YOU CAN WRITE SONGS

You play guitar but don't know where to take the skills you've learned.

You can play songs but want to make your own music and write your own songs.

I've been teaching how to do this for over 19 years.

"I have advanced more than I could have ever imagined in 3 months when I started from scratch.

Highly recommended."

- Barry


Teaching 100's if not 1000's of guitarists to write their own music for over 19 years has taught me that…

You can not only learn to write songs…you can write songs that you will LOVE.


Lessons tailored to help you, take your skills, learn new skills and turn these skills into songs that you will be proud of.

You can have a creative release to turn anything you might want to say into music.

Writing songs is for everyone.

“I have really enjoyed learning with Dave’s help. He teaches in an engaging and fun way and his lesson atmosphere is relaxed and student centred. His combination of talent and skill, and friendly open personality provide a really calm and easy environment to progress”.

“Dave was the best teacher I have had in my 13 years of playing. His vast technical knowledge of music was really engaging as well as his ability to teach. He is a person who can not only teach but also has a personality which helps him connect with the pupils he is teaching.”

    "Dave was brilliant. He puts his students at ease from the get-go which makes learning so much easier. Dave has structure within his lesson plans at the same time assuring he is always open to requests from his students. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him. Not only is he a good mentor on the guitar, he’s also great to talk to about life in general."

    "I have enjoyed having Dave as my guitar teacher for over a year. He has introduced me to a variety of guitar styles from classical to blues, and has provided me with a range of projects to work on. He is friendly and reliable, and I feel I have learnt a great deal in both the theory and practical sides of guitar playing."
