Your Guitar Academy

Walk into a lesson with Hugh Wheatley and one thing becomes immediately clear — this is not a generic music class. Everything about the experience is built around you: your goals, your taste in music, your learning style, your schedule, and your pace. That commitment to personalised guitar coaching is at the core of everything Your Guitar Academy does.
Hugh takes the time to really understand each student before designing their learning programme. What kind of music excites you? Have you tried to learn before? What stopped you? What do you want to be able to do six months from now? These are the questions that shape every tailored plan Hugh creates, ensuring that lessons always feel relevant, purposeful, and deeply engaging.
The academy's beginner to advanced guitar lessons follow a natural, well-structured progression that builds genuine competence at every stage. Beginners develop strong technique and musical instincts from day one, avoiding the bad habits that self-teaching so often creates. As students move into intermediate and advanced territory, Hugh introduces richer harmonic concepts, more complex rhythmic patterns, and the kind of expressive nuance that separates good players from truly memorable ones.
Acoustic and electric guitar, fingerstyle and flatpicking, lead and rhythm — Hugh covers it all with equal enthusiasm and expertise. There is no genre bias, no rigid curriculum, and no pressure to fit into a particular musical box. Students are encouraged to bring their own musical identity into every lesson.
If you have ever felt that guitar lessons were not quite right for you, there is a good chance the problem was not the guitar — it was the approach. Hugh Wheatley's personalised style changes everything. Come and experience the difference for yourself. Read more
