  • Tutors trained at top UK and international music conservatoires

Guitar Styles Taught in Marylebone

Our tutors cover a broad range of guitar styles, so whether you have a clear musical direction in mind or are still exploring, we can guide you:

  • Classical and fingerpicking guitar

  • Rock and electric guitar

  • Jazz guitar and chord melody

  • Acoustic and singer-songwriter style

  • Funk and rhythm guitar
     

Working across multiple styles helps students become more versatile, expressive musicians and often leads to discovering a sound they didn't even know they loved.

Jazz Guitar, A Style Worth Exploring

One style that comes up frequently with our Marylebone students is jazz guitar, and for good reason.

Jazz guitar develops a level of harmonic understanding and improvisational freedom that benefits players of every genre. Students who explore jazz consistently find their overall musicianship takes a significant leap forward.

In jazz-focused lessons, students typically explore:

  • Jazz chord voicings and extensions

  • The CAGED system and fretboard navigation

  • Improvisation over chord changes

  • Swing rhythm and comping techniques

  • Iconic jazz standards as a learning framework
     

Even if jazz isn't your primary interest, dipping into it regularly makes you a sharper, more musical guitarist across the board.
