I'm so grateful to have, over time, built-up such a large group of guitar students. The last 20 years has been so completely rewarding as I've witnessed many beginners develop and grow into versatile and fine guitar players! 🙂🎸 The guitar is such a flexible and enjoyable instrument to play. So, if you've ever considered learning to play an instrument, I can certainly recommend our 6 and 12 string, acoustic, or electric friend the guitar! 🙂🙂🎸

RIP John Miles 1949-2021. Best known for his rock ballad and hit single 'Music'. John was an extremely versatile musician and singer songwriter. During his career he has worked with many of the greats including Jimmy Page and Tina Turner. However, for me personally, I believe he was one of Britain's finest guitar players. A number of my students will be aware of when I have referenced his work before. He will be sadly missed by many people who have followed his great body of work down through the years.

Here is a good tip I read today. Don't just practice a piece until you get it right, practice a piece until you can't get it wrong!

Interesting article

I could have picked two or three different titles for this rant, yet effectively they would all have amounted to the same thing – Why has my local guitar shop closed down ? – Or, why does my local guitar shop no longer stock major brands like Fender, Yamaha, Gibson or Marshall ? – This …
