About Patch
Patch originally trained as an actor and has performed professionally as an actor-musician. He is currently developing a stage musical and writing and releasing his own new music.
Patch grew up with classic rock and that is what drove him to play guitar in the first place, to have the amazing feeling of playing your favourite song. That is what he will pass on to students.
Completely self-taught, he learnt guitar in a very methodical, nuts and bolts way that he will pass on to students. You will discover the guitar together!
Teaching
Through his near 25 years of experience, Patch’s method is based in technique and will teach you how to PLAY the guitar. It's about putting the playing first and how the theory supports that, rather than the other way around.
He teaches beginners to advanced players, with a particular strength in improvisation. From nailing that first chord or breaking out of the blues box to tear up the fretboard, you’re covered.
Genre
Patch is based in blues and rock, but has experience ranging from metal to acoustic genres.
First Lesson
Though getting to playing ASAP is the goal, the lesson will start with a chat about where you are with the instrument and what you want to achieve. What’s your favourite song/player/riff? How will you achieve that? Then you will make sure you are comfortable with the guitar itself and start making (hopefully nice!) sounds.
Beginners
Patch believes that teaching is a conversation, not learning by numbers. You will bounce off each other. All you’ll need is your guitar and preferably a pick. Playing guitar is one of the greatest things in the world, and the lessons are meant to be enjoyable and filled with discovery.
