1 TO 1 GUITAR LESSONS FOR ALL LEVELS
1 to 1 guitar lessons in South West London are suitable for all guitarists, at any level. I am equally as experienced in teaching complete beginner guitarists who have never played the guitar before as well as highly skilled performing artists who are looking for transformation.
MORE THAN JUST GUITAR LESSONS
Learning the guitar is just part of a process, staying motivated over a long period of time, requires skills at a whole new level. It is not just about talking or motivating you to practice, I will share real tools that will change the way you learn and help you stay on track with your goals.
ANY AGE OR PROFESSION
Your age is not important. My youngest student is 10 and my oldest is 75. It is never too late to have fun playing the guitar. Many of my students start guitar lessons around retirement age because it is a fun and very rewarding hobby. I teach students, doctors, bankers, plumbers, architects, bus drivers, professional singers and musicians … because anyone can have fun playing the guitar.
COMPLETE LEARNING SYSTEM
I will teach you very effective techniques that will change the way you approach playing the guitar. The lessons are structured and will help you bring your guitar skills to the next level.
FULLY EQUIPPED TEACHING STUDIO
Lessons take place in my home studio in Clapham Junction, which has been designed as an inspiring place to learn and master the guitar. You can test different guitars, amps, pedals and record your first demo. I use the latest technology which makes lessons really fun!
RELAXED TEACHING STYLE
My focus is on you, your goals and I design lessons that fit around you and your lifestyle. I know that you don’t have the time to practice for hours, so I will teach you how to get the best results in the time you have.
I have been teaching the guitar for over 20 years and playing and performing for much longer. I have taught hundreds of students and have solved many unique problems. You will see results starting from your very first lesson.
COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT
After the lessons you can reach me by email or call me during weekly office hours
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.
Darius is a great guitar teacher. He keeps the lessons interesting and challenging and you’ll definitely find yourself improving whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player.
Darius thanks for today! It was my 1st lesson and I will never forget it! Thanks for you’re ‘Style of Teaching’ it is unique! I knew you would be able to teach me when I saw you on YouTube! Never change your ability to teach students on their level!
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 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!
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.
