“Bryn is always thorough when describing techniques, he does not let anything slip e.g. my alternate picking. He's very encouraging and is always helpful when I don't get it. He is a very good teacher and my playing has developed significantly since being tutored by him.”

Thanks Joshua! Glad to hear Bryn is picking up on your alternate picking (no pun intended!). This is one of those areas of technique that is tricky to correct, but will massively improve your playing in all areas, so great to hear you are dealing with it now!

“I'm having a great time learning the guitar with Bryn.he is very patient with me.and he is very encouraging,despite my slow progress (which is down to me)learning the guitar is harder than I expected,but I'm determined to stick with it.”

Do stick with it Derek! Nobody said learning the guitar would be easy, but you are in the right place to ensure you will get there in the end! Bryn is an excellent teacher and knows how to take the most complicated of tasks and break it down to a manageable level, so stick with him and you'll get there. Good luck!

“Really enjoying my lessons with Pete. He's a great guy and very encouraging. Slowly but surely he's turning me into something approaching a decent guitarist, which anyone who knows me would tell you is some achievement! Highly recommended.”

Thanks Andy! It's awesome to hear that Pete is turning you into a 'decent' guitar player! I'm sure you are under-selling yourself, but still good to hear! Good luck with the lessons in the future.

“My daughter started with Kiall as her guitar tutor a few weeks ago. She has been progressing slowly but surely. I have sat outside the room waiting for the lesson to finish and I must say that Kiall, is extremely good in motivating and encouraging her. I have had to rearrange the lesson and cancel the lessons on a couple of occasions and Kiall has been very accommodating. Very impressed!”

“Bring given great tips to get on and continue learning the guitar, I was a complete beginner, but now I know chords and can play some music all in a short space of time. The guitar academy has allowed me to learn at my own pace.”

(Kiall Freeman) - Posted 8 years ago

Thanks Michael! Yes learning at your own pace is important, and Bryn is excellent at tuning into how much / little to give a student to work on each week so that you are still excited and confident about what you are learning. You're in safe hands with Bryn!

Thanks Richard! Glad you are enjoying lessons with Tom and great to hear you are just settling into your second block. It's really cool to hear that Tom is approaching the guitar from every angle and even getting you learning how to get the best sound from the gear you use, that's amazing! Keep jamming away!

“I enjoy a lot my guitar lessons. First because I think that Jay is a very good teacher, second because he is a very good guitar player and I like the way he plays and third because he adapted very well the lessons to what I needed and the kind of music I wanted to play. Also the lessons are very well balanced in between exercices and music pieces.”

(Jay Ledger) - Posted 8 years ago

Yep, Jay is the man! We do have structured course material, but all of our tutors are hired because they can really bring the material to life for each individual student. It sounds as though Jay has managed exactly that for you! All the best.

“The teacher Kiall is excellent. Very personable, willing to listen to what my son is interested in and a lively, interesting teacher. Each week he brings something new and enjoyable for my son to practise to keep things fresh. Although has has not been teaching my son for very long yet,, I have every confidence that they will build a good, strong teacher-pupil relationship and that my son will make very good progress in a supportive and fun environment,”

Hi Emma, thanks for the review! Yes Kiall is an excellent teacher, and his creativity really helps in lessons with kids as he is able to tune into what will get them most excited so they make really good progress. I hope your son continues enjoying the lessons and grows into a great guitar player!

“Jay is great. My technique has improved because I am much more aware now and less clumsy. He also intuitively gets the level of input you need. I mean by this that he instinctively understands what you're interested in and teaches you how to do it better. Really nice guy too (I never say this about people). My biggest challenge. We started a new design and brand company 18 months ago and right now the hard work is paying off, clients are beginning to call us. As a consequence I can end up doing five days a week at meetings and being in my fifties I burn out. So Jay either sees me when I've burnt out and my fingers barely know there's a head up top giving them orders or I have to blow him out because, like today, a client decides that an hour this morning should extend to five hours without them going back to their office. One day I'l come to the lesson fresh and breezy and I'm convinced Jay will think someone else is standing in for me.”

