Private Tuition with Steve Luff

Welcome to Guitar Beginners,
Hi, my name is Steve Luff, I am a professional musician who resides in Stafford, Staffordshire.
You can regularly find me gigging around the UK – playing my own blend of soulful music and acoustic blues guitar in some of the UK’s top Jazz & Blues venues (see more).
When not performing I work from home as a private music tutor. I primarily teach guitar but also teach banjo, chromatic harmonica, ukulele & voice led piano.
As a teacher my ethos is to inject heart & soul into every aspect of learning, helping students surprise themselves at their hidden talents; giving them more than just the basics to go and practice after every lesson.
In the past I have worked in formal education including schools and colleges. I have also delivered freelance educational workshops in music and media across Staffordshire. I have professional teaching qualifications and a full DBS.
Working Musician



My experiences as a professional musician have really shaped my teaching style. Everything I have learned over 20+ years of playing is passed onto my students.
I play and teach a vast range of styles including acoustic, electric, classical & slide. I teach all genre’s of music including folk, jazz, reggae, rock & everything else in-between. A specialist in finger style blues guitar, many of my students seek me out for this knowledge.
Bespoke Lessons

It may be your first time picking up a guitar or perhaps you are looking for new challenges. My teaching style breaks down learning into an easily digestible format, which is tailored to your style of learning.
Experienced Tutor

All ages and abilities welcome, I have a full DBS certificate & an experienced background in teaching spanning over 17 years. I not only teach complete beginners but all levels of ability drawing on my 20+ years of playing and performing.
Fun & Professional

I teach quality, fun and professional lessons from my home in Stafford. Many of my face to face students are local and reside around Stafford, Stone, Cannock, Rugeley, Eccleshall & Penkridge. I also teach students from all over the UK and the world online.
