All sessions available in-person (Kings Langley) or online via Zoom. All ages (4+ to senior), all abilities and any special needs are welcome!
Hi, I’m Charlie, a guitarist, songwriter and 5-star rated tutor based in Kings Langley, with over 20 years’ experience helping people of all ages learn to play. I’ve gigged to crowds of 40,000, played everything from punk and jazz to acoustic at weddings, events and festivals, and still find there’s nothing better than seeing someone fall in love with guitar for the first time. I work with everyone from absolute beginners to advanced players, including kids, adult learners and those returning to it later in life. Lessons are relaxed, tailored to you, and rooted in real music you actually want to play. You can come to my home in Kings Langley, join online via Zoom, or even learn as a parent-and-child duo - whatever suits.
If you’ve been thinking about learning, I’d love to hear from you.

"Charlie is a very knowledgeable and experienced guitarist. He teaches to the level of the student and is clear and very encouraging. I am really enjoying my lessons with him and actually making progress!"
"Really enjoying being taught by Charlie. He is very patient and encouraging. Have only been learning for a few weeks but it’s going well so far and I look forward to the weekly lessons."
"My 6 yo son has been having guitar lessons with Charlie since the end of 2019 and I'm amazed at the progress he's made. Charlie is really natural with him, making lessons fun and engaging and bringing out the best in Henry. I'm always concerned he won't last the hour at the end of the school day but Charlie's encouragement really spurs him on.
And now we're in lockdown we've moved to lessons over Zoom which are just as productive!"
"Brilliant stuff from my son Teddy's guitar teacher #CharlieHodgsonGuitarTutoring. I cannot recommend Charlie enough, Teddy has come on in leaps and bounds since joining Charlie last year, especially learning all the classic Oasis tracks! Charlie is a great teacher. The lessons are fun, interactive and well paced. Teddy is really enjoying learning his favourite Oasis songs! "
"Charlie is an excellent tutor and a very talented musician, he taught me to play to a fantastic ability level!"
"I cannot recommend Charlie enough. He is patient, friendly, makes lessons enjoyable and teaches theory really thoroughly whilst always focusing on my favourite tracks. He is a superb musician, there is no one better to learn from!"
Charlie's classes have been great. My 10 year old son loves them. I was apprehensive about distance online classes for music, but it's working so well! I'd highly recommend him!
Another fantastic remote guitar lesson in progress...Charlie is so patient & shares his knowledge so brilliantly!”
"Lockdown gave me a chance to pick up the guitar that I bought a couple of years ago and never had a chance to try. Charlie’s Skype lessons have been brilliant - he is so patient and encouraging. My daughter who was already learning at school really liked Charlie and wanted to learn with him too. Having never seen her practice at home, it was so great to watch her picking up her guitar every day and enjoying practicing. Thank you Charlie! 🙏🏻"
"Charlie is extremely patient, excellent tutor would definitely recommend!"
"I would highly recommend guitar lessons with Charlie Hodgson. He is very experienced, having played in various bands and been teaching for some time, and he has a natural way of teaching which you don’t find often. He does fantastic online lessons too which work really well. Definitely worth giving him a try, whether you’re young or old. "
" I bought my dad guitar lessons as a fathers day present for me and him to do together. Charlie was so patient and helpful. He made the lesson fun as well! So much so, we both have carried on. When lockdown started he did the classes online through zoom which really do work.
Charlie has great communication, extremely talented and just all round a lovely person. We both love our lessons."
" Charlie is a fantastic guitar teacher to my 7 year old son. He knows what makes him tick, keeps him engaged, makes the lessons fun and has really got him hooked on playing. He also made the transition to online lessons in lockdown and it's working brilliantly. I can't recommend him highly enough. "
