About Ben
I’m a professional guitarist, co-songwriter, and music educator with over 15 years’ experience. I play lead guitar in the band Ten Fé, who have released three albums and toured internationally, including performances at Glastonbury, Hyde Park (supporting Blur), and venues such as The Troubadour (LA) and Bowery Ballroom (NYC).
I studied jazz guitar at the Royal Academy of Music, where I also earned a Jazz Teaching Diploma, and completed a Master’s in Popular Music at Goldsmiths. My background in jazz strongly informs how I approach harmony, improvisation, and musicianship.

My lessons focus on helping guitarists understand music more deeply and feel more confident on the instrument — whether you’re exploring jazz, playing in bands, or returning to the guitar with new goals.
We’ll work on:
Harmony and chords – understanding progressions, voicings, and movement in a practical, musical way
Improvisation and phrasing – developing the ability to respond musically rather than relying on patterns
Rhythm, time, and feel – learning to place notes confidently and play in time with music
Technique – developed through real musical situations rather than abstract drills
Songs, parts, and arranging – understanding how guitar functions within bands and recordings
Theory is introduced where it’s useful, but the emphasis is always on applying ideas to real music — songs, progressions, and styles you enjoy.
Alongside the technical work, I also help students play with less tension and more awareness, encouraging a relaxed, musical approach to the instrument.
I work with beginners and intermediate players, shaping lessons around your interests while building strong foundations for long-term growth.
If you’re interested in jazz, harmony, improvisation, or becoming a more confident and musical guitarist, I’d be very happy to hear from you.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! Ben is a brilliant guitar tutor who’s also a successful musician.
You wouldn't have guessed it because he’s humble, patient, and non-judgemental. The lessons are tailored to suit my needs and also fun and engaging. I have recently picked the guitar after a long break from my music career and already made massive progress!- Our first lesson went great. Hadar is an intuitive, and natural musician, and we will work to strengthen by working on harmony, and different guitar styles.See the response Ben :

Ben tutored my 12 yr son for last year and I found him listening very good and giving good advise. He would encourage my son to always practice at home and would show him how the song is played. I believe Ben helped my son continue to play guitar when he lost his first teache whom he been with for 3 yrs. I would not hesitate to have Ben as guitar tutor for my son. Thank you Ben!!
For a professional tutor, Ben's musical experience is unparalleled. Not only is he educated at the highest level --having attended the Royal Academy he is part of a select few musicians worldwide to reach this technical level -- he has also achieved a great deal professionally: he's played every sought after venue a musician would want to: Hyde Park, the main stage at Glastonbury, Abbey Road etc. Then there's the albums he's released. Evidently, as a result, he's very used to adapting to a variety of different musical contexts; in the few times I've had lessons from Ben, he's offered exactly what I need in that moment, and given me tools to experiment with that have occupied me for months after. He is patient, non-judgemental and fundamentally seems to enjoy nurturing your musical development. I would presume this comes from his general love of music. His brain is a mine for exceptional songs and artists, too, which is another wonderful aspect of his lessons.
Ben is so very gifted at music. It translates into his teaching. He is reliable and kind. I strongly recommend him
Ben is an accomplished guitarist and pianist, who has had a successful musical career. He is a thoughtful and reliable person whose life has revolved around writing and teaching music. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Ben as a superprof for enjoyable and productive lessons.
