Guitar lessons Blackrock
Guitar lessons in Blackrock, Co. Dublin — one to one, built around the music you want to play.
A guitar teacher local to Blackrock
Blackrock students come from along the coast road and up through Stillorgan. Lessons are the same either way: technique, creativity and confidence, using real songs rather than exercises for their own sake.
I'm Ben Crosbie — 14+ years playing, a BA in Commercial Modern Music from BIMM Dublin, and a working session guitarist and producer with 4M+ collective streams. That means the lessons come from playing, recording and performing, not just from a book.
What lessons cover
- Open chords, barre chords and clean chord changes
- Rhythm, strumming and playing in time with a metronome or a record
- Lead playing, scales and the theory you actually use
- Songs you choose — we work backwards from the music you want to play
- Recording and production basics if you want to take your playing further
Prefer to learn from home?
Blackrock students who can't make it in person take the same lessons over video call. See online guitar lessons , or read about music production lessons in Dublin.
