Welcome to my free online lessons!
Besides my music lessons in the Ipswich area, I offer free online content for guitar students. This page is growing so please check back in future! Alternatively, you can look at my BSL guitar tuition page: BSL Guitar Tuition – although this is specifically designed for Deaf students, the page is relevant to all students (hearing or Deaf) and has a large amount of free lesson content.
If you have any questions please get in touch via the contact page of this website.
Turn up loud and enjoy yourselves!

7 Motivation ideas for Beginner Guitarists – by Tom Hunt
Lead playing:
Lick 1: ‘Woke up this morning’ – Classic bluesy lick with the blues scale – Beginner/Intermediate
Building Rock and Blues Solos Part 1 – E Minor Pentatonic Exercises and licks – Beginner/Intermediate
Lick 2: ‘Bold as Hendrix’ – Blues/Rock lick in the style of Jimi – Intermediate
Games:
Guitar Memory Game – Beginner
I have created a guitarist’s version of the classic card game ‘Memory’. I’m hoping it will be a useful resource for fellow guitar teachers, parents of young students and anyone else who fancies it! The content on the cards is based on the book ‘Rockschool Debut Guitar’ and so is beginner level.
Songs – Chord Sheets:
Note on chord sheets: the ‘/’ after a chord name is a shorthand symbol. It indicates for how many additional beats you should stay on that chord.
The ‘]’ symbol indicates the end of a bar (in most songs there are 4 beats in each bar).
Chords: Three Little Birds – Bob Marley – Chords– Beginner
Chords: Knocking on Heaven’s Door – Bob Dylan – Chords– Beginner
For short courses on song-writing, improvising and playing the blues please visit the E-book section of my site. For example, check out my beginner’s guitar improv course here: ‘Jam Along With Tom’
