Guitar Mastery
Learn to play classical, acoustic and tenor guitar plus ukulele with concert guitarist and composer Richard Durrant
Some online guitar teachers would have you believe you can go from novice to virtuoso within a few videos and strums. This approach can lead to disappointment and self-doubt. Not something you want when you have a beautiful instrument that begs to be played.

Keep studying, keep practising and enjoy your musical journey.
Develop your talent, learn with structure and become the musician you wish to be with unlimited access to all courses on the Richard Durrant Academy.
