Dimitris collaborated with the following people/bands only as a guitarist.

Hard Road, on which I played some guitar parts and appeared on the promotional videos, reached No. 33 on the UK iTunes Country Chart and No. 29 on the Greek iTunes Chart. The single was promoted on a billboard in New York Times Square as part of the promotional campaign. I was hired again at a later date to perform at a gig with approximately 20,000 spectators (After Dark Fireworks Spectacular at Don Valley Bowl in Sheffield).

• Dimitrios Malegas (producer of many top-selling artists in the Greek music industry).

• Wild Souls (Lions Pride Music). I appeared as a guest soloist on the recording and the video clip of I Remember You. I arranged for my part of the video clip to be recorded at John Parr's studio.

• Story Teller's Night (Magnum Tribute Band).

• Scream Arena, shared the stage with The Quireboys and Marseille (Neil Buchanan's band, presenter of Art Attack).

• Pro2 Studios & EBA Records.

An expert on fast/deep learning methods provides learning tips that significantly speed up the process of learning. This results in better value for money in relation to educators who are not aware of such methods or don't know how to use them. The result? You need fewer lessons to get to a higher level in a shorter time and therefore save money!

According to an Education Endowment Foundation report based on 246 studies, it is possible when following certain teaching/learning methods to have extra progress of about 66% within a year. Dimitris capitalizes heavily on such methods to make it easier for students to reach a higher level in a shorter time while achieving deep learning. This is actually easier for students in relation to traditional teaching approaches.

1-1 vs. Group Teaching

His commitment and goal are to make the pathway to great guitar playing as smooth and as easy as possible, something that is certainly not achievable in group tuition. Students who come to us after having been exposed to group tuition can clearly see this and easily confirm it if asked. Why? Because, in contrast to private lessons, a tutor teaching a group of guitarists cannot focus 'exclusively' on a student's strengths and weaknesses to help in the best possible way. Hence, there is little value for money in the long run.

'Tuition Designed for Guitar, Knowledge Engineered to Last'.

Our slogan is 'Tuition Designed for Guitar, Knowledge Engineered to Last'. This is why we have been refusing over the years to offer a more profitable service of group tuition. Playing in a group is great, but not as the main way to learn; only as a complimentary activity and as an opportunity to apply what a student learns in the main guitar and/or theory lessons.

Don't Hesitate to Contact Us

We welcome beginners, amateurs, or professionals, as students of all ages from South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire have been clients for several years. Guitar students visit the studio from Doncaster, Barnsley, Pontefract, Rotherham, Wakefield, Mexborough, Worksop, Scunthorpe, Bawtry, Edenthorpe, Armthorpe, Tickhill, Rossington, and their surroundings.

Dimitris, through his teaching at GuitarDoncaster.com, BestGuitarLessons.online, and at the University of Salford, has developed experience in providing coaching to guitarists from bands playing original music or covers mainly in the fields of advanced improvisation, music theory, and technique. Get the advantage of well-structured guidance/coaching that can lead you to a higher level.

Some of our students have been offered places at UK universities or colleges, and some have gone into teaching or were already in bands or teachers before using the guitar coaching service.

The lower age limit we accept for guitar lessons is that of school year 4, although rare exceptions for school year 3 can occur. There is no upper age limit. Most of our clients tend to be adults.

We are here to support you at any level.

We welcome enquiries from adults (for themselves or their children) of all ages/levels, from beginners to guitarists who already have experience and play or have played in bands and want to improve some aspects of their playing.
