Join me here on the website for weekly live sessions where we can work directly on your playing & give the feedback needed for you to move forward and get inspired!
Every week we cover topics such as;
How to make the most of your practice time
Songs and exercises at your level and based on your music taste
How you can stay motivated and maximise your progress
You can also request a tutorial for a song YOU want to learn and Andy will teach it during the session live! Each live stream is automatically available as a replay so you can catch up anytime and never miss a beat!
