Doug Cartwright's Profile

Background:

I've been a full-time professional guitar teacher for 12 years, during which time I've been published as a writer of instructional material for Lick Library, Guitar Interactive Magazine and the Sound magazine, as well as taught at numerous schools and colleges including Kensington & Chelsea College, the International Guitar Foundation and the Guitar Institute in London. I specialise in contemporary modern rock techniques, improvisation concepts and applied music theory, as well as composition and production techniques for recording rock and metal music. I teach all ages and abilities, with a particular experience in working with adults and older teenage learners to develop technical command and theoretical authority on the guitar. All my lessons are bespoke to requirements, with tons of pre-written worksheets to cover all the most common aspects of guitar and the ability to generate new ones on the fly during your lesson; I always provide full notes for every class taught so you're not left confused when you return to the material in your next practice session!
