Welcome!

I’m Simon, a Sydney-based musician, guitarist, and teacher. I’ve released two solo records—Songs from the City and Record #2—which you can find in The Shop. I also play guitar for Soul Messengers, a Soul & RnB band with three records available on Bandcamp.

Beyond my own Music, I collaborate with Sydney artists across rock, indie, jazz, and soul as a guitarist and arranger. Check out my Gigs & Sessions page for upcoming shows and session work.

I’ve been teaching guitar for over 25 years from my Inner West studio in Leichhardt, offering private and group lessons. Visit the Lessons page for details.

Passionate about the guitar community, I run a YouTube channel with 1,000+ free lessons, gear reviews, and backing tracks—supporters on Patreon. get exclusive content, slef-contained courses and coaching. I also chat guitar and share gear reviews on the socials. 

I also write Simon Loves Guitars, a Guitar Blog covering guitar tips, gear insights, and playing advice.

My latest venture, Guitarmony, is a store for guitar-inspired apparel. I love guitars and music related t-shirts and could never find what I wanted, so I started this store. Guitarmony aims to showcase cool guitar oriented clothing and products for your guitar life!
