Richard's feedback about Patrick (Beginner Guitar tuition near Grimsby)

Very approachable and knows his stuff, has a good home setup to aid learning. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn guitar or improve their technique. I have had a couple of lessons and will be having more once I have practiced enough to warrant further advice from Pat

Liz's feedback about Michael (Beginner Guitar tuition near Kirkby Stephen)

Really enjoyed my first lesson and am looking forward to the next one. Mike was friendly and jovial, very easy to get on with. I came away feeling confident about my future progress.

Kristian's feedback about Jim (Beginner Guitar tuition near Ryde)

Jim is an excellent guitarist and teacher. I had no musical background or experience so was a little apprehensive of taking up playing the guitar. Jim has an extremely positive and encouraging approach which has helped me gain confidence and even play a number of songs in a short space of time. He is also willing to give advice between lessons to ensure I do not pick up any bad habits and keep me on track. I am thoroughly enjoying my lessons and seeing progress. I would totally recommend Jim to any beginner and beyond as his attention to detail is strict but he maintains a fun and motivational atmosphere.

Christine's feedback about Andy (Beginner Guitar tuition near Cambridge)

Andy has been a wonderful guitar teacher. He is really patient and he explains things so well that I've had no trouble following the lesson eventhough it's online. Lessons have been engaging since he provides a relaxed environment where I can go through the material at my own pace and he has a holistic approach to teaching. He offers a broader view into music theory, valuable insight into perfecting technical aspects and history surrounding the instrument which really helps fuel my own interest in honing my skills and makes you feel confident that you're in safe hands!

Jessica's feedback about Maxwell (Beginner Guitar tuition near Ilford)

So far so good! Max has been punctual and made a great connection with my kids. I like the mix of grade prep and fun pieces.

Ruairi's feedback about Lew (Beginner Guitar tuition near Pontypridd)

Im very new to music in general and have started from not being able to read music at all. With the last few lessons I've come further than I ever have before in music theory. Rather than simply learn how to play an instrument, Lew teaches me to understand how and what I'm doing. Lew is patient and extremely knowledgeable and is guiding me to become hopefully an excellent guitarist in the future. I look forward to more lessons.

Hayley's feedback about Thomas (Beginner Guitar tuition near High Wycombe)

I have just had my first lesson with Thomas. Brilliant first lesson, Thomas was well prepared and structured the lesson perfectly which is exactly what i needed after having a couple of teachers who seemed to just wing it. Couldnt recommend him more!

Aadarsha's feedback about Marco (Beginner Guitar tuition near Milltimber)

Marco is a fantastic teacher! In the past few months, I’ve made significant progress and improved much faster than before. He's always very patient, and I genuinely look forward to each lesson - they're all enjoyable, structured and tailored to my pace. He's extremely knowledgeable about technique, the instrument itself and the history behind it. The extra depth of knowledge makes each lesson even more interesting. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn and improve their guitar skills.

Steven's feedback about Ed (Beginner Guitar tuition near Harwich)

Ed is patient and has the most outrageous knowledge of guitars / instruments / music. Working at my own pace and really enjoying it. Supported me with buying the right equipment and thoroughly enjoying our lessons. Would strongly recommend.
