Guitar & Bass Lessons in Bath
Professional Guitar Lessons in Bath – In Your Own Home
Looking for guitar or bass lessons in Bath? I offer personalised one-to-one guitar and bass lessons for children, teenagers and adults across Bath, with the convenience of lessons in your own home.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, returning to the guitar after a break, or looking to develop more advanced techniques, every lesson is tailored to your goals, musical tastes and experience.
For many students in Bath, home lessons are the ideal solution—there’s no need to battle traffic or find parking, and you can learn in a familiar, relaxed environment.
Bath has a special place in my musical journey. I attended school here and it’s where I gave my first performances and early gigs — the city has a genuinely vibrant live music scene, and the open mic nights here were where I really developed my confidence as a performer.
If you’re ever looking for guitars or gear in the area, I’d also highly recommend Guitarbitz — an excellent local guitar shop that I’ve used for years.

Learn Acoustic, Electric or Bass Guitar
Lessons are available for:
- Acoustic Guitar
- Electric Guitar
- Bass Guitar
- Complete Beginners
- Intermediate & Advanced Players
- Children, Teenagers & Adults
Every student learns differently, so lessons are built around the music you enjoy. Whether you’re inspired by classic rock, blues, indie, pop, folk, jazz or modern artists, we’ll use the music you love to develop your playing and keep you motivated.
Along the way, you’ll build strong technique, improve your musical understanding and gain the confidence to play independently.
Learn in One of Britain’s Most Musical Cities
Bath has long been a city that celebrates the arts. From its world-famous Georgian architecture and status as a UNESCO World Heritage city to its thriving programme of music festivals, concerts and live performances, creativity is woven into everyday life. The city hosts internationally recognised events including the Bath Festival, Bath Mozartfest and Bath Bachfest, bringing world-class musicians to audiences every year.
Learning an instrument is a wonderful way to become part of that creative tradition. Whether your ambition is to perform, write your own music or simply enjoy playing at home, guitar is a skill that can provide enjoyment for years to come.
