Welcome to
Hi! My name is William Berglund 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.

I think everyone has an innate ability to understand music at some level, and that it can be trained in various ways to do it better. Therefore, I apply my own learning philosophy to my students: to teach them how to fish!
I can teach you specific songs that you want to learn, which is great for any beginner or experienced player wanting to take the next step of improvement. But if I can teach you how to learn and teach yourself, by showing you what to listen and look for, then you can stop paying for teachers like me and grow your own musical abilities independently! After all, isn\’t being able to do it yourself so much more rewarding?
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.

My guitar playing has been heavily influenced by the skills I’ve applied from the other instruments I play, therefore I have a versatile array of styles that I comfortably and confidently teach. Artistically, it has been influenced mainly by Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Frank Zappa, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Tony Iommi, Zakk Wylde and Dimebag Darrell among others. Therefore, I am able to extensively and intricately teach my students various genres such as blues, rock, funk, metal, pop, RNB, but also Non-Western genres such as Latin, Indian, and Tuvan (if you are interested).

It varies depending on a students objectives, with beginners being able to learn the foundations of guitar within 6 to 12 months with consistent lessons and good practice.

Absolutely, the student can choose to learn either electric guitar or acoustic guitar (or both!).
