StaveSlave was created by accomplished guitarist and music graduate James Ashford.

The goal was simple: to give a generation of new guitarists a doorway into the excitement of music.

By presenting inspiring material in a relaxed atmosphere, StaveSlave eases the stress of learning and engages students until they can't wait for their next practice session!

Whether you want to study academic grades, or just jam with your mates, flexible teaching on a one to one basis means you learn what you want to learn, in the way that you learn best.

Guitar tutor James runs his lessons with enthusiasm and drive, inspiring the same in his students.

At StaveSlave, there are two pathways:

Tailor-made teaching: If you know what you want, StaveSlave can tell you what you want to know. Whether learning songs, styles or techniques, our customised lessons will suit all your needs.

Grades and exams: Using the highly acclaimed Rockschool syllabus and grading system, StaveSlave guides the next generation of guitarists on the road to music mastery. Students learn everything they need to know through songs, not just scales.
