I help guitar players become musical and confident on the guitar, playing the music they love. Unlike other tutors that may have more rigid practice plans, I teach around your musical interests and lifestyle, so that practice feels manageable, and that you're motivated to put in the effort.

Before your lesson
Once your first session's booked in, just make sure you've got a decent connection, a laptop or tablet, your guitar, a tuner, a pick, and a space where you can focus and feel comfortable.

What students have to say
Manvir - Intermediate student
“Callum teaches his lessons in a fun, interesting and engaging way no matter if it's a topic you wouldn't usually study. What I like about his lessons the most is his ways of explaining aspects of music such as theory, in a way which is easily understandable, straightforward and less complicated."
Immy - Intermediate student
"Callum is a great guitar teacher. Making useful and detailed resources for the lesson, setting tasks developing in speed for accuracy in performance. He's kind and really cares, which makes for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I'd highly recommend!."
Parent of student - Complete beginner to intermediate
"We are super proud of everything our son has learnt so far and you have been an absolutely brilliant influence on him and his lessons with you have always been something he has thoroughly looked forward to and enjoyed!!"
About
My name is Callum Garland
-
I'm an online guitar coach with 17+ years of playing and over a decade of teaching.
-
I've worked with students across rock, pop, blues, soul, funk, indie and acoustic - and what I've found is that most guitarists don't struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because nobody has shown them the steps in order to achieve the results they want
-
That's exactly what my coaching is designed to fix. Whether you're an adult beginner or you've been playing for years and feel stuck and not confident in your ability.
FAQ
1 / What if I'm not sure what level I'm at?
This is what the discovery call is for so I can find out about you. It's so I can get the best idea of where you're at, your goals, and how much time you have, what you're not interest
2 / What do I need to get started?
Get in touch via the link and tell me a bit about yourself and then your availability. Before your lesson all you need is a computer, a guitar you feel comfortable playing with, a physical or app tuner and a pick.
3 / What if I need to reschedule a session?
All you need to do is give 24-hours notice from the session time and we can find a different time in the week to reschedule.
If you're away on holiday, you also won't lose out if given notice.
Your subscription will be paused so that all payments and attended sessions align.
4 / How does payment work?
Payments are made via stripe. After your first paid session and you're wanting to continue, payments are then subscription based. Cancel anytime.
5 / Will I actually see results?
Dedicating around 45 minutes of practice a day across the 12 weeks can lead to real, noticeable results. I'm not going to promise you'll be Van Halen by the end of it - but if you commit fully to the practice materials set out, you will be a genuinely different guitarist in 12 weeks
6 / What if I don't get any results
I am confident from over 10 years of working with people of different ages, personalities and lifestyles that you will make great results. However, if you have fully committed yourself to what I've set out, and believe it isn't working for you, you are entitled to ask for your money back.
