Guitar Lessons

Around 2019, I taught a free guitar class for beginners, at Learn for Life Enterprise , a community hub based on London Road, Sheffield. Among other things, it provides English (ESOL) classes, training, support, stability and advice etc. I also started to create some online information to go with the classes.

Due to Covid, the classes closed and i have not re-started yet (May 2022), but I have decided to publish the lessons, in the hope that they might be a bit of use for others. They are aimed at those with not much money, and I've tried to write in simple English. Here is a list of the lessons.
