and help you become a confident guitarist
Welcome to Teknique Guitar and Bass Tuition, the premier destination for aspiring guitarists and bassists of all ages and abilities in Thanet, East Kent. Our experienced tutor, Simon Pressley, based in Broadstairs, has spent many years honing his craft and helping hundreds of students develop their skills as musicians. With a firm belief in structured and tailored lessons, Simon is committed to helping you improve your musical abilities at your own pace.
At Teknique Guitar and Bass Tuition, we offer a range of services designed to meet the needs of all our students. Whether you are a complete beginner or a more practiced guitarist looking to move up to the next level, we have something for you. Our tutoring programme covers all aspects of musical theory, using practical examples to help you extend your knowledge and improve your skills. With a focus on developing fundamental guitar skills, such as dexterity, timing, and harmony, we aim to teach whole songs as soon as possible, so you can enjoy and be inspired by your own efforts.
If you're looking to be part of a band or improve your playing skills in a band environment, Simon's extensive experience as a gigging professional musician gives him all the skills to pass on to you. We can help you build new guitar playing skills in each lesson, and if you prefer a transferable qualification, we offer 1 to 1 tuition in the internationally recognised Rockschool programme (Grades 1 - 8).
