Welcome to
Hi! My name is Arthur Stanley and I am a guitar tutor based in York. I have many years of guitar playing, performing and teaching experience, helping students from beginner levels upwards to rapidly develop their guitar playing ability through individually tailored guitar lessons.
Whether you are an absolute novice at playing the guitar or you already have some experience, I am here to help you develop your guitar playing ability and expand your musical palette.
All of your lessons with me will be tailored to your exact individual needs and musical tastes. I am a mobile guitar teacher, able to travel to you to teach guitar, with lessons via Skype/Zoom a useful alternative if required.
I will help you get the most out of your guitar playing journey, creating practice routines that are tailored well enough to you as a student to ensure you stay motivated to complete them.

A musical and holistic way of learning: not just boring scales and theory for their own sake, but actual songs that you like and want to play, as well as how they fit in with the overarching web of practical theory, specifically as it relates to guitar technique. We will learn how music works through the songs and genres that you love.
A structured method to progress in both guitar playing and musical knowledge. All foundational and advanced elements of musical theory and practice covered – scales, arpeggios, picking techniques, improvisation, genre exploration, composition, reading musical notation, tablature and chord symbols and more.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
Check out the prices page for more information about the cost of lessons.I would recommend booking a regular lesson, either on a weekly or fortnightly bases, to ensure that you can progress at a good speed. After many years of teaching, I know that students that take sporadic lessons don't get results that they desire from learning guitar. Consistent lessons and practice is the key to success.

I have a teaching and learning philosophy where the students learn the guitar through playing the music that they are passionate about.

This is in combination with a tried and tested course of guitar lessons that have proven an excellent foundation for learning the guitar. For more advanced students we will start by exploring the aspects of your musicality that you wish to improve upon and then get to work building a tailored course of lessons that will help you reach that next level on guitar.
