If you are looking for a guitar teacher then Jay is the best. He has over 40 years experience in composing and performing all genres of music. Jay will plan your lessons around your own tastes and level of expertise whether you are a beginner or have been playing for awhile and need more motivation and guidance. Lessons are always fun. Jay is friendly and patient and very generous with his time. He can play any style from Bach to Hendrix and his theory knowledge is second to none. Highly recommended. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. ★★★★★

Jay is simply the best guitar teacher you’re likely to encounter in this life as well as being a wonderful human being.
I went to him hoping to learn a few licks to add to my repertoire and have ended up discovering the wonders of music theory.
He is a brilliant musician and an all round inspiration.
Don’t hesitate!

Could not recommend Jay highly enough as a tutor. I was about to give up trying to play until I found Jay. His knowledge of music is second to none and he can play any style. But most of all he gives you confidence that you can play. Cannot recommend this man enough ★★★★★

Jay is a great guitar player who also understands how to teach. His passion for music and helping people, combine to make his lessons enjoyable and memorable. Prepared to move at the students pace rather than to some prescribed schedule, his lessons have worked to improve my guitar playing significantly, but have also improved my appreciation for music. Jay will teach you the songs you want to learn but perhaps more importantly the the theory that has helped create them. A talented, humorous and thoroughly decent bloke and guitar sensei extraordinaire! ★★★★★

Jay is excellent. Lessons are totally around your musical interests and he is both encouraging and patient. I am one of those people who has tried and given up too many times before and all I really wanted to do was just be able to strum a few chords.....but after learning with Jay I now want to finger pick too ....that’s how good he is! ★★★★★

I’m a recently retired female and been having weekly lessons with Jay for over a year now as I wanted sing and write my own songs. I’ve never played an instrument before and couldn’t read music so I had some way to go! I was also a tad reticent and bit shy but Jay patience, encouragement and enthusiasm soon brought me out of my shell and comfort zone....I wrote my first song last month and am chuffed that I have a new hobby and skill. It’s relaxing and absorbing....I love it and can’t rate Jay high enough. He is professional but caring so you get a real sense of improvement week on week. Throughly recommend him. ★★★★★

I love my guitar lessons I have had with Jay my guitar playing had improved since I started as a complete novice Jay makes learning fun, and is always happy to explain things and break it down so I understand,. I have a disability that makes remembering things very difficult for me. I would definitely recommend him as teacher. ★★★★★

Enjoyed my fifth lesson today, Jay has taken me from just about knowing which way round to hold the instrument to beginning to play tunes. His teaching style is relaxed and he creates a fantastic learning environment . I always come away having learned something knew with a clear understanding and a drive to practice. Above all I look forward to my guitar lesson and I enjoy it. ★★★★★

The best guitar teacher you are likely to encounter in this world. A man who’s paid his guitar dues for over 40 years and is a virtuoso player; and he’s as familiar with Bach and Mahler as he is with Hendrix or Nirvana. ★★★★★
