Have you wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but have been too confused by the theory or chord shapes to play the songs you aspire to? Liam's guitar lessons can help you achieve your musical dreams!

Liam’s Background and Experience:

Liam loves exploring new unconventional guitar techniques and concepts; however, Liam also tutors more traditional methods such as how to read guitar tablature, the musical stave, chord charts, rhythm notation, improvisation, scales and modes, songwriting, how to tune by ear / interval and chord recognition, general guitar maintenance (like how to change your strings), and more.

Liam has been playing guitar and performing for over 25 years, has a Bachelor of Contemporary Music, a Blue Card, and has tutored for over 15 years through various schools and music institutions, as well as privately. He plays a variety of steel-string acoustic and electric guitars with the use of amplifiers and FX pedals. Liam applies unusual techniques to his own compositions such as two handed tapping, thumping harmonics, neck bending, and alternate tunings to name a few. During the last 20 years of playing, composing, and performing, Liam has pursued his own educational endeavours; and has attained a Certificate IV in Contemporary Music, a Diploma of Contemporary Music, and most recently a Bachelor of Contemporary Music.

As well as helping students with any school tasks they may be concerned with, Liam greatly enjoys working with his
students to find music that they enjoy listening to and learning about, which in turn increases motivation and a thirst for
knowledge. Liam feels it’s never too late to start learning guitar, and teaches students of all ages.

Liam plays and composes for the original band he co-created, "Cloud Ladder", and another instrumental side project known as "A Mobius Knot". To hear their music (and some of Liam’s solo work), you can do so by going to the web addresses below:
