Hi. I did some searching and can’t seem to find a central repository of guitar teachers, but plenty of ad-hoc requests on this and the technique forum. So here’s mine:
I’m looking for a theory and guitar technique teacher for myself in SE London. I’m in Catford and the local area is Lewisham, Forest Hill, Sydenham, Honor Oak, and even Crofton Park, Brockley or Crystal Palace. Travel to mine is preferred.
I’m 43, moderately skilled player but really just getting back into serious playing since uni, and it shows. I’d like to get back to basics. Scales, chords, timing, fretboard knowledge, etc. throw in some old school rock covers and I’ll be a happy camper.
Any and all help and references are appreciated.
Thanks
Peter

I'm also in SE6 :-)
shame Eric Lindsay shut down.
What every player wants/needs/expects from a teacher is different, so I don't want to oversell things too much, but the ideas he's shown me in 6 months have got me further than any other teacher. He's a conscientious teacher, send voice memos between lessons to remind you what was spoken about, and is super friendly and laid back to boot.
He definitely has a focus on being a rounded musician with technique and theory fundamentals. He's not really a 'hang out and jam' kind of a teacher - it's more about discussing and exploring concepts to take away and work on. I've found a little bit of trust in his approach goes a long way.
Couple of caveats: no sure he does home visits, and I'm learning jazz, which I think is his main area - though he has pretty broad taste so I reckon he'd also help you on the classic rock front.
Hope that helps!
In stupid boring no music scene BR6 now

Seems like there's lots of us in the Catford/Bromley/Lewisham area. Dare I suggest a meet up?
