Guitar Teacher Ottershaw

★★★★★

“I’m an intermediate rock/blues guitar player who was looking for some tailored tuition to help me improve my overall playing ability and iron out some of my weaknesses. I’ve had a number of tutors on and off over the years and one thing I’ve found most important is that the tutor is someone you get on with and who understands your needs and is prepared to adapt their lessons to get the best out of you. Joe meets this criteria and has structured our weekly lessons accordingly. His style is very supportive and encouraging while still making sure I’m playing (or at least approaching) things properly and is always happy to share his pro tips to help me improve.”

“Joe is a great teacher – patient, encouraging, with a friendly and approachable style. He teaches two of my children and my 11 year old is already working towards her grade 4. Joe has the right balance of making the lessons fun and enjoyable, and also encouraging his pupils to work at their technical skills, and as a result, my kids have come on hugely in the year he’s been teaching them. Highly recommended!”

“Joe is a patient and highly talented guitar teacher. He has been teaching my son for over a year and the progress we have seen has been incredible. Not only is he sincerely a very talented educator he brings out the best in our timid son and engages him throughout the lesson. Can’t recommend enough.”

“Joe has been teaching Louis for just over five years now. His enthusiasm and patience at every lesson has encouraged Louis to believe in himself and to appreciate and understand many genres of music. Joe really has a great sense of humour and at the same time has a very professional manner. He manages to tailor make his lessons around his students and his extended knowledge of music theory has enabled Louis to study for music exams at GCSE’s and A level standard. I really would highly recommend Joe for beginners and advanced levels for acoustic and electric guitar lessons”

“Joe has now taught my 16 year old son electric guitar for about 3 years. He has successfully taught him through grade 1 to grade 5 Rock School. Not only does Joe focus on grading but also gives insight into all aspects of playing guitar such as music theory and all skills to become a better guitarist. Joe’s method of teaching has kept my son engaged, so much so that he has decided to study guitar performance at ACM. I would highly recommend Joe as he is very professional, friendly and patient. He has a great rapport with my son and continues to help him develop his guitar skills.”

“Harry loves his guitar lessons and really looks forward to them each week. Joe always supports Harry’s interests, and teaches him the things he wants to learn. Harry has made incredible progress since beginning his lessons with Joe and is so keen that he has a guitar round his neck and a pick in his hand most of the time! Joe is so knowledgeable about everything related to rock music and is able to answer anything Harry asks him”

“I have taken up the guitar at the age of 37 and if Im honest I had my doubts as to whether or not I would take to it. However, under Joes careful eye I feel I have progressed really quickly. I now struggle to put the guitar down. Joe is as amiable as he is knowledgable. Joe adds a lot of variety to his lessons which keeps me very interested. Top bloke, highly recommend!”
