Lessons include PDF materials, plus audio and video files.

Reviews
Hear what students and parents have to say
"I sent my daughter to Adam so she could learn guitar. She had no idea how to play and now it's been around two years and she really enjoys playing and knows how to play lots of songs. Adam is an amazing teacher for my daughter and I would recommend for other new players who are learning from the basics to go to Adam."
"I've been getting lessons from Adam for over 4 years now and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a guitar teacher. Learning to play an instrument can be a lifelong hobby, but if you want a steer on what you're doing right and what you need to improve on, a teacher can really accelerate your progress. I've gone from a dabbler to someone who sometimes sounds like they know what they're doing and I couldn't have done it without Adam's help."
"I would highly recommend Adam to anyone that is looking for a professional guitar teacher. My son enjoyed every minute of his lessons. I am tremendously grateful for everything he taught my son and I am happy with my son's result in his Rockschool exam. He got a grade 8 distinction!"
