You don’t have to sell your soul to play like Robert Johnson.

Scale up your practice and play like the best without the stress

One-to-one guitar sessions that take you from ‘campfire’ to on fire.

Ready to master the blues for good this time?

If you’ve recently gone back to the guitar after a break, you’ve likely spent hours flicking through books and between videos trying to piece together the skills you need to progress, and only confusing yourself more in the process.

You might know what you need to learn, but figuring out how is a different beast. The sheer amount of information out there is overwhelming, and the more content you drown yourself in, the more frustrated and demotivated you get.

Yet you know if you don’t make sense of it all, you’ll slip off the practice wagon and quit. And you don’t want to settle for ‘campfire guitarist’, do you?

Well, guess what? You don’t have to.

There’s an easier way to find the ‘aha’ moments you’re looking for.

The fact is, online resources can only take you so far. The key to improving isn’t hiding at the bottom of the content barrel – but it is within your reach.

Improvising will come easy once you understand:

  • How the notes connect, so you’re not just playing someone else’s music but making it your own
  • Where you’re going right and wrong and what you need to do to move forward
  • What you should practice, and how often to reach your guitar playing goals

Sure, books and videos can help. But they lack the personalized feedback such progress requires.

They can’t show you where you’re going wrong

They can’t correct your technique

And they won’t keep you accountable

So what can you do?

I’m here to show you.

Hi, I’m Ben, a born and raised blues guitarist committed to helping you master the music you love.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve built a successful career as a musician and guitar teacher, touring the UK and teaching thousands of students. But it didn’t always come easy to me. I spent years searching for that one magic method to play like Robert Johnson, only to realise it doesn’t actually exist.

I learnt to play everything from jazz to flamenco before I realised the answer was right in front of me: the best way to learn the music you love is by studying it. Not by getting bogged down in books.

Once I stopped being a jack of all trades musician and focused on refining my acoustic blues skills, I found my voice on the guitar. And I made it my mission to help dazed and confused blues pickers do the same.

Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of players grasp the skills they need to improve through personalized guitar sessions and guidance. And now it’s your turn.

Personalised online sessions to get you pickin’ like a pro.

The Blues Guitar Sessions are live 1:1 online sessions designed to help you fill the gaps in your knowledge, master new skills, and fast-track your way to jamming to the blues. With personalized support tailored to you and your goals, you can finally trade the time you spend scrolling through YouTube for solid practice.

Regular live guitar sessions that build your confidence and teach you the skills you need to progress without the stress

A customised practice plan that tells you what to work on each day to maximize your time and consistently hit your goals

Personalised follow up videos that distil the skills you’ve learnt in each session, so you know you’re playing the right way

Control over what you learn with song requests so you can jam to the music you love

An experienced mentor who shares your love for the blues on tap to answer your questions and clear your path to success

“I find this more useful than some face to face courses.”

Improve your playing in just a few hours.

After just a few rounds of sessions, you’ll find the ‘aha’ moments you’ve spent years searching for. You’ll:

  • Gain control over your practice and progress
  • Grasp how different notes and chords work together
  • Find the confidence to become a social strummer

  • Feel accountable and motivated to stay on the practice wagon

It’s time for real progression.

 

You could pour thousands of dollars per year into membership subscriptions and courses and get nowhere because you have no accountability, no personalized feedback and no clear learning path. Or you could start improving today.

If we’re talking practice, then yes. But in terms of sessions, you’re free to book as many or as few as you like. I’m not interested in tying you into a block of sessions you can’t commit to, so you can pay as you pick or buy a round of sessions and pay per month. Rest assured, you’ll get the same service no matter what.

It’s no problem. As long as you let me know at least 24 hours in advance, you can reschedule a session for free. This is capped at 2 sessions per block if you’re on a weekly plan. If you need to reschedule more than twice during the month, you may lose the sessions you’ve booked. Alternatively, you can reschedule your regular slot by dropping me an email. I’ll try to accommodate you as best I can.

While I can give you the feedback, advice and plan to progress, it takes a lot of work from your side, too. Exactly how far you can go depends on a few things, including your current skill level, your session frequency and the time you can commit to practising. What I can say is that you get out what you put in. If you’re willing to invest the time and effort, you’ll see real results in just a few sessions.
