If you want to excel as an artist, guitarist, I highly recommend Online Lessons in Guitar with David Rollins, because he is a super-genius guitarist with many years of experience performing, recording, and teaching. I am currently an online guitar student and I have been working with him for a couple of months now. I have online lessons once a week for an hour; I log into my account and the reception is fantastic. The professional sound quality of David’s home studio makes me feel like I am physically present in a recording studio. David has taught me how to listen to sound; how to understand theory behind music patterns, and how to play different techniques on the guitar. I am now on my way to creating my own songs on the guitar with theory I have learnt so far ... I find the lessons stimulating, interesting, and dynamic. David is passionate about music, articulate, thoughtful, and kind. He has an abundance of experience and knowledge from the music industry which he shares in class; often many things you would not find in a textbook. I feel each lesson is tailored to my progress, so no stone is left unturned. David is funny and extremely astute, super-bright, and firm. I am given homework to practice most weeks, which is monitored in the following class. I really enjoy my lessons with him and I feel very fortunate to have found him as my guitar teacher. And the beauty of having online guitar lessons is that you can be anywhere in the world to progress! More...

David teaches guitar in a way that made me understand immediately where I had been going wrong all my life.
Most importantly he teaches theory from the beginning, which is a great way to remember what you learn on the guitar.
After each lesson I can really feel that I am moving forward, something that has never happened with other teachers.
Thank you

Learning to play electric guitar was somewhat of a dream, but with David's expert tutoring and support I'm realising that dreams can come true! . I can't quite believe it but after just a few lessons I'm managing to play along with some of my favourite tracks. His talents are inspirational, his focus and patient manner in his teaching outstanding. Can't recommend him enough! - thanks David. More...

I have been playing guitar for far too long to still be at the level I am. Partly it's due to lack of practice on my part, however I also have lots of blanks in my knowledge. David is really great at identifying where those gaps are and helping me past them, and in a way that is relighting my enthusiasm for the instrument all over again.

David is particularly good at identifying key issues that have held me back and helping me overcome them. He's really flexible with lesson timings too which helps me fit playing into my work schedule.

Been playing guitar for a few years at an average/intermediate level. Had 6 lessons with Dave and have been blow away by the knowledge I have acquired. We have essentially gone back to basics with him teaching my guitar theory on chords and scales, which has proven to be essential knowledge for me to overcome the plateau I have been at for so long. Not only is his knowledge extensive, but he has a passion for guitar and music which is infectious and makes you excited and motivated to go back. I would recommend Dave for any level of guitar player. More...

Highly recommend. I have been having lessons with Dave for 2 yrs now and can honestly say my playing, and also my understanding of the guitar and music has come on leaps and bounds. A relaxed environment, Dave's patience and a wealth of musical knowledge, coupled with the fact that he is an awesome player has helped me progress no end. I would encourage anyone keen to start learning, or progress further with their playing, to give him a call.

David is a brilliant guitarist and a really nice bloke. He is teaching me the fundamentals and flexibility of the guitar so that I am able to create my own music, rather than just teaching me a few tunes. Having not played guitar for some 40 years, I'm finding a new passion for this instrument through David's tuition and encouragement. Thanks David. More...

After trying to teach myself and going to evening classes, nothing and no-one has inspired me more to pick up the guitar again and keep practicing like David has.

His patience and understanding is awesome. He tailors each lesson by my progress, he pushes just enough to challenge my playing which is great as I can see the improvement myself and this makes me want to practice more.

David plays all genres and I would higly recommend him for the beginner or expert requiring that edge.

Looking forward to the next lesson, thanks David.

I have been taking guitar lessons with David for 5 months now and since that time I feel my playing has substantially improved from before. He has taught me many different techniques and also has greatly helped in improving my understanding of music theory and has also helped with my growing interest in blues. David is very charismatic and very patient with teaching me, and will give me pointers throughout the lesson on techniques I should pick up on whilst playing, and old habits I should drop.As far as teaching goes David is an extremely talented guitar player and a very gifted teacher. His lessons are very flexible in terms of teaching you anything you are unsure about or anything you would like to increase your knowledge of; relating to music theory or just general guitar queries. He also excels in teaching you any song that you would like to learn; all by ear. this I found was very impressive and is a clear example of his experienced musicianship.Overall I find Davids lessons very enjoyably and overly helpful in helping me improve on my playing. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who would like to learn guitar or to anyone who would just like to improve on their playing. More...

Q&As

Knowing my skills as a teacher over the years has enabled thousands of students to either learn to play from scratch where previously they thought it was not possible or to see the students who could already play to some level rapidly advance their understanding and skills is rewarding beyond words.
Music is clearly important to so many of us and actually being able to help people fulfill their potential in this area is what I love the most about my job!.

It was the obvious path for me to take as I wanted to make my passion in life my work. I discovered I had a natural ability to teach from a fairly young age so I continued to teach on a daily basis and it has now been my full time occupation for nearly 30 years.

I have an immense amount of experience having taught for nearly 30 years. I never fail to get 5 star reviews and have had thousands of very satisfied customers. I am totally confident I can enable any student to achieve their goals on the guitar, no matter what level. I am relaxed and clear in my teaching approach with an ability to tailor the lessons perfectly to the individual. Please take a look at the scores of reviews across the web.
