About your guitar teacher
Hi, I’m Ben — a guitar tutor with over 15 years of playing experience and a passion for helping students build real musical confidence. Whether you're into rock, indie, fingerstyle, or just want to jam with friends, I’ll help you develop the skills and musical understanding to enjoy the guitar for life. I focus on practical progress — technique, rhythm, creative playing, and music you actually like. I’ve taught students of all ages and abilities, and I tailor each lesson to your pace and goals. Alongside teaching, I’ve played in bands, composed original music, and explored a wide range of genres — so lessons are never one-size-fits-all. You won’t just learn what to play, but why it works — so you can eventually make the instrument your own

Guitar concept taught by Ben
Ben Manwaring guided Jenn Sutton in a guitar lesson focused on mastering basic chords (G, A minor, C, D) and strumming techniques for the song "Knocking on Heaven's Door." Jenn practiced finger placements and chord transitions, and Ben recommended the Songster app for practice. Jenn was assigned homework to improve chord changes and maintain a consistent strumming pattern.
