Winner of the 2023 'Guitar Tutor of the Year - Midlothian' SME Scottish Enterprise Award.

My name is Jake and I am a skilled, calm and professional guitar tutor based in Bonnyrigg. I have studied the guitar for over twenty years, and completed the BA (Hons) Popular Music course at Edinburgh Napier University in 2014 with a 1st Class Honours degree. I am PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) certified; proof can be provided upon request.


Please watch my video for examples of popular songs/styles and techniques I am able to teach you.


Quotes from current students:

“Jake has been my guitar teacher since 2017, and I’ve been enjoying the lessons thoroughly. He’s got amazing talent and knows exactly what he’s talking about – theory (scales, modes), technique, improvisation etc. He’s able to teach all of that in an interesting way. He’s also very flexible and keen to either recommend a lesson subject or ask me what I’d like to learn instead. He’s also very friendly and easy to talk to, so the lessons just fly by. Overall, can’t recommend him enough!” – Lukasz.


“I have been learning guitar with Jake since 2019 and he has helped me go from an absolute beginner with zero experience to being able to play songs which I want to learn. Its been a really good experience and has allowed me to learn how to do something which I had always wanted to try. Lessons were in person up until March 2020 and then moved to online Skype due to the covid lockdown. Jake had invested in equipment such as professional cameras and microphones to be able to provide digital lessons to the same quality and high standard which I was having in person and I have continued to improve my skills during this time. Now I have the option of online or in-person. I would highly recommend Jake's services if you are looking to learn guitar!” - Craig.

“I have been working under Jake's guidance for almost four years now, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Jake's approach to teaching is fresh and dynamic, he has the patience required of a great instructor, and always maintains high-quality standards. The learning materials he will provide are excellent and, as you will progress, more and more personalised. Due to the covid pandemic, Jake seamlessly moved his lessons to an online format (via Skype) setting up everything to match the in-person sessions, and nothing of note got lost in the transition and the quality wasn't affected at all. Could not recommend more if you are looking for an experienced and engaging musician to learn from scratch or grow further!” - Federico
