About Matthew
With a musical journey that spans a lifetime, I am excited to share my passion and expertise with you. From the age of 4, I embarked on a musical odyssey that began with the guitar, later exploring the intricacies of the banjo by the time I turned 7. An early highlight in my career came at 9 years old, when I released my inaugural record in collaboration with my father and took center stage on television alongside the legendary Slim Dusty.
The path of music led me to becoming a sought-after session guitarist in Sydney during my early 20s. The opportunity to record alongside esteemed artists such as Troy Cassar-daley, Grace Knight, and others allowed me to develop my craft and expand my horizons within the industry. By this point, I had firmly established my legitimacy and professionalism, earning the trust of fellow musicians and collaborators.
Venturing beyond national borders, I graced international stages with acclaimed Australian artists, including the renowned Gondwana Land. This global exposure enriched my musical sensibilities and broadened my perspective on the power of music to transcend boundaries.
Amidst the performances and collaborations, my love for music has thrived in all its forms. I've nurtured an unwavering affinity for diverse musical styles, continually evolving my skills as a producer. This fusion of experience, versatility, and a keen ear for production places me in a unique position to guide and inspire aspiring musicians like you.
As we embark on this musical journey together, rest assured that professionalism, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to your growth will be at the forefront of our shared pursuit. Let us explore the rhythms of possibility, ignite your creativity, and build a foundation that echoes the incredible melodies that have shaped my life.

Welcome to my guitar teaching approach, where music becomes a gateway to self-expression and creativity. My methodology revolves around building strong foundations, fostering musical passion, and guiding students to become confident guitar players. Here's how I structure my lessons:
1. Strong Foundations through Music Theory:
At the heart of every musician's journey lies a solid understanding of music theory. I kick off by introducing fundamental concepts like notes, scales, and rhythm. By laying this theoretical groundwork, my students gain insight into the structure and language of music.
2. Chords and Technique Mastery:
Starting from day one, my students dive into the world of chords. By learning essential open chords such as C, G, and D, they quickly experience the joy of strumming along to their favorite songs. Technique is paramount, and I focus on proper finger placement, hand posture, and efficient chord transitions to ensure a strong musical foundation.
3. Personalized Practice Regimens:
Every student is unique, with distinct learning styles and goals. I tailor practice routines to match their preferences while keeping them engaged. Through chord transition exercises, finger drills, and strumming pattern variations, I help students progress at a pace that's comfortable yet challenging.
4. Unlocking the Power of Songs:
Playing familiar songs fuels inspiration and motivates growth. I incorporate easy-to-learn songs that align with the chords and techniques the student has acquired. This bridges theory and practice, making learning an enjoyable and relatable experience.
5. Building Aural Skills:
Developing an ear for music is essential. I introduce ear training exercises to help students recognize melodies, intervals, and chord progressions by ear. This skill not only enhances their playing but also cultivates a deeper connection to the music they create.
6. Advancing Beyond Basics:
As students gain confidence, we venture into more intricate chord structures, including barre chords and diverse strumming techniques. By continuously challenging them, I ensure a steady progression that stretches their musical boundaries.
7. Encouraging Creativity and Exploration:
Beyond technique and theory, I encourage students to explore their creativity. I guide them in composing simple melodies, experimenting with chord progressions, and even improvising solos. This fosters a sense of ownership over their musical journey.
8. Individualized Feedback and Growth:
Every milestone deserves recognition. During lessons, I provide constructive feedback, acknowledging their achievements and pinpointing areas for improvement. This feedback loop fuels their motivation and helps them refine their skills effectively.
9. A Lifelong Musical Companion:
My ultimate goal is not just to teach guitar but to instill a lifelong love for music. By nurturing a solid foundation, providing a nurturing environment, and adapting to individual needs, I empower my students to continue their musical journey long after our lessons conclude.
Whether my students aspire to play in bands, perform on stage, or simply strum around the campfire, my approach ensures they embark on their musical adventure with confidence, skill, and a passion that knows no bounds.
