I am six, and David is a great teacher and I really enjoy learning how to play. I have learned Disney and rock songs and it’s great fun.

First lesson very good and good information.
Reply from David Guys Music Lessons (Sax, Guitar and Music Theory)
Thank you Paul. Maybe you can revisit after 2 or 3 lessons so it's not just based on 1st impression? That's why I don't usually ask for a review until 3rd lesson+

These lessons have become one of the highlights of my week! David is such a lovely guy to work with, and I am progressing a lot quicker than I was previously. He's great and teaching the theory as well as the practical, I would really recommed lessons with him! More...
Reply from David Guys Music Lessons (Sax, Guitar and Music Theory)
Sophy, thank you so much! It is such a pleasure to teach someone as willing to learn as you. You are whizzing along!

David is an excellent guitar teacher with experience. He makes the lessons so enjoyable yet you learn so much about guitar and music theory in each lesson.
What I find very useful is that he explains the theory behind the pieces he teaches which I think is very important for the building blocks of the musical journey to becoming a good guitarist. David communicates very well with his students, listens to them play and gives instant advice for improvement. Lastly, he is also quite flexible when it comes to when and at what time the lesson may take place. Virtual lessons have also been really great and beneficial.
I strongly recommend taking guitar lessons with David Guy.

We’ve been doing Zoom classes. He is very patient with new students and is very knowledgable. My 11 year old said, “I’ve really learned a lot.”
I recommend him highly.
Reply from David Guys Music Lessons (Sax, Guitar and Music Theory)
Thank you very much Frank. It's good to see your son making some nice progress!
Sophie
I’ve had one lesson with David and he helped me understand some basics of playing the guitar and some good tips to start me on my journey.

Leanne Warren

First lesson today via zoom, was amazing he is very friendly and I can’t wait to continue to learn from David. Thank you so much.
Reply from David Guys Music Lessons (Sax, Guitar and Music Theory)
Leanne, thank you so much for that. I am so glad you chose that KT Tunstall Track - I really enjoyed going over that with you and it's inspired me to play it!
Dawn Munro
Guitar Lessons
David is very friendly and helpful, he explains things very well and asks what songs you would like to learn to play. I cant wait for my next lesson. Thank you David 😊
Reply from David Guys Music Lessons (Sax, Guitar and Music Theory)
Dawn. Thank you so much! I love your bubbly enthusiasm to learn!
Luke
Only had one lesson with David, very good but did think that we jumped into quite a difficult song for a beginner to quick. Maybe could have gone through the scales and chords first for more understanding. But otherwise very good More...
Reply from David Guys Music Lessons (Sax, Guitar and Music Theory)
Thanks Luke. Sorry if you thought that it was quite difficult! Though I suspect someone has influenced your thinking. As you are a Grade 7 musician (albeit at a different instrument), and really liked Metallica, the extract from When the Wild wind blows that we did was specially chosen for and known to you, and in fact as simple as could be hoped for (just 3 notes over 2 strings). Frankly, it was easier than doing a scale which is 8 notes over 4 strings. So I find the comment a little baffling..... ...but thanks for your kind words :-).

Reply from David Guys Music Lessons (Sax, Guitar and Music Theory)

Thank you so much Jo.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing the the look of happiness in students' faces when they are able to do something new that I've been able to teach them from knowledge gained over many years.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I get to be my own boss, choose my customers and choose my lifestyle.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have over 30 years of knowledge in learning the guitar from many different aspects: Chords, Lead Riffs, Finger picking, Pentatonics, Playing along with well known songs, Rhythm, Music Theory etc.
However, the fact that I'm not a professional musician, means I can empathise much more easily with the beginner or improver.
I'm also very flexible and will tune lessons to your desires.
