John Nicholls Music Tuition - Guitar & Bass Lessons in Hastings

I'm a professional musician and producer with over 25 years in the business. For me, private tuition is at its best when lessons are goal focussed and tailored to the individual - whether that's riffs, grades, improv, recording, or just singing around a campfire, it's all about finding what works for you. Guitar and Bass lessons are £30/hour

Before we start it's helpful to talk through what direction you'd like to go and establish exactly what you'd like to achieve. Why not come visit me in my studio for a cup of tea and a chat? I'm just off Queens Road, Hastings.

"John taught three of my children for over 10 years! They looked forward to every lesson and his commitment to teaching them theory and improvisation, as well as how to play familiar pieces, has meant they've continued to progress independently now they have left home. I would recommend him to anyone, of any age, thinking about taking lessons." Jayne Hill, London “John Nicholls taught guitar and bass at my school for more than 5 years. He is an excellent musician and built a great rapport with his students, whether they were complete beginners or advanced instrumentalists, teaching them important technical and theoretical skills but also working with the pieces they wanted to learn. John prepared our students exceptionally well for grade exams and for their performances in GCSE and A level music examinations” Fran Holdich Head of Music City of London Academy

"John's way more than just a musician, he's also an experienced producer and so has been able to help me get inside the music I want play, rather than just showing me a heap of riffs and patterns to learn parrot-fashion. I've learnt a lot of different techniques working with John, but the most important is how to teach myself" Stuart Taylor

Alongside guitar and bass lessons, I also teach production, recording, mixing, mastering, and all round studio skills. Please click on the link below for more details on my production career. Visit "My Work" to hear a portfolio.

"John continues to demystify Logic, Pro Tools, and every single production issue I throw at him. I can now finally start to take my own recordings to the level I've always sought. There's a reason he was asked to mix Eric Clapton!" Matt C
