Just in case you are wondering, the lesson content is not the same for every student and yours will be tailored to match your personal musical tastes and requirements.

I have several friends who are past or current students of Kevin, and I really wanted to learn the best technique to get the most out of my time and money – so I went to the best.

Playing guitar is a huge investment in time and energy. You need to make the most of that to get the best out of it – and having a great teacher like Kevin is the best start.

To sum up my experience of working with Kevin over the past 15 years - Since I began with him, my playing career and my life in general have both travelled down a very positive path to become the kind of player I had always dreamed of being.

I've been playing bass for 40 years and all that time people have told me that reading music was too hard. Then I started with Kevin to learn how to do it. Now 5 months later I am in my first reading band and looking forward to the many gigs they have. This band includes the best players in the area as well.

All levels taught

I have had a few guitar teachers over the years. I found that what I was taught didn't really prepare me for the “real world” of music. Kevin has been good in helping me to clearly understand things and has taught me to be able to apply my skills in the real world.
