"I've been taking acoustic guitar lessons with Neil for over eighteen months.The first thing he taught me was what I thought was impossible - barre chords! He made it so easy and that has opened up so much for my playing.
I was initially nervous about taking lessons but Neil is very relaxed and friendly,a mate really. I highly recommend Neil." - Keith Davies
"You must come and see Neil"

Bryan James
"Neil's teaching style is both effective and efficient, I have never made so much progress so simply and with such a smile on my face. All those years of struggling with myself and my guitar seem to be evaporating right in front of me, its fantastic.....  the NLP basis I have never seen applied to music tuition - wow what a revolution to making music fun and enjoyable to learn again. The feeling of confidence as you progress so easily is priceless."

Here's what people say about my work on their guitars:
Jack plays with his band Unnatural Order. When his DBZ Barchetta developed fret problems he called me to sort it out.
Jack expected it to be an expensive full-on fret job, but years of experience and the seasoned eye of an expert guitar tech made that unnecessary, so Jack got his lovely guitar back for way less than he expected, and playing better than when it was brand new.
