"Music is a necessity. After food, air, water, and warmth, music is the next necessity of life"
Keith Richards
“I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it”
"Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music."
Jimi Hendrix
"...if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually, you’ll get to where you want to be"
Steve Vai
Eddie Van Halen
Jimmy Page
Unlock your inner rock star!
"Learning to play the Guitar and guitar lessons themselves should be fun, engaging and something that you are really excited to do. All too often guitar students learning to play turn up demotivated from previous guitar lessons as all they are learning are scales and music theory. Eddie Van Halen didn't start playing the guitar by learning music theory - he cranked up his guitar and amp and started making noise! I have been teaching Guitar Lessons in Milton Keynes for a long time and take pride in the fact that the most common word to pop up from our guitar students is 'fun'!

Mark, Principle Guitar Tutor
Whether you want to own the stage at a Festival or just lay down some chords in the privacy of your own home, having guitar lessons or a guitar course at Milton Keynes Guitar School can help you become the Guitarist you want to be. Learning and playing the Guitar or having guitar lessons shouldn't be a chore or something you dread, guitar tuition should be fun and something you want to rush home from School or work to do - in short, if you want to learn the guitar, you have come to the right place!
​
At MK Guitar School, we know that you want to rock out as soon as you possibly can and that is why our practical teaching methods work so well. Whether you want to play Acoustic Folk, Rock, Metal, Jazz or anything in between, we will show you the fastest way to make the Guitar sound the way you want it to. Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone that has been playing for a few years but wants to improve, we will design a lesson plan that motivates, inspires and gets you where you want to be!
Milton Keynes guitar lessons
Whether you're brand new to the guitar or already creating your own music at an advanced level, our custom built guitar studio is the perfect place to learn and progress and, because our guitar lessons are tailored for each client, we make sure you always get the best results from your time with us. Using both printed materials that you can take away and use to create your own 'Learning Journey' and an online resource where you can review what we have covered in previous lessons, we will make sure that what we show you actually 'sticks'!
Depending on what you want to achieve during your time with us, we might look at the following elements during your first guitar lessons (This list is of course just a tiny fraction of what makes up our lessons!)
The anatomy of a Guitar
How to choose the best guitar for the music you want to play
The chords you need to know to play any song
How to spot what key a song is played in
How to tune a guitar
Basic chords to get you going
How to play along with any song you hear
Start to play riffs and solo breaks
How to record your sound and play along with your own backing track
Pitfalls of learning to play
What bad habits to avoid!
​
As we progress, you will learn how to emulate the people that inspired you to play in the first place and go further into music theory to unlock the secrets of the fretboard! Advanced players will enjoy discovering new modes, 1000's of incredible new chords and sounds that you just don't find on your own or surfing through YouTube lessons!
Guitar masterclasses
When you are learning the Guitar or focusing on a particular area of guitar playing, we know that sometimes 30 minutes, or even an hour, just isn't long enough. That is why we have introduced the 'MK Guitar School Guitar Masterclasses'.
Our Guitar Masterclasses are designed to give you enough space to achieve your goals without the pressures of running out of time. Designed and created around your specific requirements, these sessions are relaxed one to one experience, held in our studio in Milton Keynes, that will accelerate your learning and leave you feeling motivated and ready to rock!
​
How does a Masterclass work?
​
After an informal chat to allow us to discover what your aims our, we will create a tailored learning programme for you based on what you want to achieve. Once created, we will let you know and you can book the Masterclass online for a time and date that suits you. On arrival, we relax with a tea or coffee and set out the plan for the session, breaking down the different elements we are going to look at.
​
The atmosphere and the session will be relaxed and light hearted, with regular breaks to regroup and review. We will utilise all the space we have here, even moving outside if we need a change of scenery (or some inspiration!) to make sure you are comfortable, staying focused and having fun!
​
Masterclasses run on a variety of topics, including:
​
- Rhythm Guitar
- Lead Guitar
- Absolute beginners
- Guitar Maintenance
​

Meet your new guitar teacher!
Mark is our Principle Tutor here at MKGS. He is 40 something (!) years old and lives in Milton Keynes He has been playing the Guitar for around 30 years and is self taught in all styles from Folk to Hard Metal. With a natural ear for music, Mark was able to very quickly start playing along with his rock influences at the time and he believes that this is what allowed him to stick with the Guitar for so long.
​
"When my parents bought me my first Guitar all those years ago, I remember them also giving me this book to learn from that talked about music theory and the importance of scales; it was supposed to be a beginners guitar course. At the time, I remember thinking that all I really wanted to do was play the intro to Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns and Roses! So, I put the books down, put the Album in the CD Player and just sat and worked it out on the fretboard. Don't get me wrong, it took a long time and a lot of frustration but I got there, and from that moment onwards i was hooked'
​
Mark believes that the way to learn is to play - only after the guitar becomes a fun part of your life and something that you really enjoy doing, will you be inspired to do the less interesting bits like learning how to put a string back on and retune it!
Mark runs MK Guitar School full time and has been described as friendly, fun, motivational and easy going. He has been in many bands over the years as both a Guitarist and lead vocalist and has had his music used for main stream advertising, television and film. As well as being an accomplished guitarist, Mark also plays the Piano and drums, both of which, again, he is self taught.
​
He will teach you not only the technical side of the guitar and being a guitarist, but also the practical side and it is the latter of these that will having you jamming along to your favourite CDs and writing your own music in no time!
You can hear Mark on Spotify!
Guitar hire service for beginners
MK Guitar School are pleased to offer all of our students the chance to rent an instrument from just £6 per week!
​
Why rent? Maybe you are brand new to learning and want to try some lessons before committing to buy your own instrument, maybe you want to try different styles of guitar before you decide what to buy or maybe you want to learn on something awesome - either way, we have a range of guitars that we can supply you with to help you along your way!
​
All rental packages include a professionally set up, great quality acoustic or electric guitar. You get to take the guitar home after every lesson so you'll always have something to practise on and if you decide to buy it, the rental you have already paid can be used to offset the cost of making it your own!
​
​
Guitar set-up and repair service
Keeping a guitar in tip-top condition is vital to make sure you get the best from it. Whether its something simple like a change of strings, setting the intonation or a strip down and clean or something more complex like truss rod adjustments, pickup changes or body repairs; Not giving your trusty 6 string the care it deserves is asking for trouble!
​
Luckily, at MK Guitar School we know all about keeping your instrument in shape and if you don't feel like coming to one of our Guitar Maintenance Masterclasses, we can do it all for you!
​
- String Changes
- Intonation adjustments
- Light body repairs
- Deep cleans
- Hardware changes (pickups, bridges etc)
- Wood care
- Modifications
​
With prices from just £25, there is now no reason that your guitar shouldn't look and sound like it did on the day you bought it (though, to be fair, once we have worked on it it will probably sound better!)
