George Capon Guitar Lessons
Online one-to-one guitar lessons with clarity and structure
I specialise in teaching pop, rock, blues and folk music on the guitar, and welcome players of any level - from complete beginners to more advanced players. My lessons cover chords, scales, rhythm and lead playing. With a degree from the London School of Music and over eight years of teaching experience, my aim is to give every student clarity, direction, and the confidence that they're on the right path.
Lessons for older teens and adults
Whether you're a self-taught player looking for an alternative to repeating the same chords and riffs, or a complete beginner feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of YouTube videos promising to take you from “zero to pro”, my lessons are designed to create clarity and build confidence at any level.
Lessons are guided and structured, focusing on the songs and genres you want to play, with clear direction on what to practise and why.
Lessons for younger players
For younger players, lessons are structured yet flexible, ensuring each student has the right balance for their age, experience, and learning style. Building confidence and consistency is a key focus, with clear, achievable goals that help students see and feel their progress over time.
Parents are kept informed about what we're working on, along with any materials or guidance needed between lessons, so progress continues outside of the session as well.
Online lessons (Zoom)
- Lessons are taught online via Zoom and work well for both adults and younger players.
- I'm happy to help you get set up before the first lesson to ensure everything runs smoothly and lesson time is used effectively.
- Each lesson finishes with clear guidance on what to practice, so you always know what to focus on between sessions.
What students and parents say
We contacted George when my son wanted to learn guitar, and it was the best decision we could have made. My son is thriving and looks forward to every lesson. George always follows up with a WhatsApp message and a video to reinforce the lesson.
George is a brilliant teacher. My son has been having lessons with George for almost a year now and has learnt so much. The patience of a saint. Highly recommend!
At the age of 40 I decided to learn guitar during lockdown. I initially used online tutorials and thought they gave me everything I needed — how wrong I was. George has a relaxed, easy manner which makes learning a joy.
George listens to what you actually want to work on and tailors lessons with a mix of theory and application in a clear, structured way. Moving online has not diminished the quality of teaching at all.
I started lessons over Zoom and couldn't recommend George more. After a few months my playing had drastically improved compared to years of trying to teach myself online.
