Over James

Hi, I’m James, a 28-year old electric guitarist and composer based in Den Haag.
I teach the electric guitar in combination with music theory, composition / songwriting and use of technology in performance (including effects pedals and the use of software such as Ableton Live).
I teach in English and in Greek.
I also teach acoustic guitar and bass guitar and beginner keyboard skills alongside the aforementioned topics, or give lessons exclusively on theory / composition / use of technology in music without the guitar.

I grew up in Greece to a Greek father and Scottish mother, and I have lived in the UK and the U.S.A.
I have been living in Holland for the last 4 years.
I have moved between several different countries and explored many different types of music-making.
This allows me to bring a wide range of experiences to the lessons, outside of just teaching a single topic from a single perspective.

As today’s world is one where culture and music are made up of many influences from many different places, I find this to be the most healthy approach to teaching, and one which my most inspiring teachers always brought to me as a student
!
I offer lessons in all styles, to all age groups, and for any experience level (ranging from students who have never touched a guitar before, up to advanced players who are looking for new challenges). Lessons are catered to the taste, interest and experience levels of each individual student.

I teach face to face and / or online – with students that I usually meet in person we move the lessons online when Covid numbers become problematic and require more social distancing.

Before I started my lessons with James over a year ago, I had the basic knowledge of how scales worked and other basic guitar theory. I wanted to be able to improvise on top of blues backing tracks. Even though I knew the minor pentatonic, I found myself simply going up and down the scales without being able to produce the phrases and licks I wanted. Mere theory wasn't going to help me here. James' lessons have helped me to understand how my favourite artists approach their solos through a more in depth understanding of the way all the different notes and chords interact with each other in order to actually make music myself. Now I don't simply memorize and replay existing riffs, I make my own. If, like me, you felt stuck in your development as a guitar player, then I believe James will be able to get you back on track depending on what your own goals are. I would highly recommend James to anyone who wants to take his guitar playing to the next level!

Really positive about first lesson. Structured teaching approach, and tailored to what the student wants to learn.

James is an excellent teacher and really caters his lessons to what you want to learn. I've been playing guitar for a number of years now but never had lessons, and the theory I'm learning from James makes it feel like picking up the instrument for the first time - in a good way! Theory exercises are presented in a musical way which makes them a lot of fun and James is an inspiring musician in his own right. Wish I would have signed up for lessons with James earlier! 10/10.
