About Sydney-James
I am 20 years old, and currently a student at Stellenbosch University. I am originally South African, but I spent the last 9 years of my life in Mozambique, where I had my first experience with guitar. I started playing the guitar in 2019, and have found a deep passion for the instrument. I took lessons for the first year of my playing, where I was taught the basic skills, and learned my way around the instrument. Since then, I have mainly been self-taught, using the internet to learn the concepts I incorporate into my playing. I played in a band in high school, and we did performances at school events. In this band I was the lead guitar player, the majority of what we played was cover of songs in the rock genre. I have diversified my playing since then, where now I am proficient in playing blues, and acoustic guitar.

In my lessons, I prioritise teaching students the basic and fundamental skills which underlie the music they want to learn, and I help students learn songs they like. I believe learning basic chord shapes and scales will not only give students the dexterity and skill needed to play songs, but also give them a good foundational understanding of the instrument, which will allow them to experiment with creating their own unique style of playing. I am a native English speaker, and also an advanced Portuguese speaker. My teaching methodology is aimed to get new guitar players to get comfortable, and familiarize themselves with the instrument. I aim for students to get acquainted enough so practice does not feel frustrating, and for them to have enough proficiency to feel comfortable playing without any help.

Deadly! Syney-James is always well prepared and ensures that progress is being made from one lesson to the next. He lets the student follow his own pace without any pressure. This in itself is highly motivational.
- Mike is kind and shows a penchant for learning the instrument. He is a fast learner who takes advice and instruction well to improve his playing.Sydney-James's response :
