About John Slattery Guitar Tutoring


John Slattery has many years of experience in the music business, playing in bands and teaching guitar. All age groups, all levels of experience and all musical styles and interests are catered for. Electric and acoustic guitar and electric bass tuition are available. The lessons are on a one-to-one basis - either face-to-face in-person or online - the choice is yours.

John can provide expert tuition from beginner to intermediate and advanced levels. He specialises in rock and blues but has wide teaching/professional band experience in many other musical genres. He has taught many children and adults of all ages and backgrounds but lessons are always geared towards the individual interests and requirements of each student - for instance learning to play and broaden their experience (and enjoyment! ) of the music they are interested in; improving techniques and performance skills; backing up school tuition or simply relaxing and unwinding with a guitar.

Fees: £20 for 60 minutes or £12 for 30 minutes.

What you will need for your lessons:
. Guitar tuner - small, inexpensive ones can be easily obtained online.
. For Electric and Bass Guitar - an amp as well as a guitar and for Acoustic Guitar - just your guitar.
. If you prefer online lessons you will need either Facebook or Zoom . John is happy to advise on any of the above.

Great teacher, I’ve asked John to teach me some punk sings from the late 70s, he does loads of research into how the songs should be played and teaches me in a very patient and well structured way. Cheers John ! ? .

Been brilliant going back to See John for Tutoring. I was losing momentum with my playing and since going back to lessons, Ive been really enjoying the guitar again. He gives simple but brilliant tips to make my playing sound 10 times better than it did. I would totally recommend his lessons for any standard of player.

I have been having lessons with John for about two months after years of trying to teach myself. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and patient and a fantastic guitarist. We share the same tastes in music so everything is explained and shown thoroughly. He has been like a breath of fresh air on my journey and would highly recommend him to anyone.

I've been having lessons with John for a while and he's been great. As a 40 year old learning guitar without any musical background he has really put me at ease. He takes the time to learn about your taste in music and helps you learn song that you'd like to perform. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who'd like to have lessons.

My daughter has been tutored weekly by John for the last 7 months or so, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is so knowledgable, talented, flexible, approachable as well as humorous. Lessons are always fun, he bases the lessons on the music she loves as well as introducing lots of other different genres and styles to her repertoire to build her skills. A true professional, a real gent and highly skilled teacher and an amazing guitarist. .

I've been having guitar lessons with John now for a few months and I'd highly recommend him. John has tailored the lessons to what I wanted to get out of them and the type of music that I want to learn. I've practiced guitar on and off over the years but having these face to face lessons has really inspired me to practice more and progress. John is very friendly, I felt relaxed from the first lesson and I now look forward to each session.

I’m Ashton I’m 10 years old and I have lessons every week. I love my lessons I have learnt so much I can read music I know my cords and I have learnt to play several songs by my favourite band the Beatles. John is the best teacher I’ve ever had he makes learning fun and I look forward to every lesson.

Got in touch with john as I felt I could no longer try to teach myself and was in a rut after a couple of weeks lessons with him I was actually beginning to learn again. my eyes and ears were starting to pick up on all sorts of melodies and patterns plus a lot of music theory all of which I was struggling with I always come away from each lesson armed with a bit more knowledge and confidence no question is to silly or embarrassing to ask as john will always take the time to make sure you have understood all that he is trying teach you he will put you at ease in a comfortable surrounding and sometimes his jokes are funny to.

John was teaching my son guitar from scratch for one summer and he made a great progress. I've seen the lessons and all I can say is that John has an individual approach to every student and he really knows how to get kids interested and excited about music. Unfortunately we cannot use John's services anymore due to moving home, but a friend of ours has been learning guitar with John for some years and is also extremely happy.

(ROCK ON PEOPLE) I Did.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her guitar lessons with John. He gave her confidence to try something new and built up a good relationship with her. He was very reasonably priced compared to other music teachers so offered excellent value for money. He was professional yet friendly.

Firstly, this guy is brilliant. The transition from guitar dreamer to actually doing it, is often the hardest part. John makes this a doddle. His easy going style, knowledge of all types of guitar, styles and genres plus his experience from playing in various bands, will give you confidence in what you're paying for. He teaches you in an encouraging way, with plenty of patience and you never feel like you're making mistakes (you will, I assure you but it doesn't matter). John glides through his tuition, and as you get more proficient, he will throw in a few unexpected 'jams' where you both play live together, and that's where you learn most. Loved my time there and I'm sure you will too.

I have been going to John for guitar lessons for the past 3 years and thanks to John, I am now a confident guitar player. John is a very skilled guitarist and his musical knowledge spans a variety of genres. John is a very friendly, accommodating and patient teacher. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar.

John is a very knowledgeable and skilled guitarist, who is a very friendly and patient teacher. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar.

I started lessons with John nearly 2 years ago and was very nervous at first but John put me at ease the moment we met. John is extremely patient and if I’m finding anything difficult he will suggest an easier way for me. John has a vast knowledge of music and his guitar playing is exceptional. I cannot praise him highly enough. We quickly established that we like the same music and an added bonus is his magical, wicked sense of humour. Having lessons with John is a truly joyous experience and long may the lessons continue.

My son had guitar lessons with John for almost a year. John was very patient and motivating towards my son. Unfortunately my son didn’t have the passion for it and gave up however within the year he learned great skills and can still play some songs on the guitar. I highly recommend him and am hoping my daughter will want to learn when she’s a bit older! He is the best.
Peter Bergelin

John is an excellent guitar teacher. He is knowledgeable, professional, helpful and friendly. My son started with John two years ago and loves his lessons, he says John is an excellent teacher with a vast knowledge of different styles of songs. My son picked up playing guitar very quickly under Johns guidance and really looks forward to and enjoys his lessons. If you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced I would highly recommend John and his enthusiasm for the guitar.

John has been giving our 13yr old son guitar lessons for the last year after being highly recommended by a friend. Our son has improved greatly since starting lessons with Johm and just achieved his grade 4. John has always been accommodating and flexible with lessons and is a very accomplished guitar player across a range of musical genres. His knowledge and experience makes guitar lessons fun and enjoyable.
