About Me



Hopefully, with Virtual Bettina, we can deliver a subtle blend of everything I've ever loved about music as an artform ... from simple melodies and structures to complex applications of harmony, technique and a slight progressiveness to stimulate the intellect as well as emotions.

Putting it simply, I just wanna plug in, crank-up and enjoy making a racket with my mates! :-)

Thanks for listening,

Paul Hanness is an experienced RGT -approved guitar tutor based in the South East London/Kent area (teaching all examination grades fully accredited by the London College of Music ).
