About Me
My name is Lee, and I’m a guitarist based in Cardiff, UK.
As a Teacher:
I’ve been teaching guitar for over 20 years, working with students of all ages and abilities across South Wales and London. My experience spans private lessons (both in-person and online), school and college programs, and even corporate workshops. I’m proud to be one of the few teachers officially approved by JustinGuitar, a globally respected platform for guitar education.
As a Student:
I’ve studied under some of the UK’s top guitar educators, including Justin Sandercoe, Martin Goulding, and Dario Cortese. My academic background includes a BSc Honours degree in Music Technology and a NOCN qualification in Creative Music Making. I also reached the finals of the 2009 ICMP Guitar Diploma Scholarship in London.
As a Performer:
Between 2000 and 2010 (in the days of CDs), I performed regularly across South Wales and the UK.
Now with more of a focus on family life, I dedicate my professional development to teaching. I still write guitar loops for fun and occasionally put out the odd video on Instagram.
Outside of Music:
When I’m not teaching or playing guitar, I love spending time with my wife and twelve-year-old twins, getting on the tennis court, and making the most of healthy living and family life.

Reviews
I really enjoy teaching and have been doing it a long time. One of the best feelings of all though, is when a student is really absorbing ideas and concepts you share with them. They go away and work real hard on their own and come back with the perfect questions. Lee was one of those students and I really enjoyed working with him on his guitar journey and watching him make significant progress over a year. That was long ago now and I’ve no doubt he’s become an excellent teacher and player and hope you enjoy taking lessons with him!
I’ve only been taking lessons with Lee for a couple of months but I’m literally itching to overhear somebody say they’re thinking of taking up guitar so I can interject myself into the conversation and recommend Mr. Mead-Batten.
Lee probably has the best way with children of almost anyone I’ve ever met-he is gentle and encouraging. Lenny progressed really well with Lee, and, although he was upset when Lee moved home to Wales, is now very successfully continuing his lessons via Skype.
Whether we meet in person, or over skype, the result is the same – a thoroughly enjoyable hour working through musical theory, rhythm and timing, playing technique, or the finer points of Jimi Hendrix’s sound. He is a fantastic guitar player and a truly gifted teacher who I cannot recommend highly enough.
Lee has been teaching my boys for 4 years. He is the best teacher my kids have ever had. He’s patient, energetic and fun. My boys never tire of lessons with him or complain it’s time for guitar. I like the way he doesn’t force them to practice, but inspires them in lessons so that they independently pick up a guitar anyway.
Pricing
Lessons are £40 per 55 minutes and £22 per 30 minutes.
