The backstory:

There's always an easier way to play...

It's a long time ago since I saw a guitar in the back of a department store catalogue in 1999 and asked my Mom for a guitar. It was the first time I had voiced interest in an instrument by myself and luckily for me I had an acoustic guitar in my hands within a week, on one condition: that I would practice!! I was 13, in the final year of my current school cycle and began my guitar journey from there, swapping guitar tips at lunch breaks with friends until the final night of school I saw a local band of past students come back and play "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits.

Something changed for me that night: I knew I wouldn't get from strumming open chords by myself to playing fast solos on an electric so I asked if I could go for guitar lessons. The next five years of my playing life still count as the some of the fondest as I was lucky enough to meet an amazing teacher. Any guitar question, problem or ambition I had, he had the answer and it brought me great confidence as a player to have found something I could progress at and find my tribe in the process!

All I ever wanted to do after school was be a guitar teacher and I've been fortunate to teach professionally for the past 10 years, holding a diploma in guitar teaching as well as a 24 hour world record attempt guitar lesson given in Galway City back in 2017. Raising funds for Jigsaw Galway in the process. I've played festivals such as Electric Picnic, Body & Soul and Sea Sessions, recorded in some pretty nice studios such as Grouse Lodge (Muse, Michael Jackson recorded there) but it's always come back to teaching for me.

My goal with every lesson is to educate in a fun manner and give students the tools and teaching to believe in themselves, on and off the guitar.
