Private Guitar & music theory Tuition
Rhys offers a systematic and practical approach to guitar, music theory, and composition for musicians who want to take their playing and music to the next level.
With over a decade of teaching experience working with musicians internationally, the focus is on practical fretboard navigation, applied theory, improvisation, and songwriting. Holding a BMus from Edinburgh College, specialising in Jazz, Blues, and Rock guitar, Rhys breaks down complex concepts into clear, logical frameworks so you understand how music actually works, rather than just memorising shapes.
Core Focus Areas
Fretboard Navigation: Connect theory directly to the neck to unlock fluency across the instrument.
Improvisation & Soloing: Move beyond scale patterns and start playing musically.
Repertoire & Song Study: Learn your favourite tracks and understand how they work.
Composition & Songwriting: Structure your ideas, refine arrangements, and finish original material.
Technique & Mechanics: Clean up physical bottlenecks with efficient practice habits.
