Laurence - Know your guitar teacher
I’m a guitar tutor who loves helping people unlock their sound and actually enjoy playing, not just going through exercises. Whether you’re a complete beginner or stuck at a plateau, I tailor lessons around your goals, interests, and pace so you always feel supported, challenged, and moving forward in a way that suits you. My lessons are structured but relaxed, focused on making things click quickly and practically. I break techniques down step-by-step so you always know what to work on, how to practice, and why it matters. The aim is to build real understanding and confidence, not just memorisation. Alongside teaching, I’ve developed my own playing through years of performance and study, including advanced instrumental work such as a cover of Cliffs of Dover, which has reached nearly 2 million views. This reflects the level of detail, consistency, and technical development I can help students work towards when they’re ready, while always meeting them at their own level first. I place a big focus on confidence, creativity, and strong practice habits so progress feels natural and motivating between lessons. My approach is patient, encouraging, and fully adaptable, shaped around how each student learns best. My goal is simple — to help you feel excited to pick up your guitar and see real, meaningful improvement each week.

Guitar concepts taught by Laurence
The Student and Tutor worked on advanced guitar theory and technique, including applying the CAGED system, connecting pentatonic scale patterns across the fretboard, and practicing rhythmic subdivisions with a metronome. They focused on understanding how to apply relative minor pentatonic scales over major chords and explored embellishments like double stops for soloing. The Student was given the homework to practice these concepts in different keys and to study Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" for practical application.

Introduction to Double Stops for Expressive Playing
The Student and Tutor reviewed major 7 and dominant 7 chords, and then extensively explored the five positions of the minor pentatonic scale on the guitar. They practiced playing these scale shapes and connecting them to the CAGED chord system, discussing how to use them for soloing over chord progressions. The Tutor assigned homework to memorize the pentatonic patterns and practice them with backing tracks.
