Why choose us

Hi I’m Nick Studholme and welcome to the Cheshire Guitar School website. I am a guitar tutor based in Winsford, Cheshire.

I teach all styles of electric and acoustic guitar. I also teach bass. All lessons are customised for your specific needs and take place in a relaxed, friendly environment.

01. Passion

I love my role as a guitar tutor and I’m determined to help you get the best results from your practice. I have played in a wide variety of bands over the years, thus I have extensive gigging and studio recording experience.

02. Professionalism

I have been teaching for over 25 years throughout many schools, in partnership with the organisation Music for Life, the private primary school – The Firs and in the private music school – Tafelmusik. I am CRB/DBS checked.

03. Patience

I help beginning and frustrated guitarists achieve their goals and make fast progress. My aim is to keep frustration to a minimum and make the process as enjoyable as possible. Happy guitarists play the guitar more, so improvement tends to be faster.

Cheshire Guitar School
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️““I've been playing guitar (self taught) for over 40 years, and since picking it up again, I wanted to improve. l tried books and YouTube tutorials, but I found them to be either too simple or too complex. Then I came across Cheshire Guitar School. WOW! After a chat with Nick, he tailored lessons at the right level for me, covering the points where I want to improve, and also teaching things I didn't know; both theory and technique.His teaching style is very relaxed, and very informative. He really knows his stuff, and knows how to impart that knowledge to his students. I've learnt more about the guitar in a couple of months with Nick than in the previous 40 years! If you want to learn guitar, Cheshire Guitar School is the place to go!”Thank you Stephen it’s awesome to hear how much you’re loving your lessons, and a pleasure to teach you 🎸#cheshireguitarschool #guitarlessons🎸 #guitarlessons #guitarlessonsincheshire #learntoplayguitar #onlineguitarlessons #guitartuition ...
