Guitar lessons Dublin
One-to-one guitar lessons with a Dublin guitar teacher, for beginner and intermediate players. Built around technique, creativity, confidence — and the music you actually want to play.
Your guitar teacher in Dublin
I'm Ben Crosbie. I've played guitar for over 14 years, hold a BA in Commercial Modern Music from BIMM Dublin, and work as a session guitarist, producer and composer under the name Crosbit with 4M+ collective streams across collaborations.
Because I'm still playing on records, lessons stay practical: the technique, timing and ear you need to play with other people, not just exercises on a page.
What a lesson looks like
- A warm-up that targets whatever's currently holding your playing back
- Chords, riffs or lead work from a song you chose
- Rhythm and timing practice against a metronome or the record
- Theory only where it makes the playing easier
- A short, specific practice plan for the week
Areas I cover
In-person lessons run across South Dublin, including Dundrum, Stillorgan, Sandyford, Leopardstown and Blackrock. Everywhere else, there are online guitar lessons.
