Levels We Offer For Guitar Lessons: Beginner Guitar, Intermediate Guitar, Advanced Guitar, Expert Guitar, Casual Guitar

Thilan's feedback about Matthew (Intermediate Guitar tuition near Mansfield)

Sure! Here’s a concise and positive review for the guitar tutor: We are grateful for Matthew and his fantastic approach to teaching guitar. He has tailored lessons to my daughter’s interests, making learning both enjoyable and engaging. Rather than focusing on exams, he has helped her develop a true love for playing by incorporating her favorite songs while also ensuring she learns essential techniques and fundamentals. His patience, encouragement, and ability to adapt to her needs have made a huge difference. Highly recommend!

Kasia's feedback about Ben (Intermediate Guitar tuition near Swindon)

Ben is a very well organised and very patient teacher. Even though I only started lessons with him I feel that I already learned a lot. He makes complex things very easy to understand and prepares for each lesson. I always leave with some papers to study at home. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a guitar teacher.

Emma's feedback about Vince (Intermediate Guitar tuition near Lee-on-the-solent)

I have been having online fortnightly guitar lessons for the past few months. Vince has a really organic teaching style, being led by where I want to develop my guitar playing. He been great at showing me new techniques and explaining music theory specific to guitar, giving me the toolkit to have more skill and confidence in my guitar playing.

David's feedback about Keith (Beginner Guitar tuition near St. Albans)

Keith is very knowledgable and practical.He has made it easy for me as an absolute beginner to start playing the guitar.

John's feedback about Paul (Intermediate Guitar tuition near Warrington)

Very approachable, encouraging tutor. Obvs a very skilled guitarist and I feel his years of experience rubbing off onto me and he has begun (within one lesson) to fix my poor technique. Looking forward to more lessons with Paul.

Alison's feedback about Ray (Beginner Guitar tuition near Wigston)

My daughter is really enjoying her lessons

Andrew's feedback about Will (Beginner Guitar tuition near Sale)

Will has the patience of a saint. My grandson looks forward to his lessons and is coming on leaps and bounds. Which has surprised all the family considering he is only 5.

Atticus's feedback about Jamie (Beginner Guitar tuition near Clapham)

Jamie is a brilliant teacher. He is punctual, helpful, engaging and has helped me improve massively. I recommend him to anyone.

Vincent's feedback about Campbell (Beginner Guitar tuition near Coatbridge)

Only had 1 lesson so far, but my daughter enjoyed it! We've had good experiences in the past from teachers, but felt it was more result focused (ie 'let's learn to play this song'), rather than provide her the fundamentals and tools to give her better flexibility and capability to enjoy her instrument. Campbell has taken this pre-lesson feedback on board, and is taking a more hybrid approach with my daughter - mixing necessary musical understanding with learning to play music she enjoys. Im hoping this will yield better progression for my daughter. All good so far!

Gareth's feedback about Damien (Intermediate Guitar tuition near Newcastle)

Damien is a great tutor with resources and talent to burn and listens to his student's needs. I asked him to unlock decades of plodding style and poor technique on my part and he gave me a lot to think about that would do just that. I was unable to do justice to his teaching through a lack of practice time but the seeds are sown and when time is available, I will master those arpeggios :-)
