Our Guitar Teachers
Liam Bradford
Liam Bradford is a fun and friendly guitarist with nearly ten years of experience, and a Bachelor of Applied Music (Performance) through Box Hill Institute. Starting his musical journey at 14, Liam immediately found himself swayed with passion for the instrument, having not put his guitar down since. That passion has led him to develop a taste for a multitude of genres, varying from rock and metal to the blues, jazz and, even pop!
Experience
He boasts a wide stretch of musical endeavours. Liam started supporting local bands, before studying at Box Hill Institute, where he was a part of the afrobeat and soul lab ensembles there. Nowadays, Liam works with the Adrenaline Music Group, where he composes entrance music for local professional wrestlers.
Everything he does comes with passion, and he brings that vibrancy with him to his teaching.
Teaching Style
Liam's classes include teaching both the method and the theory, assuring that his students can leave the class with a good grasp on how to read sheet music too. He's a very dedicated educator, assuring that each lesson is curated specifically for his students' needs. As each class is curated around fun, Liam takes a more personal approach, taking onboard their interests to deliver a class that is both a lesson and an experience. He strives to make sure his students leave class feeling rewarded.
To him, music is joy - and he wants to teach that and encourage it in his students.

Teaching Style
Ned's approach to teaching focuses on building relationships through communication that allows him to work with his students to tailor lessons to their musical goals and interests, with the balance between technical focus and personal ambition to maximize engagement and improvement.
His experience teaching freelance as well as at primary schools has cultivated and refined such a style.
Ned has a unique and genuine understanding of young students' situations, and an enhanced capacity to guide students through VCE and AMEB exams, as well as casual musical interests.
Guitar Lessons FAQ
Can I teach myself guitar?
So, the answer is yes, you can teach yourself to play the guitar. But having a competent instructor will make learning the guitar much easier and faster. When you learn to play the guitar from someone who spent years learning and teaching this instrument, you simply get more knowledge and experience than if you do it yourself.
What should I learn first on guitar?
Open chord playing
A beginner guitarist's first step in learning the instrument is to learn open chords. If you can master those three, you can play a wide variety of radio hits. One of the greatest ways to learn the fundamentals of the guitar is to follow a chord chart.
In the guitar, what are the five most fundamental chords?
C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major are the 5 chords we'll analyze. We stick to major chords since it's easy to make minor versions of any chord by shifting a few notes around.
What is the hardest way to play the guitar?
Barre chords
We're not joking around when we call barre chords the most difficult type of guitar chord to play. Despite popular belief, the reason why so many guitarists can pull them off is not that they are simple but because they are necessary.
