About Nikos

I'm Nikos Ziarkas—a professional guitarist, jazz graduate, and passionate educator with over 20 years of touring and teaching experience. I offer guitar lessons for all levels, rooted in real-world experience from international touring, studio recording, and academic settings. Originally from Rhodes, Greece, I grew up in a musical family and began playing in rock bands as a teenager before diving into jazz and improvised music. I moved to London in 2011 to study jazz at Middlesex University and have been active in the UK and international music scenes ever since. As a performer, I’m best known as the guitarist and co-leader of the experimental jazz group Valia Calda, and for my work with acclaimed artists such as Theon Cross, Chelsea Carmichael, Steam Down, Moses Boyd, Ron Trent, and Lex Amor. I’ve toured internationally and performed at festivals and venues including Blue Note NY, Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz al Parque Bogotá, Montreal Jazz Festival, Jazz Is Dead LA, among many others. My style blends jazz, rock, punk, experimental, and folk, drawing influence from some of my favourite players like Bill Frisell, Jimi Hendrix, and John Scofield. My music has been featured on BBC, KEXP, Jazz FM, WDR, and in films and documentaries on platforms like ERT and Soul Food.

I’ve been teaching guitar for over 15 years—privately, in music schools, and as a guest tutor giving masterclasses at institutions such as Cambridge, Lincoln, and Bath University. My approach to teaching is built on three key pillars: 1. Personal Connection I believe in building a strong, direct relationship with each student. Together, we identify the kind of guitarist and musician you want to become—your musical strengths, areas to improve, and your creative goals. Lessons are a space to explore ideas, talk about music and art, and create a personalised path forward. 2. Strong Fundamentals A solid foundation is essential. We'll work on fretboard knowledge, picking and finger techniques, warm-up routines tailored to your needs, and building good habits. I focus on balancing musicality with technique—no boring, robotic exercises, but real, engaging practice that keeps you motivated. 3. Repertoire, Repertoire, Repertoire! Learning songs is one of the most effective ways to grow as a musician. I've developed a rich collection of tunes that reflect the history and styles of the guitar—riffs, melodies, and chord progressions that help you connect with the instrument and understand the traditions behind it. All lessons are one hour long, personalised for each student, and supported by high-quality audio/video, guitar charts, tabs, chord symbols, and carefully structured material. I teach all levels, acoustic and electric. Your first 30-minute lesson is free—I look forward to meeting you!
