Paul has been amazing at adapting guitar lessons throughout this year. He has given students something to focus on during lockdown and quickly reacted to the current situation. He really is an amazing teacher and inspires young people to play guitar. I would highly recommend him.

Paul is a very talented Guitarist and the skills he gives us to learn are challenging and sometimes difficult but his patience is brilliant. You are never under pressure to achieve your goals which can be done within your own capabilities,because everyone is different,and when you are learning with other students within your small group level it is very pleasant to arrive every week and know you will enjoy the lesson.

My son has been going to G4 Ashford now for 18 months and is progressing really well with the G4 method/structure of learning. He still loves going every week too! Both of which are down to Paul's excellent teaching, enthusiasm and patience. I highly recommend G4 guitar school Ashford to anyone who wants learn to play the guitar.

My 8 year old son has been attending for several months.
Paul is an incredibly patient teacher and my son is never in a class of more than 4. The groups are worked so the students are at the same level and personalities that work together which definitely helps as they have similar tastes in music. The G4 method using TAB works very well along with the practice method to ensure all areas are practiced: picking, strumming, chords, appeggios, songs, aural and reading. In addition Paul has recently set up a website geared to each level which help enormously. especially if you are a parent like
