Starting a new instrument can be incredibly challenging, there is so much to learn and an overwhelming amount of resources.

Here at the Weal Easy Way, we adopt a simple approach to learning the guitar. It’s our aim for young and old musicians to stick at it and find the joy in playing.

We know how intimidating it is to learn a new instrument; the languge of music may as well be in Ancient Hieroglyphics. Thats where the Weal Easy Way (WEW) comes in.

The “WEW’ aims to give aspiring musicians, both young and old a shortcut to guitar competency. We want you to be able to ‘play’ the guitar as soon as possible. The main reasons most people quit their instruments are:

  • Progress is slow and practice is boring

  • Music theory is overwhelming

  • A lack of guidance as to where to go next

  • They are not able to play what they want to play

The ‘WEW’ aims to address these reasons. We teach students to play the ‘party tricks’ first, so that practice/playing at home is fun and fulfilling. Then when someone asks you if you can play a song, you can! After we’ve learnt the party tricks we will then learn the what, the why and the how of playing the guitar. Learning theory will move from a confusing and intimidating endevaour to a series of ‘AHAA’ moments where the guitar just starts to make sense.

Testimonials

  • I really enjoy my lessons with Nick. Our lessons are always fun and informative, he's shown me many ways to play chords I've used to play any song I like. I would totally recommend Nick for guitar lessons.

  • Loving my lessons with Nick, our 2nd lesson things clicked for me. We've been learning about chord progressions; now I can play my songs in different ways. He is helping me put together the theory I've learnt, helping make the guitar make sense and not so daunting. Loving it.

  • I am a singer, Nick has been helping me with my songwriting. Our lessons are so fun, we find a sound that works, Nick records it over his loop pedal, and then we use theory to find a good melody. I'm also learning about the guitar as well. Nick is so friendly, I love our lessons.
