I am a Bristol-based guitar teacher with 15 years experience of working with children and adults to improve their playing. I teach everyone from absolute beginners to advanced students of all ages. Lessons are tailored to everyone’s ability and musical interest.
I have a BA Hons in Actor Musicianship from Rose Bruford College and have taught at Blackheath Conservatoire, Trinity Laban and DBS Music (Bristol). As a composer and songwriter I write music for theatre, TV and film. My main band Apple of My Eye has been played on BBC Radio 2, Radio 3, 6 Music and has headlined a number of festivals around the UK. I am on half of the musical duo RYDE.
Here you will find a series of guitar tutorials for all ages and abilities. I set up this channel for anyone who might be self isolating and wanted to brush up on their guitar skills. I also give private lessons online so please get in touch if you'd like a lesson. I have an enhanced DBS check.

Fantastic brilliant simple clear Great sounding guitar would like to know more about that guitar nice sounding dry wood I have never known how to play that exactly like John I’ve listened to that song since I was fifteen Thank you
Thanks so much. I have watch john martyn play this many times and never really got the vibe because i can't play like him. Thhe way you play it is simple and has all the good stuff . So really thanks.
YOU FOUND YOU CALLIN MAN! You really know how to connect to people - very genuine and very well done with humming the cords BRILLIANT way to teach the dummies like I can be!! Just brilliant. I look forward to your other videos. luv it!
Most excellent sir.....just checking in to make sure i have been playing it correctly all these years ......i have been! This was a great straight forward instructional video ......i subscribed to your channel
Nice work Arran, love the pull offs on the D chord chiming arpeggio, sounds cracking and you voice suits that song really well. Always thought John always sounded off his head when playing this tune, haha. One little point, did he use dropped D on the E string to use as a drone note ..... anyway brilliantly executed..... cheers
Thanks for this! Yeah the story goes that they'd recorded the whole album and the version of this had drums and full band and wasn't quite sitting well. John went back down into the studio at 3am (definitely wasted) and laid down this masterpiece in one take. I made this video during lockdown for people who might want to learn guitar and also if they might want to sing over it. The actual version John plays is much more complicated and almost impossible to sing over as voice and rhythm are seemingly completely independent. I believe all his strings are heavily dropped with the low E down to a D (but then everything lower still if that makes sense) Then he plays with a capo on three or four. I'm planning on doing some more videos soon so will try and include some for higher levels!
Brilliant, best version I've found on line, my granddaughter is going to be very happy once I've got some fluency at it, many thanks to you Sir for taking the time to put this up and binging happiness through music.
