I am Dave Easto - a full-time guitar professional guitar teacher in South Bristol. I offer electric guitar, acoustic guitar and electric bass guitar lessons from a dedicated teaching room at my home in Southville. Since 1994 I have taught over 1,000 pupils. I offer guitar tuition to suit all ages and abilities, both in 1 to 1 and small group sessions.
Most people come to me as beginners, but I am happy to offer lessons for more advanced pupils as well. I teach in a variety of popular styles, but as far as possible and depending on ability, I will teach a pupil the music that they want to learn - usually this is what they know and like. More information including ideas of music to widen your repertoire and teaching books that I recommend can be found on the Types of Music Taught page.

Services
If you do not already have a guitar, you may want to use one of my guitars in your first lesson, to see which is most suitable - steel string acoustic, nylon string classical acoustic or electric guitar. However on an ongoing basis, you do need to have your own guitar on which to practice outside of lessons.
Guitar Lesson DurationThe standard length of a guitar lesson is 30 minutes, for pupils aged 10 years and over. Pupils under 10 years often start with a 20 minute lesson, extending this to 30 minutes, when age and concentration span allows it. Most pupils start and continue with weekly lessons of either 20 or 30 minutes.
