"Justin is one of those very rare teachers who makes learning something new and difficult seem easy and fun. His winning combination of patience, wit and (of course) talent, made each lesson a real pleasure even though I was a complete beginner. And I really appreciated the way he tailored the music he taught to what I liked to play. He's a natural and inspirational teacher!”
Jane Lunnon

“Justin is an inspiring teacher and helped me get to grips with many otherwise difficult musical concepts. I initially went for lessons to improve my playing and start gigging. He opened my eyes up to a range of styles I had not tried and helped me develop ones i had. I now have a covers band and am teaching beginners myself. I had lessons with Justin for over a year and he showed me so many tricks and styles that I am now a much more confidant player and as a result have decided to make music my profession. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
Jon Dedman

"Great guitarists don’t necessarily make great teachers but Justin is both and a great guy to boot!"
Wayne Galloway

"It was fantastic to meet a guitar teacher who understood very quickly exactly what I needed, where I wanted to improve, and who then showed me how to get there!"
Richard Warren

"An unpretentious, passionate teacher, who's committed to his students, and has the ability to simplify learning the guitar, making it fun, as well as easy."
Todor Ostojic

"Justin, a short note to thank you for the time and patience provided by you during my Beginners and Intermediate guitar lessons. I very much enjoyed the sessions, which I found to be balanced and evenly paced. I continue to play and improve my guitar knowledge and core skills and I have no doubt this is due to the foundation, enthusiasm and guidance provided by you"
Malcom McNally

"Justin's lessons were always challenging, benefiting, but most of all fun. After just a few lessons, I found that not only had my playing improved, but also my tone, due to his helpful tips and comments on my current set up. Anyone who wishes to make a living out of playing guitar needs to check out Justin's teaching masterclass. It contains information about so many things that you may not have thought about, and that meant I could give a sense of professionalism to my first students, even though I was just starting out. This ultimately led to me getting more students."
Dave Giles, full time guitarist and teacher

"Justin is approachable and listens to what the student wants to learn. He has a seemingly bottomless supply of techniques in every conceivable style of playing, so that everything from a series of lessons to a one-off booster is a mine of helpful information. Whether I want some help introducing variety into my acoustic rhythm playing, some performance coaching or some flashy rock licks, Justin has never failed to send me off with plenty of intriguing ideas and inspiration."
Diana de Cabarrus, 28, Musician (debut album 'like/unlike' out on Fence records)

"Brilliant tuition from a brilliant guitarist! Justin makes me practice within a very wide range of musical styles, and most importantly things that I love playing! I have only been taking lessons with him for a couple of months, but I wish I had found him sooner!!"
Jamie Harper, 17, Student

"I was impressed with how Justin wanted to understand what I was looking for so that he could make the lessons and homework specific to my objectives".
Paul Hargreaves .

"Even in a class full of people, learning with Justin was like having a friend showing you new ideas and cool inspiring stuff that makes you want to go home right away and practice it till you play it like him. He's patient and you feel that he WANTS you to get the lesson down. Even after my time at the institute we've been in contact through email, and answered any questions I gave me good advice. Justin's a really cool guy, cheers man!"
Salem Yateem, 22, Struggling musician

“Although piano is my first instrument, I've tried several times to make some significant progress with learning guitar but have always failed, either because my fingers got sore or I simply wasn't inspired enough to make the effort. After two weeks with Justin, my fingers had strengthened and I was playing scales! Most of all, I enjoyed practicing, nailing something that at the beginning of the week had felt impossible, and looked forward to coming back for more. The benefits from Justin's teaching go beyond just musical development - it's great to feel good about oneself.”
