Hellooo!
...and welcome to all things musical in the life of Robin May ~ that's me :)
I'm self-employed and split my time between learning, educating and making music. You'll find more info on my current projects within 'The Performer' section. Most of my online efforts are over on Patreon nowadays, where I post excerpts from my weekly performances, backing tracks / loops to improvise over and other student resources.
I also have 200+ videos over on YouTube. During 2025 I completed my ‘One Hundred in 100’ project - recording and uploading a new video every day for 100 days.
...and, "Yes" - I have spent much of my life with a guitar in hand!
Please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Teaching is my passion
I've been teaching guitar for decades and don't believe I will ever stop: I genuinely feel chirpier after every single lesson…it's almost like it chose me!
I provide one-to-one guitar tuition from my studio in Arnside, Cumbria as well as online guitar lessons via Zoom ; so you can have 1-2-1 guitar lessons with an experienced guitar teacher and working musician, wherever you are in the world.
Within my site you'll also find easy to understand music theory for guitarists including: what is a scale?, how to work out scales, which chords to use, how chords are created, what modes are and where to find modal scale positions.
Live improv in the UK & online
I don't just teach, I love to play live and specialise in live-looping improvisation. I perform my (100% original music) online show several times a week. Get in touch if you'd like to book me to perform at your venue / event.
For me it's all about delivering a different performance every time. My shows are a bit like snowflakes: They may seem similar but every single one is unique.
I create compositions to explore music, often using unusual and exotic scales and modes. I loop those compositions, live, and then improvise over the loops. I like to vary the way I approach the basic themes and lean heavily on a variety of effects to modulate the sounds I create with my accoustic and electric guitars.
