Matt Cowe, experienced guitarist and guitar teacher based in Ulverston in Cumbria, offering local and Skype guitar tuition.

Here you will find information about me and links to my Bandcamp site where you can find backing tracks to my Chet Atkins videos for sale.  Take a look at the gig list below to see where you can catch me playing live. At present I am playing with local soul band The Retros, featuring vocalist Becki Fishwick, playing classic Motown and modern tunes with a retro twist. I am also gigging with fiddle player Lawrence Woof playing gypsy jazz and folk roots music as String Zoo.  Also look out for a new project playing 60’s instrumentals – The Spiratones!

Go to my YouTube channel to check out my Chet Atkins videos. Read about my history and work and if you want to get in touch please leave a reply on the contact page.  

And of course I offer one to one guitar tuition in person or over the internet with Skype. Tuition in all styles, including rock, blues, folk, classical and country with a specialisation in the style of the great Chet Atkins.
