Guitar Lessons
START PLAYING. RIGHT FROM THE START.
Learning guitar shouldn't mean spending months practising exercises before you get to enjoy making music.
My lessons are designed to get beginners playing along with real songs as quickly as possible. Using specially prepared backing tracks and slowed-down versions of songs, students can start playing along with music from as early as their first lesson, at a speed that matches their ability.
As your playing develops, so does the music. Songs become faster and more challenging while new chords, riffs, techniques, rhythm and theory are introduced along the way.
The result is a structured way to learn guitar that feels like playing music, not waiting to be good enough to play music.
BEEN PLAYING FOR A WHILE, BUT FEELING STUCK?
Maybe you've been playing for years but never properly learnt the theory behind what you play. Maybe you know your scales, but your improvisation keeps falling into the same patterns. Or perhaps you've taken lessons before, but felt there was no clear path forward.
My lessons follow a carefully developed curriculum designed to identify and fill the gaps in your playing, while still adapting to your individual goals and musical tastes.
We can work on theory, technique, improvisation, composition and developing your own sound, with each new skill connected back to the music you actually want to play.
There is a plan, but it isn't one-size-fits-all.
PUT IT ALL INTO PRACTICE
Each year, students choose a favourite song and spend around ten weeks working towards mastering and performing it for the camera.
The project gives students a goal to work towards, encourages them to push their playing further, and teaches an important lesson that every musician eventually discovers: a great performance takes rehearsal.
For students who aren't comfortable performing in front of an audience, it's also a great introduction to performance. They can play in a familiar environment, do multiple takes, and build confidence without the pressure of a crowd.
The finished performance is professionally filmed and produced, at no additional cost.

Production Lessons
TAKE YOUR MUSIC BEYOND THE GUITAR.
For students who want to create their own music, Production Lessons explore the complete creative process, from the first idea through to a finished recording and video.
Lessons can stand alone or complement guitar tuition, and are tailored around your interests and the projects you want to create.
SONGWRITING & ARRANGEMENT
Develop your ideas into complete songs, explore structure and instrumentation, and learn how to turn the music in your head into an arrangement that works.
MUSIC PRODUCTION
Learn how to build a production from the ground up, making creative decisions about instrumentation, arrangement, sound and performance.
RECORDING, MIXING & MASTERING
Learn practical sound engineering, including recording techniques, microphones, signal flow, editing, processing, mixing and preparing a finished track.
VIDEO PRODUCTION
Take the project through to picture, covering pre-production, lighting, directing, shooting and editing.
MODERN TOOLS. REAL SKILLS.
Explore current production technology and AI-assisted workflows, while developing the musicianship, creativity and critical listening needed to use them well.
LEARN FROM PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIONS.
Students have access to a wealth of real-world production material drawn from my ongoing professional work. This provides opportunities to explore actual sessions, recordings and productions, and see how creative and technical decisions are made in practice.
Rather than only working with tutorial files and exercises, you can learn from real projects and then apply those skills to your own work.
LEARN BY MAKING SOMETHING REAL.
Production is best learnt by actually producing. Rather than learning techniques in isolation, students choose their own projects and develop them through the complete creative process.
Depending on your goals, that might mean writing and arranging an original song, recording and mixing a finished production, or taking a project all the way through to a completed music video.
You don't just learn how it's done. You finish with something you've made.
BUILD THE MODERN MUSICIAN'S TOOLKIT.
Today's musicians often do far more than perform. They write, record, produce and create the content that brings their music to an audience.
Production Lessons are designed to build that wider creative toolkit, giving students the skills to take an idea from the instrument to a finished recording, and from the recording to the screen.

About Keshet
I've been teaching guitar and music production since 2009, working with hundreds of private students, group classes and schools across multiple countries.
But teaching is only one part of what I do. I'm an active guitarist, composer, music producer, sound engineer and video producer, with a Diploma in Sound Design and Production and years of experience creating professional music and video projects.
That real-world experience feeds directly into my lessons. Students aren't just learning guitar or production techniques in isolation. They're learning how music actually comes together, from playing and theory through to songwriting, arrangement, recording, production and performance.
My goal isn't to create musicians who all play the same way. It's to give each student a strong foundation, then help them develop their own musical identity.
Our son is now gigging and writing his own music...
“Kesh was our son's first guitar teacher and has been mentoring him for just over 2 years now. Lessons are structured and include working on songs, guitar and music theory and technique development.
Our son is now gigging and writing his own really interesting music and does so with so much confidence from the theoretical and practical background Kesh has provided.
Moreso, Kesh has become more of a friend and mentor and Mitch has always really enjoyed their time together.”
