I’ve been taking weekly one-hour sessions with James since the beginning of the year, and the progress I’ve made is truly remarkable. Coming in with absolutely no prior training, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but James has made learning guitar an incredibly rewarding experience. James structures each lesson to build on the previous one, always tailoring assignments to my skill level and goals. During our weekend sessions, he reviews my progress, gives clear and constructive feedback, and offers tips that instantly improve my technique. His teaching style is encouraging, patient, and highly effective. It’s crazy to look back and see how much I’ve learned in just a month. James not only teaches you the fundamentals but also inspires confidence and a genuine love for playing. If you’re looking for a skilled, approachable, and dedicated guitar teacher, I can’t recommend James enough! :)

I've been taking guitar lessons with James for five years now and it's only been great. Each year I've progressed more and more and learned all aspects of the instrument, from theory to blues and jazz. James is a funny, friendly, and amazing guitarist who graduated at the top of his class. He is the best of the best.

I've been working with James for nearly 10 years and have mastered my own style of playing due to his teaching. I've learned everything on guitar from him through his patient and understanding style of teaching. He is a really great person and guitar teacher!
