Here what our students say

Rob O.

Ace Guitar Academy

“I loved the logical approach, the simplicity and the examples used to teach chords, strumming, licks, picking..It just made me a better guitarist and opened my mind to a whole musical universe”

Anthony S.D.

Blues Rhythm Guitar

“I learnt so much from this course! For me it not only gave me the basics but the confidence to try some of the tips and ‘tricks’ which work just great. I’d say this is a must if you want to be a confident and serious guitar player. On saying that it’s also great if you just want to play along with tracks or by yourself.”

Jorge G.

Blues Guitar Styles

“Very good course. I’m developing my blues phrasing above what I expected.”
