Guitar Lessons with Me, Tom Ryder
Want to learn guitar without the fuss? I teach straightforward, practical lessons that help you start playing real music right away.
About Me
I’m a singer, songwriter and producer with over 20 years of experience in music. I’ve performed across the UK and internationally, and I’ve taught hundreds of students of all ages and levels. Whether you’re picking up a guitar for the first time or want to refine your skills, I’ll tailor our sessions to suit your pace and goals.
What I Teach
You can expect to cover:
• Acoustic and electric guitar
• Playing by ear or using tabs/notation
• Songwriting and arranging (if that’s your thing)
• Confidence with rhythm, tone and performance
Every lesson is built around what you enjoy. If you have a favourite artist or song, let’s work on that.

I offer a few different ways to learn:
• One-to-one – Personalised lessons, in person or online
• Group – Learn with a friend, family member, or as part of a small group
• Online – Zoom or Skype sessions if that’s more convenient
