I’m Sean Clarke, a South London–based musician, composer and sound artist offering guitar lessons for players who want to sound like themselves.

My approach is rooted in creativity, tone and feel and not endless scale drills.
If you love alternative, rock, post-punk, ambient or shoegaze guitar, I can help you develop your own voice, refine your technique and understand how to shape emotion through sound.

What You’ll Learn

Whether you’re a beginner picking up the instrument for the first time or an intermediate player looking to expand your style, lessons are tailored to you.

Each session blends technique, tone exploration and creative exercises; helping you grow as both a player and a musician.

 

Areas of focus include:

  • Alternative & rock rhythm playing

  • Creative use of effects pedals

  • Tone shaping and amp setup

  • Songwriting and arrangement for guitar

  • Recording and layering in Logic Pro

  • Developing expressive phrasing and dynamics

  • Building confidence through composition

3-Month Creative Guitar Journey

I offer a structured 12-lesson programme designed to build your tone, confidence and creative instincts step-by-step.

1. Foundations of Feel: Groove, rhythm, tone and expression.

Learn to control dynamics and timing like your favourite alt-rock players.

2. Colour & Space: Chord colour and ambient texture.

Discover the art of delay, reverb and layering to create immersive soundscapes.

3. Expression & Composition: Writing, arranging and recording.

Write and record your own short piece using everything you’ve learned.

 

You can join at any level; we’ll start where you are.
