I enjoyed the guitar workshop. Mark was fantastic covering the very basic training through to advanced. covering all aspects of the guitar. He patiently teaches areas that I was stumbling with

Great environment for learning

Brett Greene, 55

With Mark's lessons, I have progressed more in 6 weeks than I had in the past 12 months trying to learn online myself. I now have a renewed passion to play every day.

I've been receiving lessons off Mark, great guy even better teacher! Really helped me improve my guitar skills, filling many gaps with the fundamentals of theoretical knowledge and has helped me create a map on my guitar. He is getting me to the next level!

I really enjoyed the Blues Workshops on Saturdays. I have been to two now and they are great!

I highly recommend Mark's Workshop. The session was enjoyable, interactive, and informative. I picked up some new skills and got to enjoy music with like-minded people. I will definitely be back.

Highly Recommended!! Had lots of "AHA" moments. Learnt about circle of 5ths, triads, solo in any key and how to find any note on the fretboard. Anyone wanting to better yourself at guitar, go to this guy.. legend.

Hi Mark, just wanted to say thanks for yesterday. Really sped the process up for me. I've been tinkering for ages and not really getting anywhere. I've been on the CAGED system for about 2 1/2 hours today & loving it! Can't wait to get more stuck into it. So thanks heaps. I can see myself getting somewhere now.

I attended one of Mark's Slide Guitar Workshops and found it really fun and helpful. Learnt some great slide licks and song bases that I have been playing around with at home a lot, Mark is very knowledgeable on all things blues guitar and has a very calm and patient teaching style. I would highly recommend this workshop for anybody looking to add slide guitar to their repitoire. Thanks again Mark!

I took a lot from and really enjoyed the guitar workshop. I’ve been playing for 10 years but feel like I’ve experienced a lot of plateaus in my progress along the way. This was just what I needed to get out of that rut! I learned a lot and having Mark there to fill in the blanks and answer all of my questions was just what I needed to finally get my head around soloing and improvising.
I’d highly recommend this course!

A Bit About Me

I’ve been teaching guitar since 2012 and love sharing my passion with students of all ages—from kids to retirees. Whether you want to strum at home or hit the stage, I’ll help you get there.

With over 20 years of playing experience, I’ve supported Aussie legends like The Screaming Jets, Grinspoon, Hoodoo Gurus, and Mental As Anything.

Lately, I’ve been deep into blues rock, performing with my band AlphaStomp at festivals like Blues On Broadbeach (2019–2025), Suwalki Blues Fest. (Poland) 2023, Sinner Rock Fest.(Germany) 2024 as well as many other European shows.

I believe learning should be accessible, so I offer affordable workshops. Want to know more or book a session? Reach out—I'm also a Blue Card holder and always happy to chat.
