**GUITAR LESSONS IN SE LONDON**


Hello. My name is George and I am a musician currently living in Brockley. I am offering guitar lessons for all abilities, all ages and all areas of South East London because I want to fill the time between playing shows and doing recording sessions with my band with something I enjoy. I am DBS checked as I also tutor English Literature, and am more than happy to travel (within reason). I have in excess of 15 years experience playing guitar and over ten years experience playing live, both solo and with various bands. Aside from this, I am not your regular guitar teacher. This is because

-I will NOT be teaching you grades, I will be teaching you what YOU want to learn, and how to express yourself in YOUR own way.

-I will help and encourage you to write your own songs and parts by teaching you chord structures, strumming patterns, scales, and providing you with some amount of music theory (but not enough to make it boring!)

-I will help teach you any song you may wish to learn, to read tablature and teach yourself in the future.

-I will play with you so you get used to playing with others and keeping time with other instruments, but only when you want me to.

-I will NEVER try to get you to learn or play anything you don't want to learn or play. This is about you and what you want to hear and play.

-Learning how to play guitar can be a lot of fun, but it can also be soul destroying when frustration and self-doubt take over. This is all part of the process and without these things you would learn nothing. They are necessary to your progression as a musician. I will help you to overcome these obstacles by being patient and understanding at all times.

I personally think that you should learn to play on your own guitar, but if you don't have one, please don't worry. I can provide acoustic and electric guitars, amplifiers, plectrums-everything necessary.

I would rather travel to you because i live with 4 others in a cramped house, but I am happy to make exceptions if necessary.

Rates are as follows:

40 minutes-?15

1 hour-?20

1.5 hours-?27

2 hours-?35

Please contact me either on here or 07538079210 for any more information.

Cheers,

George Russell


P.S. I am sorry to anyone that has tried to contact my by phone in the last month. I am back on the same number now, it had all my passwords for emails on it so have been unable to access this forum or any emails until now.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
