I have known Martyn now for 3 years since retiring and taking up playing the guitar. Before retiring, I had on several occasions attempted to learn the guitar without success finding the process of going through exercises shown in tutorial books boring.
Martyn immediately tapped into my specific wishes of initially learning to play the blues, explaining the pentatonic and various scales and being extremely patient when I find a specific technique hard to master. Over the years, I like to think of Martyn as a friend and can only give full praise for his skills both as a guitarist and a tutor and

After having a guitar in the house for the past 30 years ,decided I needed help. Been taking lessons with Martyn for a year now and super impressed with my progress and the quality of the lessons. At last I feel I'm making massive steps forward and really enjoying the challenge. Have recommended and will continue to do so. This guys is an incredible guitarist and tutor.

Martyn is an excellent guitar tutor who is patient and very encouraging. He has done everything possible to advance my ability with the guitar. Practising at home seems a pleasant experience due to his use of technology, such as music, video and pdf files. I would recommend Martyn to anyone who wants to play the guitar. Theodora
