Hi, I’m Greg Bakke — a professional Guitar Teacher with over 20 years playing experience helping students of all ages and skill levels achieve their musical goals. 🎸✨
Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player looking to refine your craft, I'm here to guide you every step of the way and make learning an exciting journey.
Contact MeI’ve been teaching guitar professionally in Newbury and the south of England for over 10 years. I hold a first-class honours degree in BMus Guitar Performance from the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, which provided a solid foundation across a wide range of musical styles.
My passion for teaching led me to create an online lesson platform at SimplyGuitar.com. There, I offer hundreds of lessons ranging from beginner fundamentals to advanced techniques, ensuring guitarists of all levels have the resources they need to excel.
My approach emphasises strong fundamentals, creativity, and personal expression. I want every student to feel inspired, confident, and excited about playing the guitar, whether they’re dreaming of performing on stage or just want to play for fun at home.
For students who prefer face-to-face instruction in a relaxed setting, I provide home visits in Newbury, West Berkshire, and even Central London. Home lessons offer a personalised approach, allowing you to receive direct feedback and hands-on help in real-time.
The cost is £100 Per Hour, and I’m always open to discussing discounts or payment plans for longer-term commitments. Each home lesson also includes complimentary access to SimplyGuitar.com, so you have plenty of practice materials to keep you motivated and on track.
In today's digital world, learning remotely is more accessible than ever. I teach 2-3 hours daily via the Simply Guitar Classroom, a virtual platform optimised for interactive guitar lessons. This setup ensures high-quality audio and video, helping you get the most out of each lesson from wherever you are.
Online lessons cost £60 Per Hour, and you also receive full access to SimplyGuitar.com for additional resources. Whether you’re looking to master chords, sharpen your lead guitar skills, or pick up a new style, my online lessons have you covered. Learn at your own pace, with flexible scheduling to suit your lifestyle.
I firmly believe in nurturing young talent early. I collaborate with multiple local primary schools to provide affordable group or one-on-one sessions for aspiring guitarists. This is an excellent way to introduce children to music in a supportive, collaborative, and enjoyable environment.
Each student also receives premium access to SimplyGuitar.com, ensuring they can continue practising at home. This balanced approach of in-school lessons plus online resources sets them up for long-term success and a lifelong passion for music. 🎵
School lessons cost £20 per lesson. My mission is to inspire the next generation of guitarists by cultivating not just their technical skills, but also their love for music and creativity. 🤩
Investing in your musical journey is the first step to unlocking your full potential as a guitarist. I offer multiple lesson formats to fit your lifestyle and location, and all students enjoy complimentary access to SimplyGuitar.com. This online platform bolsters in-person or virtual lessons, offering a comprehensive learning experience that will help you become a confident musician. 🌟
