Guitar / Bass Lessons in Abergavenny, Wales
By far the most popular instruments to learn these days we meet such a high demand for Guitar and Bass lessons with our 3 very talented guitarists here at Mayzmusik.
All our tutors have their own instruments for demonstrations, but students will learn on their own Guitars during lessons.
Lisa-Marie
Lisa-Marie began playing guitar as a small child. Her father Pip Williams taught her everything she knows! She began to spearhead the campaign to get more girls playing guitar by only playing the Daisy Rock guitars - her bass is a pink daisy & her guitar a purple butterfly!
In 2005 Lisa-Marie achieved a 90% distinction on bass in the first Band Grade held at Mayzmusik along with tutors James Clement & Lewis Bray.
Pip
Pip is May`s husband, a former session player from the 1960`s. Pip has played with the likes of "T-Rex" and "Spooky Tooth", and after a number of years in the computer industry, Pip returned to the music scene in the 80's when he composed his Rock Opera "Celtic Dreams". He produced the single "Sunshine in the Morning" (B side "King Maker") which was released on the Mystic Records label. Pip went on to become A & R Manager for that label and the Rock Opera debuted in Birmingham where it was declared a success. All through this period Pip had a couple of guitar students and in 1998, Pip began teaching the Rock School Ltd Rock Grades. Soon demand for lessons grew and grew and in June 2003, Pip became a full time Guitar teacher. Pip is still writing and is currently working on a new musical.
Lewis 
Lewis is actually a former student of ours and having reached grade 5 from scratch within 18 months, proved to be a natural guitarist. After having played now for around 11 years, was invited to join our team in 2005.
Lewis specialises in Rock, Metal and Blues and can also teach advanced rock techniques. As a self taught Basist Lewis also offers 1st hand experience on how to transfer your knowledge of the guitar to the Bass Guitar.
