We can help you make measurable and tangible progress with your guitar playing and musicianship.

Whichever style you play, we will guide you towards reaching your potential in a supportive and patient environment. You can:

  • Develop a high level of technique, allowing you to play faster and with greater emotion.

  • Improvise and play better solos in your preferred style, whether that is Rock, Blues or Jazz.

  • Hold down a groove like a pro.

  • Perform the songs you love with greater emotion and precision.

  • Read music notation or tablature fluently.

  • Understand how music works on a deep level, making you a more intuitive player.

  • Enjoy playing your instrument even more, and feel truly accomplished as a musician.

All teachers are not created equal.

To make the progress you deserve, you need to unlock the knowledge that the real pros know and use.

You deserve a highly experienced teacher who understands how to connect the musical dots and communicate with you effectively.

A teacher who has their 10,000 hours as a professional musician, not just as a bedroom player.

A teacher who has been trained at the highest level by some of the best in the world. And then put that to practice in the real world.

Oliver Pikett is that Teacher.

Here's What Our Students Say

My daughter really enjoyed Oliver's guitar lessons and she has made so much progress in the last two years.

Robert W. - Parent of Anna (achieved Grade 5 Electric Guitar aged 12)

We would highly recommend Oliver to teach guitar to anyone of any age.

His passion for guitar and music is infectious and has really inspired my daughter. He has also been excellent at teaching technical
skills, from chord shapes to the theory behind each style of music and how to play each style.

Oliver’s very calm and patient approach to every lesson would suit every student and enhance their confidence and desire to enjoy every lesson and to keep progressing with their instrument.
