Solo guitarist and session musician.
"I’ve known Leon for 10 years. From the outset, it was clear that he was an exceptionally gifted guitarist. A sublime “touch” player with an enviable finger-style dexterity. I’ve seen him ease through his articulate blues vocabulary, clean country lines and inventive instrumental arrangements on many occasion. It's well worth watching him go to work." Terence Reis – Guitarist & Frontman (The Dire Straits Experience)

Learn to play Guitar or Ukulele with a patient, talented guitarist, in person or via Skype. (Advanced DBS checked).
Ukulele
Children can get their smaller hands around a Ukulele neck, older people like the weight and the ones in between can channel Andy Eastwood, The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain, George Formby, George Harrison or other favourite Uke players.
You choose what you want to learn. (It helps you practice when you like the song). Leon has taught a huge range of songs, from ‘Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows’ (yes really!) to ‘The Sound Of Silence’, Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’, Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’, AC/DC’s ‘Back In Black’ and Otis Redding’s ‘Sittin’ On The Dock Of The Bay’, to name just a few.
Guitar
Leon can play pretty much anything on guitar, so take your pick on what you want to learn. His repertoire ranges from J.S. Bach to Jimi Hendrix to Steve Vai with loads more in between. Every style and technique can be taught. You decide on a music piece together and learn as much of it as you wish to – while arming yourself with all the techniques to improve your playing as you go.
If you are already a competent guitarist, Leon will help you to further develop and improve your playing styles in much more depth and teach you some advanced playing styles and techniques.
