I first took some private lessons and then group lessons which were boring. Then last year I was fed-up of not being able to strum so I searched for tutors in Battersea and Daruis came up. My first lesson was super fantastic and felt like I had only been there for 20 minutes the time went so fast!!!!!! I totally get Darius’s way of teaching. He is so involved and fun and breaks things down, I love his style of teaching, I love all the equipment he uses, I learned much more with him in a month that I’d learnt with anyone else in the past. It is through him that I am so comfortable with my guitar. I cannot rate Daruis enough. I don’t learn from boring people, I learn from fun, involved, passionate people who know their stuff . The Steve Irwin of guitar. and I loved, loved, loved watching Steve Irwin.

I’ve always wanted to play the guitar and found Darius online. Here we are two years and a half later and I love it. Darius has kept me challenged and interested. I learned songs but also how to improvise and find a sense of freedom. I strongly recommend his teaching.

Do you teach electric or acoustic guitar?
I teach both, and many of my students rotate lessons between acoustic and electric guitar.
Do I have to bring my own guitar and amps?
I know how challenging it can be to travel with your instrument in London, so it’s absolutely fine to use my guitars and amps in the studio.
Do you teach total beginners?
Yes, I have a special program designed for people who have never touched a guitar in their life. After the first few lessons, you’ll be able to play a few songs. In the first lesson, I’ll teach you how to play a catchy little tune, so you’ll see progress from day one.
Do you teach advanced guitar players?
Yes! After assessing your level and skills we will create a bespoke plan of action that will help you achieve your specific goals in a clear and effective way.

Of course. I sneak music theory into every lesson in a logical way that makes sense and relates to everything you’re learning. I also provide music theory-only focussed lessons for those students who are trying to learn about how music works (DJs, electronic music producers, solo artists, etc.)
What can I learn?
Almost anything and everything related to the guitar including music production. With beginner guitarists, I specifically focus on teaching you real music and songs and with advanced guitarists, we focus on your weaknesses (in an environment that is related to your musical preferences).
