Acoustic Guitar Lessons in County Antrim

Learn To Change Chords Smoothly So That You Can Play Famous Songs

You may be struggling to teach yourself how to play your favourite songs. I’ve been there and I can sympathise with the frustration you may feel. The reason for this is you are missing very important pieces of a much bigger puzzle in your guitar playing. Do you want to keep messing up when you try to play for your friends, your family, or your girlfriend? Do you want them to keep asking, “What’s that you’re playing? I don’t recognise it.” No, of course you don’t!

Maybe you want to play popular campfire acoustic songs. Maybe you want to write your own songs. Maybe you want to play with friends, family, in a church, in a band, etc. I’d love to help you with any of these goals. All the songbooks, YouTube lessons and DVDs out there miss out on very important information that you need and don’t present the information that they do give you in the correct order. It’s not your fault, and there is a solution!

You’re not alone. I know how you feel having experienced this problem myself when I was learning how to play the guitar by teaching myself. I would often be too nervous to play in front of anyone or be worried that if anyone heard my playing, they wouldn’t think I was any good! I was so frustrated that what I was playing didn’t sound the way it should. It was just plain bad at times. I really wanted to show off what I could do, but I couldn’t actually do it yet. I can relate to you because of this and also because I help people overcome these exact same problems every week when I’m teaching. I’ve been doing this for 10 years in 1000’s of guitar lessons with 100’s of people.

You may have got a beginner DVD with a guitar you bought showing you a few chord shapes, right? Maybe you have tried looking up free YouTube lessons all night or all weekend too. I sure did back in the day! Maybe you have books that don’t seem to help you overcome the problems you have. Maybe a well-meaning friend or a family member who plays guitar has tried showing you a few things too, but this hasn’t helped you either and only makes you more frustrated!

Would a doctor try to teach himself how to practice medicine? Would a pilot teach himself how to fly? No! This isn’t how learning to play guitar works either. These solutions have failed because you need to learn from one trusted and proven source that has helped many other people in similar situations. You need a source that has a reputation for helping people overcome these problems every single week. These students were just like you, looking for the best acoustic guitar lessons in County Antrim. You can’t learn from multiples sources like this because you’re not qualified to discern between what good information is and what bad information is.

Imagine if you discovered how to overcome these problems with a proven strategy instead. Imagine if you did this with a guitar teacher that dedicates his life to helping his students and who would be walking you through the entire process as well. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

Then, you could finally play the songs you want because you have the missing pieces of the puzzle that weren’t presented to you before or that you overlooked. It is crucial that you learn things in the right order. I know exactly how to help you because I do this every week with people just like you.

Here's what Chris has to say about his experience

This means that you can finally overcome these problems and never have to experience them again!

I was once like you, so I can relate to the exact problems you are going through. I not only got through them myself, but I’ve helped many other people overcome them as well. Now, I want to help you.

If You Want To Play Guitar, I Want To Teach You

People sometimes have misconceptions and bad information about what it takes to play guitar. They may think they don’t have any natural rhythm, that they need “natural talent”, they don’t have an ear for music, they worry that they can’t read music, they may think they’re too old, they may think that their hands are too big and they may even think that they hands are too slow if they are older.

None of this matters at all. Learning guitar is a skill that anyone can learn. Whatever level you are currently at can be increased exponentially in a very short period of time. Let’s get you started today, whether you want to learn pop, indie, folk, country or even acoustic blues! If you want to learn guitar, I will teach you.

Michael is a great teacher and would highly recommend him to anyone considering learning the guitar. Relaxing and welcoming teaching style paired with his expertise makes it an enjoyable learning environment.

I have really enjoyed having guitar lessons with Michael for the past three years. I taught myself how to play the guitar a bit when I was younger but I didn’t play much. I couldn’t really progress much on my own.When I started with Michael he explained a lot about playing the guitar especially about strumming patterns. I had never heard about strumming patterns!Michael is an excellent teacher and I have made a lot of progress.One of the best things about the lessons is that Michael gives us an opportunity to play with other musicians and himself at the end of the lesson.

My daughter has been attending Michael’s guitar school for the last 8 months or so and her progress has been amazing. She has completed her Grade one exam and is now going straight on to Grade 3. Her confidence in the electric guitar has soared. We had tried other teachers before Michael with no success or progress. He is a brilliant teacher with patience and understanding. Five stars is not enough but that’s the highest it allows me to give. She loves attending her lessons and impresses me every week with what she has learned. Worth every penny. Fabulous.

I have enjoyed lessons with Michael immensely. As a pensioner student, who has noodled aimlessly since my early teens, I wish I had started lessons at a much younger age but nevertheless have found it easy but still challenging to fit into Michaels classes and his style of teaching. Discovering the basics of what made the great guitarists great has been an eye-opener. There is really nothing that can substitute for this type of face-to-face tuition. The short group sessions at the end of each lesson, which seemed scary to me at first, were instead a pleasant opportunity to see that you were improving and had more ability than you first thought. It’s never too late to start learning.

Always a welcoming and friendly atmosphere at lessons, and the structure of them offers a lot more than sitting in a traditional 1 to 1 lesson.Michael really knows his stuff, and has his resources nailed so that any level of guitar player can understand how and why certain exercises help you to progress as a player. It makes the motivation to practice so much greater and makes it enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Before coming to Michael I was stuck in a guitar rut having not had a lesson in over 10 years and having no clue where to go with my attempts at self teaching. I came to Michael to see if he could help and the change has been incredible! I’ve been doing lessons with him for over a year now – he understands exactly what you want to achieve and knows how to get you there. With Michaels guidance my playing has coming along further in one year than it had in over 10 years of self teaching! There’s a great mix between improv, theory, and song lessons. If you’re a guitarist that feels a bit stuck, give Michael a try! He’ also very patient so I’m sure he’d be great for beginners.

I’d been playing for many years as a self-taught guitarist but Michael was able to help me improve in a short time with his fun and interesting lessons, helping me overcome some bad habits and increasing my theory knowledge. He’s a patient teacher who knows his craft well and makes the lessons very enjoyable.

I decided to learn to play acoustic guitar on my retirement as it was something I had always wanted to do. A postal flyer and a phone call was all it took. It turned out to be one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Michael is very dedicated and an excellent tutor. In the two plus years that I have been attending classes my guitar skills have increased greatly thanks to Michael’s attention to detail and encouragement. If you have the drive and desire to learn Michael will definitely help you reach your goal.
