Beautiful Christmas Jazz Guitar Fingerstyle // SILENT NIGHT 19/12/2025

As today is my last lesson of this year I'd like to say a massive thank you to all my students and schools that I teach in. And also to Project Music where I teach on a Thursday and Friday.

All the students have been amazing this term and it's so refreshing to have so many teaching venues so supportive of students and teachers.

Please find my annual Christmas fi*****ng picking tune if you fancy having a go over the holiday break and play to your families.

Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas!

Exciting news! I’ll be moving all my teaching to guitar shop from October 15th 2025.

Not only is Project Music the heart of guitar in Exeter but it holds a special place in my heart as it was the place I first got guitar lessons, so it feels full circle for me.

Please do pop in and say hi and take a lesson from October 15th!
