Getting guitar lessons with Greg is one of the best decisions I have made for my guitar progression and I would highly recommend to anyone.I started lessons because I wanted to better understand the theory behind my playing and become a better musician in general.Greg?s musical approach to helping me understand the fretboard has made the process really enjoyable and I look forward to the journey ahead!

Having listened to a wide range of guitar music for many a year. I decided to learn how to play the instrument at a 'veteran age' expecting to last a few months and satisfy myself with a few riffs. Greg was strongly recommended, and it's a testament to his immense patience, skill, knowledge and teaching abilities that I continue to learn from him after more than a year. It has been a rewarding and enriching experience learning from him. I cannot recommend Greg enough.Jeevan

To say this guy is good would be nothing short of an understatement, please read on . . . . . . .I started learning the guitar at the age of 58 having never played a single note in my life. Before Greg, I had another instructor, who was 'kinda' ok, but after about 6months, I didn't feel like I was going to progress very far at even a half decent rate, (let's face it, we all want to be able to throw away the air guitar and play for real like a mega rock star overnight !)After searching the local area, I stumbled across Greg, and a few months later became a regular student of his when a regular opportunity became available. That was September 2021 and the start of a very rewarding learning curve! Greg has the patience of a saint, is extremely subject knowledgeable, and can certainly strum a mean guitar!With his 'adhoc' videos that he allows me to take with my phone, to assist with timing, chord selection, strumming patterns etc, it is almost impossible to fail ! Greg's facilities are modern, comfortable, dedicated to learning and his teaching style is both precise and relaxed, nothing less than a great recipe for personal success with learning the guitar!Since I started with Greg, (I am now nearly 61), I have confidently progressed to having a nice little repertoire of songs that I can comfortably (and melodically) play, without sounding like an absolute beginner. My 'catalogue' of songs include, Nights in White Satin, Wonderwall, Hurt, Say You Won't Let Go (which is a picking technique), and a very nice bass routine for 'My Girl' !If you have got the will, time and desire to learn the guitar (and the dedication to regularly practice), then Greg is definitely the man to contact. I cannot recommend this guy enough.

I was gifted a guitar lesson with Greg 18 months ago, as I expressed an interest in learning to play guitar. I decided to continue taking 2 lessons a month, and I'm so glad I did! Greg has patience in spades, is easy going yet professional and really knows how to get the best out of me. He is also clearly a talented player himself. I feel I've come on in leaps and bounds since starting lessons. Starting with absolute basics like how to correctly hold a pick, basic open chords, tuning my guitar correctly, through barre chords, and finger picking styles. Alongside the physical aspects of playing the instrument, I have also learnt a good deal of music theory, which at first seemed foreign and complicated, but thanks to Greg explaining a step at a time, has started clicking into place. I'd recommend Greg as a tutor to anyone wishing to learn to play!

Greg is the man, a fantastic tutor and overall good guy. You not only get great tuition from Greg, but great conversation aswell. What you get from Greg you cannot get learning from YouTube and learning solo. Greg picks up on areas to improve in your playing, I've found the smallest of details Greg has pointed out have made huge differences in my playing. Highly highly recommended.

It has been a total pleasure learning to play guitar with Greg. I was a complete novice when I started having lessons with him 6+ years ago, and have been able to embrace a solid foundation of playing with confidence gaining much enjoyment from it.Greg's incredible skill, knowledge and open teaching style creates an environment that consistently makes the learning process supportive and joyful.He fully embraced the music I wanted to learn and taught me with the ability to approach my playing and practice time constructively.I cannot be more thrilled that I have learned to play guitar through Greg's tuition, I have enjoyed many hours of lessons with him, he is a wonderful insightful tutor with the patience of a saint!Vic Youngson

After many years of trying to learn to play Guitar and failing, a few years ago I started lessons with Greg. My goal was to learn some music theory and learn to play guitar to a standard where I could play with others in a band. I'm now doing just that thanks to Greg.He has given me the tailored lessons I needed to teach me exactly what I wanted to know, he has given me encouragement and motivation all the way.If you are stuck in a rut with your guitar learning, like I was, then Greg is the man to get you moving on. I've got to know Greg quite well and I enjoy the weekly lesson as there's always something else to focus on and learn.-Steve

I have been having lessons for 3mths and highly recommend Greg! I started off with very little knowledge of the guitar? perhaps 2 chords from my junior school days? to having almost a stage set of songs, techniques and tunes that I absolutely love playing! Greg is patient, friendly and will go completely at your pace. I have absolutely ?got the bug? for music? I hope you will too! My advice? try it! If you?re brushing up, or starting from scratch, give Greg a call and get yourself some lessons in the diary.

I?ve been having lessons with Greg for just over a year now, and can say he?s a lovely person who is really skilled in both playing and teaching guitar. Greg teaches from whatever starting point you may be at, keeping the lessons engaging and personal to your preferences, both in song choice and ability, while encouraging and teaching you to improve and grow your skill in playing your instrument. He keeps to a professional standard in his teaching and methods, however creates a very casual, no-pressure environment which allows you to learn at your own pace without being worried about judgement or performance if you are nervous about those aspects of learning the guitar as I was, this allowing me to ensure you that he understands these worries and his teaching reflects that through his encouragement and kindness towards your playing, whatever stage you may be at.

We've been benefitting from Greg's tuition for 8 years. Greg has exceptional skills in the way he delivers his lessons, the development of the student being at the core of everything he does. Whilst Greg holds all of the traditional techniques, he has the most current and modern mindset, which makes his lessons not only beneficial but also enjoyable.During lockdown Greg's on line lessons are very well organised and well delivered, maintaining on going progress and development.

I've been with Greg for quite a few years now and I honestly couldn't ask for a better teacher! I spent a lot of time jumping round tutors before Greg looking for the right fit, I've been with him ever since. He's very patient, kind and is really amazing at explaining things in a way that makes sense. Cannot recommend him enough!

My 12 year old son and I have been having lessons with Greg for 18 months now. I can?t believe how much we have improved.Greg has a really inspiring way of teaching that builds confidence in us and encourages us to use the skills we have learnt but push ourselves to progress. We always leave our lesson with a new goal.I can?t recommend him enough he is a brilliant teacher.
