Guitar coach with 20 years of experience gives lessons on acoustic fingerstyle technique and arrangement

Sharim is a musical genius who has a real gift for breaking down the musically complex for a complete beginner like myself. He's passionate and delves deep, wanting you to truly understand the why behind it all rather than just rote learning chords. I always leave our lessons feeling inspired and like I've actually learned something meaningful

Having been taught by Sharim for years I can highly recommend him as a passionate, patient and enthusiastic teacher. Sharim has helped me develop my musical vocabulary, identity as well as technical ability to do so. From performance to theory, Sharim takes his time to recognise how I as a student like to learn and approach learning and adapts his material and approaches to best make me learn but also enjoy what I am learning. Having come from music teachers that were quite the opposite in the past;  Sharim has demystified the creative gene allowing to believe in myself as a musician without the self doubt of “not having it”.

During my lesson with Sharim he showed me not only what and how to play the songs I was learning but also why it works. It’s clear that he has a deep and extensive knowledge of music theory and improvisation on both the guitar and piano. The combination of theory and practical work makes learning exciting and also allows a deeper understanding of music and what playing and improvising really is, I can definitely recommend!!

I have known Sharim for a few years now, ever since we met at a Tommy Emmanuel music retreat. We have rehearsed, played and performed together several times since then so I have a good feel for his style of teaching.

Sharim is a skilled player with exactly the right attitude to teach. Not all skilled players can teach but Sharim is definitely one of those that can. His calm demeanour and ability to simplify difficult concepts create a perfect learning environment.

I recommend Sharim as your guitar teacher.

I thought Sharim had an amazing gift - he has an ability to hear a song and create an arrangement by ear. I found out it isn’t a gift! It’s a skill you can learn!

Sharim is a natural educator. He has a deep understanding of music and can easily explain complex ideas to new learners.

He is well respected by all who know him. A natural teacher for people of all ages and abilities.
