“Dave introduced me to so many different styles of music and taught me all the basics I needed to be a great guitar player. He made learning the guitar fun.” Tom Harrison (lead guitarist of The Hype Theory / Tigress)
“I had lessons with Dave for 6 years. I found the lessons great fun and learnt a huge variety of skills I still use to this day. Dave has always been friendly/helpful during and after my lessons regarding technical issues and general advice. I now play in a rock band who have toured all over UK with successful US bands.”
Rob Taylor (lead guitarist of LYU / Holygood)
“Dave’s an adaptable teacher who moulded each lesson around what I wanted to learn, whilst sneaking in a strong base of theory and humour, both essential for any musician.”
