Serving students in and around Central Brighton.
Dominic teaches from his home studio in central Brighton, just a three-minute walk from Brighton Station, close to The Eddy pub (BN1). The studio is a relaxed, light-filled space filled with plants, designed for focused, creative learning. Students have access to a range of professional equipment including Fender electric guitars, acoustic and Spanish classical guitars, a Fender Vibrolux amplifier, vintage Roland Space Echo, Logic Pro and studio monitors.
There are multiple nearby car parks including Brighton Station and Trafalgar Street car parks, both within a short walk. On-street parking is available locally (subject to CPZ restrictions).
Expert tutoring and structure make anything possible! 🎉
Dominic combines his own experience and skill with our hand crafted course material and write up tools, to offer the complete learning experience. Our course material works in a very specific way that guarantees success. We teach you a new technique, skill or piece of theory via the course material, then as you improve in that we apply it to real world songs.
Plus, after the lesson you can find your material, notes and feedback live in your login area, direct from Dominic, so you don’t miss a beat! This means you get the understanding of what you are doing, the ability to do it, and the fun of playing the songs you love! What could be better?
Lesson notes Tuesday 10th March
Great work today Jen, you absolutely smashed those chord changes! You've now completed the second lesson of our course. 🎉
So, this week I want you to continue working with this spider exercise, but now that you have the hang of it, try to do it at 70BPM, as we did in the lesson. Here's the tab as a reminder for you:
As well as that, with your 3 chords, I want you to try this slightly altered strumming pattern, once again alongside the beat that we were practising to.
Best of luck with your practice, Jen, and if you have any questions at all, just reach out and let me know.
See you next week, Dominic.
