Break Through Your Plateau.
Play With Real Confidence.

I help intermediate guitarists who feel stuck finally understand what's holding them back — and make real, lasting progress.

Lincoln McKenzie

Hi, I'm Lincoln.

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years, teaching for 18, and performing in Melbourne-based bands since 2009.

I know what it's like to practise for years and feel like you're going nowhere — because I did exactly that for a decade before I found the right teacher and everything changed.

That experience shaped everything I do as a player as well as a teacher. Whether it's through my free videos and articles or my 1-1 coaching program, I help guitarists cut through the noise, find their path, and start making the kind of progress they know they're capable of.

What Guitarists Say About
Working With Lincoln

"

Lincoln helped me reconnect with my passion for playing. He addressed the frustration I felt when my fingers wouldn't do what my mind wanted them to. He adapts his lessons to meet your interest, which really helps you absorb the knowledge.

Your sound will also become much cleaner and you'll be able to solo over your favourite songs. Become more confident in your guitar playing with Lincoln and develop your own style.

Straight away we clicked onto what I was interested in learning and from there he has been able to give me every step required to become a more advanced player. The methods he has taught me have given me the ability to unlock the entire neck of the guitar.

Lincoln is very personable and you get a real feel for his passion when he plays — he is a true master who has clearly devoted his life to music.

Lincoln took me from knowing basic chords to playing full length songs in just over a year. He managed to incorporate the theory of the music I was playing with the songs I actually wanted to learn.

Every week I looked forward to my lessons — not only because I knew he would improve my knowledge and skill, but because he was encouraging and always patient. You could tell he was invested in helping me improve.
