I’m the person behind Guitar Theory Online, a project that brings together two of my biggest passions: music and technology.

I’ve been playing guitar for over two decades, and I’m entirely self-taught. Most of what I’ve learned has come through experimentation, playing by ear, learning from other musicians and spending countless hours figuring things out on the fretboard.

I don’t have a formal music education or a degree from Berklee, but I’ve developed a solid understanding of what I consider practical music theory: the kind that helps you understand what you’re playing, why it works and how to apply that knowledge when writing, improvising or playing with others.

Alongside music, I’ve spent much of the last decade working in web development, with an interest in technology that goes back considerably further. Guitar Theory Online is where those interests come together. It’s an opportunity to build interactive tools and educational resources that make music theory easier to explore, understand and apply to the guitar.

A Resource That Keeps Improving

I don’t consider this website a finished product, and I don’t intend for it to become one.

My aim is to build a resource that continues to grow and improve, both in the tools it provides and the quality of its educational content.

I’m confident in the material I publish, but I also recognise that there’s always room to improve. If you find an error, disagree with an explanation or know a clearer way to communicate something, I welcome the feedback.

If you spot any errors or have requests for lessons, please message me directly at info@guitartheoryonline.co.uk.

Keeping Education Accessible

I believe access to education shouldn’t depend on someone’s financial circumstances.

That’s one of the reasons Guitar Theory Online is free to use, with no subscriptions, paywalls or accounts required.

I currently have no plans to monetise the site directly. If it grows to a point where hosting and maintenance costs become difficult to cover personally, I may need to explore ways of supporting it financially.

For as long as I’m able to maintain it independently, however, that’s what I intend to do.

A Commitment to Privacy

I believe privacy is a right, not a luxury, and it shouldn’t be something people have to pay extra to protect.

Guitar Theory Online is built around that principle.

Regardless of how the website develops, including whether I eventually introduce advertising or other forms of funding, my commitment remains the same: I will never sell your personal data or deliberately collect personal information for advertising or profiling.

My goal is simple: to provide useful tools and educational content without asking visitors to sacrifice their privacy in return.
