Recommended. Ben is a very organized and good guitar teacher. He provides documentation and also takes your level into account.

I’ve been taking lessons with Ben for two months now, and I’ve already learned so much! He’s incredibly patient and starts right from the basics (at least for beginners). As someone who barely remembered any music theory, I’m now learning it through the guitar thanks to him. You can also let him know if something doesn’t suit you or feels too difficult — he’ll adjust his lessons accordingly. Amazing teacher. Highly recommended!
Wim Gardin
I took lessons with Ben for almost five years — first on classical guitar, later on electric. Even though I’m no musical genius, Ben taught me how to play and, more importantly, made learning fun. Music theory, reading notes, rhythm, chords, my first (simple) solo, playing together/duets, classical, pop, blues, rock… it’s all covered. The impact of regular (weekly or biweekly) practice sessions is huge: practice and consistency make perfect! Ben is a coach you can truly rely on!
Robert Mitchell
So far, I’ve taken 20 lessons with Ben. He’s incredibly patient and makes learning guitar as an absolute beginner both understandable and fun!
Steven Driesen
A very patient teacher. You learn at your own pace, with lesson times arranged together — super convenient if you already have a pretty packed schedule.
Robin Daems
A fantastic mentor for guitar lessons. The lesson structure was fully tailored to my experience and delivered with a lot of patience. From barely being able to play a chord to, just 2–3 months later, playing along with songs after some practice — I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made.
Steven De Meyer
Great guitar lessons with a nice balance between theory, technique, and actually playing. After just three lessons, I’ve already made clear progress. Definitely recommended!
Koen Schrooten
An amazing teacher for both the kids and myself!
Gert Maes
Walked in as a total newbie, and after just five lessons I’ve already learned a lot and can play my first song. A nice mix of theory and practice, with a very patient teacher.

Marnik Maes
Top private lessons. I have learned a lot in the past years. Now I understand music theory, I can improvise effortlessly and my technique has improved enormously. The lessons are focused on your level and your musical interest, which makes the learning process very pleasant. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar or improve their musical skills.

Your guitar teacher through and through
My name is Ben, professional guitarist and teacher, born and raised in Antwerp, Wilrijk. At the age of 12 I learned to play my first chords and riffs of NIrvana on the acoustic guitar. Later, at the age of 16, I was introduced to the electric guitar and my father gave me a combo guitar set. When I learned to use my first effects shortly after and noticed that I could imitate the sound of my favorite bands, the ball really started rolling.
The first stumbling blocks
Initially, chord grips were a major challenge. Some grips seemed impossible to achieve in the short term and musical passages that I wanted to play just wouldn't flow. I still recognize that frustration in many beginners, and that makes me perfectly empathize with their learning process.
Lifelong learning and playing
Over the years my musical taste changed regularly, from heavy metal to baroque, from silent periods to intense practice sessions. After my bachelor in business administration I decided to focus even more on my instrument. I practiced for hours every day and immersed myself in blues, ragtime fingerpicking, neoclassical rock and metal rhythm and lead guitar.
Performances and collaborations
I played in several bands, including the Irish folk and bluegrass band Medra, and the cover band Nediam Nori. In addition, as a guitarist I often played with others under the radar, for fun, but always instructive. I have also worked regularly with students for the recordings of their own written songs.
Guitar lessons tailored to your goals
After an extensive education at Berklee College of Music, and experience as both a rhythm and solo guitarist in various styles, my mission is clear: I want to help everyone who is passionate about music to take their guitar playing to the next level with a personal lesson program. In this way, we avoid a lot of frustration and loss of time, and it is simply about having fun with music again.
