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.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that Oasis are about to take Manchester by STORM! And me and my students are totally here for it! 🎸🎶Aside from being totally cool, Oasis are actually one of the best bands for learning guitar! ‘Live Forever’ is a great starter song for chords/strumming. It only has a few chords and is a great tempo to learn. ‘Half the world away’ is perfect for developing your chords and strumming further. It has lots of the most common chord changes you'll see in rock and pop songs and a slightly different "shuffle" rhythmic feel to ‘Live Forever’.The iconic sound of ‘Wonderwall’ is a very common request, but this track can be a lot more challenging than you'd expect!! This is due to the rhythm of the chord changes. ‘The importance of being idle’ is quite different to most Oasis songs with its "Kinks style" feel. It gives students a good opportunity to practice some of the most common chord changes. For a slightly different challenge, there’s ‘Supersonic’ - who doesn’t love this number?! The intro riff is great for practicing picking across the strings and the main riffs make good use of power chords, which you'll see a lot in rock songs so great to learn.And then there’s the legend that is Noel Gallagher! He can teach us a lot when learning lead guitar. The guitar solos in ‘Supersonic’, ‘Live forever’, ‘Don't look back in anger’, ‘The importance of being idle’ and more can be good achievable challenges if you're new to lead guitar.They also prove valuable as stepping stones if your final goal is slightly more technical stuff like - ‘Hotel California’, ‘Stairway to heaven’, ‘Pink Floyd’, Hendrix etc! As you can tell, my tuition library is full to the brim of Oasis tracks ready for you to learn how to play like the Gallaghers! 🎸And if you’re going to one of the gigs at Heaton Park, have the most awesome time! #cheshireguitarschool #oasis #OasisLive25 #heatonpark #Manchester #manchestermusic #manchestermusicscene #oasisguitar #liamgallagher #noelgallagher ...
