About Our Guitar Program

The London Guitar Institute offers amazing guitar programs for adults who want to learn how to play for their own pleasure. Classes take place weekly at our location near Liverpool street station in a stunning environment. The guitar department is managed by Stefan Joubert, one of Britian's most sought-after guitarists.

Absolute beginners to advanced guitarists are accepted at the guitar studio. Courses run on a monthly basis with an initial study commitment of three months.

What can you expect

• Excellent guitar tuition on a weekly basis
• Motivation and inspiration to help you learn
• A formidable learning environment
• Periodic student evenings (where you can meet others or join our student "musical sessions")
• Impeccable service

How are the classes structured?

All the lessons are structured according to a lesson plan that is specifically designed and tailored for you by your teacher. In our Silver and Gold Programs we follow with a set structure. In our Ultimate Access Program, our head guitar teacher will plan a bespoke guitar program tailored to your individual guitar needs, goals and wishes.

How long are the courses?

The courses run on an indefinite basis until a written notice has been given by either party not less then one calendar month prior to the next billing date. There is an initial starting committment of three months. Please do note that lessons are tailored to you on an individual basis and we highly recommend a study period of at least 6 months to a year to get satisfactory results from your learning. Many of our students have been with us for years and the lessons are designed to continue on a month to month basis.

Once-Off Registration Fee

We require a once-off registration fee of £125 to join the one-to-one guitar courses.

We require a once-off registration fee of £95 to join the group guitar courses.

The registration fee covers the cost of administrative duties around your course, arrangement of concerts, events and other (where applicable) special bonus material/articles/lessons. It also gives you the privilege to study with Stéfan Joubert in person (in group and solo format) where you can pick his brains and discover the very nature of the guitar.

We Specialise in Teaching Guitar in Jazz, Blues/Rock/Metal, Acoustic/Pop/Folk, Traditional Classical and Spanish Guitar

Online Guitar Program - No Registration Fee Required

Learn guitar DIRECTLY from Stefan Joubert via the internet

Learning Options:

I have a few online guitar learning options available to you. You can either learn with me via correspondence or Skype (REALLY limited availability here though...) a suitable place for you. Skype lessons take place at a mutual convenient time for us both.

Content of the online correspondence lessons

Long-distance guitar learning

The online correspondence course is specifically designed to help you master the guitar in all of its facets

In each and every lesson you will receive a personal lesson based on your current level, goals and experience.

A typical lesson is much larger than a standard in person one-to-one guitar lesson. The value of each lesson is huge as it will make a lasting difference to your guitar playing.

If you really follow the lessons and really practice what I teach, your playing will most certainly increase dramatically – in fact it will increase exponentially above what you may think!

Here are a list of some of the subjects we take a look at in the lessons

• Harmony
• Theory
• Technique - left-hand and right-hand technique
• The nature of the guitar
• How to improvise
• Speed technique building
• Chord knowledge - forming your own chords
• Scale knowledge - understanding how the scales relate on the fretboard
• Arpeggio knowledge
• Understanding the five positions of the guitar
• Your psychology and how it relates to guitar playing
• Repertoire
• Guitar licks - how to make them and how to use them
• Songwriting

Guitar coaching and mentorship

I've already made a massive, lasting change in hundreds of guitarists around the world. Now it's time for you to experience that change and finally start playing the way you've always wanted to play!

My goal with you is to turn you into the guitarist that you deserve to be! My approach to teaching the guitar and the techniques that I use is of such a standard that I can completely transform your entire guitar playing level within a short period of time.

During your lessons with me I will be your guitar coach, mentor and friend, and although you will learn from a distance, I will closely follow your progress and make absolutely sure you're developing in the right direction.

In addition to your weekly lessons, I would recommend that you join some of my workshops, intense in-person training and online Skype lesson from time to time.

It's my passion and mission to turn you into the guitarist you've dreamed to be!
