I started learning how to play the guitar with Ben a few years ago, and I have learnt so much from him in that time, and I continue to do so. Ben is very patient and encouraging when going to try something out my comfort zone, and helps in any places where there is room for improvement. I am starting to feel a lot more comfortable playing and getting to learn how to play songs I enjoy to listen to. Would highly recommend Ben to anyone who was thinking about taking up guitar:)
Been going to Ben for guitar lessons since June 2019 and I can't recommend him highly enough, I always come away from a lesson feeling like I'm making great progress and learning new skills.
Like a lot of people I started with an online course, working through basic chords and rhythms for around a year but felt that I reached a point I couldn't get past and it felt like a chore to practice. After the first lesson with Ben I was amazed at the difference, I went away reinvigorated and practice was fun again!
Ben is a patient teacher who is very adept at knowing what you are capable of, even if you don't. It doesn't matter if it's a classic rock riff, rhythm practice, or the solo from a Pink Floyd song - Ben's lessons are perfectly structured to push you forward at a comfortable pace without feeling overwhelming.

I started to learn guitar with Ben in my 70’s, a very late beginner indeed. I have found Ben to be a wonderful teacher. Someone who explains things clearly so you can fully understand what’s required and all at your own pace. He has loads of patience and will only give you what he thinks you are capable of, maybe a wee bit more. Guitar lessons under Bens tutoring is meant to be and is fun. I had a problem playing a piece in front of Ben, something I could play easily on my own . Ben installed confidence in myself, helping me to get over it.

I have been going to guitar lessons for a few months now and have learnt a lot from Ben. Ben is such an amazing teacher! He is very patient, and inspires me to go on with my guitar when I see him play, you can tell he has a lot of experience. He will always go at the pace that is best suited to you so you always get the very best out of what you are learning and are able to understand fully, He never pushes you too hard, but encourages you to do well in the kindest way possible. I'm so happy that I went to Ben to teach me guitar, I don't think I could have found a better teacher.

Ben has been teaching me lead guitar since I started as a complete beginner. I have really enjoyed my lessons and I feel as though I have made good progress while having great fun. Ben's teaching style is easygoing and light-hearted but at the same time very instructive both musically and technically. I would recommend Ben to anyone who wants to sound good fast and learn in a no pressure atmosphere.
