About the Tutor:

'Playing and learning the guitar has been a long and enjoyable ride throughout my life. From practicing in my bedroom to playing in a band in front of family and friends in garages and back yard parties to performing at various live venues.

I have found the guitar to be a great source of relaxation and learning the guitar has been one of my proudest achievements. As an experienced player and tutor and I have managed to pass on my skills to many students, family, friends and my own children.

The lessons are held in a patient and supportive environment, and I appreciate that every student as an individual has their own learning abilities and needs. My enthusiasm and caring nature will create a relaxed and enjoyable guitar learning experience that will ensure results.

The musical skills developed now will be a companion for life.' David
