Looking for a great location to film someone playing guitar - London or Kent

Find an empty office building, I think there will probably be some space in Tolworth Tower just outside of London. You could call the owners and enquire about renting a floor for one day.

Andertons Film Studios. Tell Lee I sent you

Asylum Chapel in SE15.

Great shout. Cheers. Would probably sound like arse with all the reverb but would look lovely.

Could you record the guitar sound with a Kemper?  You could always have an amp for show, like some live bands do.

No sadly. A cooking valve amp is part of it all.

Close mic the amp. Job done.

I'd close mic the amp, and also use a mic on the camera to catch some of the reverb, you can blend a bit of that in for effect.

Don't know Kent particularly well, but we have a client based down on the Historic Dockyards at Chatham.  There are various buildings there with different interiors from modern office to exposed brickwork olde stylee, and the relevant people might be open to letting you use one?
