Guitar lessons for future legends

Come on darls, let's make some noise!

"Every lesson feels like a jam session!"

No judgement. No fluff. Just a safe space to shred.

Most guitar lessons are designed by and for dudes who already feel at home with the instrument. Well, that's not how mine work. Whether you're strumming a guitar for the very first time or gearing up to start your own band, I'll help you discover your sound, boost your confidence, and play with passion - free from gatekeeping and boring theory dumps.

Queer-friendly space

Guitar Darls empowers femmes, thems and the broader LGBTQI+ community by providing a safe, encouraging environment to learn to play guitar.

Learn what matters

Riffs, power chords, soloing, stage presence, songwriting. Real-world skills from someone who's lived it.

What you'll learn

More than just repetitive scales & boring theory

Learn guitar as a complete musical language, not just a technical skill

Riffs & techniques

Learn the guitar parts that make music come alive. We'll get you playing songs you actually want to play.

Gear set up & tone

Demystify pedals, amps, and effects. Learn the all lingo and get that sound in your head out of your guitar.

Songwriting basics

Turn your ideas into actual songs. We'll work on structure, lyrics, and making it yours.

I’d been stuck in a rut for years, playing the same few chords. One lesson in and I was already learning riffs that made me feel alive again. It’s like therapy, but louder.

I've been playing for over 20 years and I'm just starting to hit my stride. I'm the lead guitarist and co-vocalist of DOWNGIRL, an all-femme punk band that's played around Australia — from crowded pubs to huge stages, promoting safe, rock-fuelled environments for women and queer folk.

I’ve toured and recorded as a session guitarist for other incredible Australian artists, and now I'm here to assist you in forging your own journey. 

I don't teach by the book - my lessons are all about real-world playing, raw energy, and unlocking the kind of confidence you can't get from YouTube videos.
