I have loved every second of my lessons with Nigel, I have been learning guitar for about two years with Nigel and I couldn't ask for a better guitar teacher.

Nigel is a great tutor, very friendly and always willing to work with you to find what you want to learn . I have played guitar on and off for a while trying to learn through online courses and youtube videos, but I have progressed more with Nigel in a few months than years of trying to self teach. Would reccomend to anyone of any level

My son Leo started lessons with Nigel in March. Face to face at first, but all lessons on Skype since the middle of March. I cant recommend Nigel highly enough. He is a great guitar teacher and Leo loves his teaching style. We are amazed at what hes been able to learn and how much he enjoys the classes. And it works just as well over Skype.
