Hello! I'm Stephen, a professional guitarist and singer-songwriter based in Suffolk, UK. I've toured the world with Passenger and Lou Rhodes, opened for legends like Mark Knopfler and Bonnie Raitt, and shared stages with many more. To date, I've recorded and released 7 albums, produced records for indie-folk artists, and written music for sync, film, and TV. My main focus in life is connecting my spirit with the acoustic guitar. I love to fingerpick and I love to strum. With 30 years of professional, world-proven experience, I can help you take your playing to the next level—whether you just want to master the classics or unearth your own creative voice. We'll dive into practical techniques: smooth fingerpicking patterns, dynamic strumming rhythms, chord voicings, and ways to make the guitar feel like an extension of yourself. No heavy theory required—just real playing, creativity, and joy. Let's get to it!
