I have so far had 7 weekly guitar tutorials (plus the free demo lesson) on a one to one basis. I had only being playing guitar for 6 months, with a teacher for just the latter three months. Greg�s lessons were largely around improving my technique, particularly that relevant to metal, when playing the electric guitar. These lesson are in contrast to those provided by my previous teacher who focussed more on teaching me songs rather than on also ensuring I was also playing them in the most efficient and accurate manner. Every lesson started on time. I liked that when I first met the Greg, they asked what it is I wanted from them. He also made it clear that it was not his intention for me to be learning to play guitar for the rest of my life as a guitarist. He made it clear that there should be goals which should be achieved. In the first lesson, after having heard what I hoped to get out of the lesson and having seen what I could do, he already had a strategy for helping me achieve my goals, which he shared there and then and agreed with me. It was very arriving at the lesson and finding that the teacher had hand outs ready and already had a plan, never actually asking me what it is I wanted to do. This was very important to me as I wanted someone to instruct me. I don't like going to lessons and having my teacher ask me exactly what I want to do, as I feel that they should know what is best for helping achieve whatever goal I outlined when we first met. The learning environment was also very comfortable and the instructor was very friendly while managing to remain sufficiently authoritative as a teacher. He also clearly loves his job of teaching and takes great pride of it which seems to make him an even better teacher for it. It also helps that he was once a self taught guitarist who then took lessons and has many certifications including in teaching. He has personal knowledge of what bad habits people teach themselves and what a good teacher can do for a guitarist. I wish I had started having lessons with him from the second I first got my mitts on a guitar.

The only small concern I had was, considering the cost of the lessons, I really wanted to get the most out of the lesson, including minimising what I consider wasting time. The instructor occasionally got carried away explaining or demonstrating something that was trivial to the lesson or just went on for longer than I felt necessary. I have a tendency to ask questions in my quest for knowledge () and it is possible that due to politeness, he humoured me. I would prefer for the teacher to, at most, briefly cover the matter, or even tell me it will be revisited at a later time when more time can be given to the subject.

All in all, I enjoyed my lessons and feel that I have learnt things that I would never have arrived at by any other means or from other teachers. I know there is a lot more I can learn, which is why I am certain that I will be looking to have more lessons when I can (before I started my lessons with Greg, I had enrolled for a 10 week guitar class in the hopes of getting used to playing with other beginners. The classes have started now, meaning I can�t manage my lessons with Greg as well. But as soon as I am done, I will be back with Greg).

Greg is a great guitar teacher. I really learned a lot and throughly recommend him.

Greg has taught me a lot in 12 months. If you want to improve your playing, no matter what level you are, I'm sure Greg can help you. I was locked in the first 5 frets of the guitar so I searched the web and found Greg. I now know all the keys and how to play the whole neck. I still have a lot to learn but Greg has improved my playing a lot and he makes the learning fun.

I started working on guitar with Greg few weks ago. I was playig guitar for long time, but I never understand its secrets and how all the scales and modes work on the fretboard. Now everything is more clear thanks to him, If I had met him long time ago, maybe now all my guitar sklills would have been different and much more better. Thank you very much....

"my first lesson with greg was just what the doctor ordered! i was struggling with  my playing and felt myself going into a bit of a guitar playing rut. greg imediatly corrected alot of the bad habits i was making which improved my playing more in that day than in the last year.greg really cares about his students and thier progress.the improvents ive made working with him have motivated me to keep playing and most importnatly learning" (Don Clark, London)