Hi Stephen! Many thanks for the review. It's great to hear that you are persisting even though you are so busy! Keep it going as you will still be making progress, especially with Jay teaching you. Then when the day comes when you are fresh for the lessons you won't have to start from scratch again!

“Ryan has consistently offered support and encouragement. He is accepting of students' individual needs and time constraints. Despite my having significant time constraints, that result in being slow to progress through the courses, Ryan has encouraged me to learn and to gain ability and confidence.”

Hi Lynne, yes it hard it can be to find time to practice and play the guitar, but it's great to hear that Ryan is working around your schedule to formulate a plan of action and structure for your lessons. You're in great hands with Ryan, so keep trying to find that practice time!

“I've been having guitar lessons with Ollie now for a year now and feel I'm making great progress. I always look forward to my guitar lessons. Ollie is a calm and encouraging teacher who will guide you through the YGA course, but also teach other songs you want to learn along the way. Ollie is patient and will take the time to go over techniques again and again, and will teach at a pace that suits. Also, the BGA site is very useful, with all the lesson material quickly available to refer back to. Altogether it's a great way to learn. 5stars!”

Thanks Gawain! Great to hear that Ollie is tailoring the course to you by learning songs that you love to play. Thanks for the great review!

“With so many potential guitar tutors offering their services out of Brighton, I can honestly say that finding Ollie through ‘Your Guitar Academy’ was the best decision I ever made. Ollie is a genuine knowledgeable, down to earth guy who actively plays in various bands & his love of playing the guitar really comes through in his teaching. Ollie has a real fun approach to learning & a well-structured direction that will genuinely make you feel you are making progress in a short amount of time. If you are serious about learning to play the guitar, check out ‘Your Guitar Academy’ & get in touch with Ollie; there hasn’t been anything I’ve asked that Ollie hasn’t been able to answer, or play!”

“I had some guitar lesson vouchers for Christmas and after years of meaning to start learning, I finally got round to it! Tom is a fantastic teacher. He gets you playing songs really quickly so that you start really enjoying it! He is a top guy and really spells everything out for you making everything seem do-able. I cannot recommend highly enough!”

“I have been taking lessons with Bryn for the past 6 months and I can safely say that he is the man! I have had a dusty guitar sitting around the house for years but have never really thought I'd be any good or have any talent for it, so didn't bother trying. Last year I finally decided that I'd give it a try and I went to see Bryn for a trial lesson. I came out absolutely buzzing as I learnt how to play a little tune and a few chords in the first hour alone! From then on in it's been all progress and I'm now officially hooked for life! Thank you Bryn, I will continue to recommend you to anyone I know thinking of learning.”

“Dan Holton is an inspiring teacher and now he is using his experience to build a great online tuition site. I would highly recommend Dan's online guitar academy to any student of guitar and music. I have experienced different online sites but I believe Dan's to be a superior service I wish him every success in this venture.”

Always light, bright and upbeat Dan gently and skillfully guides you through all the highs and lows, joys and frustrations that learning guitar will bring. Armed with a wealth of knowledge and infinite patience he has the ability to tune in to exactly your level and adapt the lessons to meet your needs at the time, taking you forward at your pace, not his!”

Wow, thanks Owen! I will pass this extremely glowing review onto Dan and he'll be chuffed to bits as I know he really enjoys teaching you :)

“I took a few months of lessons with Dan in Brighton as an adult who had learned the basics years earlier and had struggled along with tabs from the internet never making any progress. Within a few weeks Dan had stamped out some bad/lazy habits that had developed and coached me into being able to figure out what key a song is played in and being able to improvise over backing tracks or full songs. I was very impressed with how Dan tailored everything he did to my background and my goals, rather than just putting me through any pre-made lesson plans. I'd highly recommend Dan as a guitar tutor to players of any age, ability and ambition level.”
