Welcome to SkeetGuitar.
Most guitar instruction is focused on 'more'—more songs, more speed, more noise. But if you’ve hit a plateau, 'more' isn't the answer.
Here, we take The Steady Path.
I help beginners and returning players move past frustration by focusing on the diagnostics of play. We treat songs as vehicles for transferable skills, focusing on the mechanics of ease so that the music can finally take care of itself.
If you are looking for a grounded, low-pressure environment to build a real foundation, you’ve found it.
Join the Community: For those who want to dive deeper into these mechanics between my weekly lessons, I host The Steady Practice Club—a private membership designed to turn 'messy' practice into consistent, musical progress.

One small, clean step at a time.

I’ve just updated the Rhiannon thumb drill inside the Steady Practice Club — it now includes on-screen tabs for clarity.
If you’re already a member, you can view the updated version there.
If not, that’s where I share early access lessons and deeper technique work.

Weekend homework (2 minutes):
Pick ONE change (A to D, G to C, C to G, whatever you like).
Do Hold → Pump → Hover for each chord… then change in silence.
Don’t chase speed. Chase a calmer landing.

Going live at 8pm UK tonight.
We’re breaking down one of my most popular fingerstyle drills — but this time we’re going deeper into digit independence and control.
If your picking feels slightly tense or uneven, this will help.

What’s the real problem with your chord changes?

Today’s lesson is for anyone whose chord changes feel clumsy or unreliable.
It’s not strength. It’s not “bad fingers”.
It’s when you’re preparing the chord.
We’re doing a calm reset with one method: Hold → Pump → Hover.
Which chord change catches you out most right now?

Quick check-in: which one are you dropping this weekend?
Forcing full songs too early
Strumming harder to “sound better”
Avoiding the capo out of pride
Practising with no time reference at all
One small correction, repeated, beats a big plan you don’t stick to.

You’ve probably heard these “rules” before — the ones that sound sensible, but quietly slow you down.
Today’s lesson: These acoustic guitar myths are holding you back (busted with quick demos so your ears can decide).
Which one do you want me to tackle first:

Quick check-in: did you try one small change this week?
If you did, tell me which one:
1. Learn a useful “snippet” without guilt
2. Strum softer and sculpt the sound
3. Use a capo without apologising
4. Practise with a metronome or drum groove
Small wins count. One tweak, repeated, beats a perfect plan you never stick to.
