One-on-one guitar lessons with Timo. Learn your first chords, lock in the pentatonic scale, and finally understand what you're playing on the fretboard.
Whether you've never held a guitar or you're stuck in the same few licks, we start where you are.
For complete beginners. Hold your guitar, tune it, learn the open chords and make your first song sound like a song.
My favourite thing to teach. Learn all five pentatonic boxes, then use them to solo over real backing tracks.
Unlock the whole neck. Movable chord shapes so you can play in any key and cover pop, rock and beyond.
Every open chord is just a pattern of dots on the neck. Learn the shape, learn the sound. Here's a C major chord, exactly where your fingers go.
An A5 is only three strings and three notes, and it's the backbone of thousands of songs. Slide it up the neck and it becomes any key.
The A minor pentatonic, Box 1. Five notes, ten fret positions, and the most useful scale on the guitar. This is where improvising begins.
Connect the boxes and the fretboard stops being a maze. You'll know where you are, where you're going and how to get there.

I'm a guitarist based in Cape Town, and I've been playing for over four years. Blues and rock are home turf. Improvisation is what I love most, and it's what I most enjoy helping people with: taking the pentatonic scale from a set of boxes to something you can actually play music with.
I also teach complete beginners their first chords and strumming, without the overwhelm. Lessons are relaxed, practical and at your pace.
Absolutely. The Starter Pack is built for you. We begin with holding the guitar, tuning and your very first chords.
No. Acoustic, electric or classical all work. As long as it's in tune and playable, we can get going.
Payments go through Yoco, a South African payment provider. Your card details are never stored on this website.
