Do you provide sheet music?
Printed sheet music can be provided for anything you are learning. Customised backing tracks, at varying tempos can also be provided if appropriate. If you have a smart phone or tablet, you can also play along with your sheet music using Guitar Pro software.
Will you transcribe something for me?
Pieces or passages of music for which no accurate transcription is so far available can be transcribed. If you have a request please get in touch.
Where do lessons take place?
Lessons take place at Peter’s home studio in the Moortown/Alwoodley area of Leeds, UK. Or online from the comfort of your own home.
Am I too old/young?
Peter’s youngest student is six and his oldest is a chap in his seventies. Age is no barrier to enjoying the guitar.
How often should I come?
Most students come weekly, but some prefer to come fortnightly and some more sporadically. There is no hard and fast requirement.

Practice Resources
Drones
12 30 minute drones. One for each note of the chromatic scale. Ideal when played alongside a drumbeat for guitar practice..
Straight 4/4 Beats
A succession of 20 minute 4/4 drum loops, each one 5bpm faster than the last. I practice with these every day.
Swung 4/4 beats
Much like the prior video, but with a swing feel. These have been really useful for helping students to differentiate between straight and swung feel in their playing
4/4 beat, gradually increasing
This last one is a lot of fun. A 4/4 beat getting steadily faster and faster, it goes from 40 to 200 bpm over the course of about an hour…
Fretboard memorisation
12 tracks for practicing and memorising the notes of the fretboard, hopefully fairly self explanatory.
