Hi, I'm Timo.

I love improvising. That moment when the backing track starts and you stop thinking about scales and just play, that's the feeling I want to help you find.

I've been playing for over four years. The blues and rock are where I feel most at home, but I love all kinds of music, and I'm happy to learn songs from any genre with you.

My playing is built around open chords, power chords, basic barre chords and, above all, the pentatonic scale. That's what I know best and what I'm most excited to teach. I also enjoy working with complete beginners, helping them get comfortable with their first chords and a strumming pattern that feels natural.

How I teach

• Music first. We play something in every lesson, however small.
• Understand, don't memorise. I'll show you why a shape works so you can use it anywhere.
• Your pace. No rush, no judgement. Slow and clean beats fast and messy.
• Your music. Tell me what you want to play and we'll build towards it.
