John did two recordings for our folk duo. He was very patient, paid excellent attention to detail and we're really pleased with how they turned out.
Thank you so much!

Having been a former student of the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in London, and having moved to the area I was very fortunate to come across John. He met the same standards as the tutors I was used to and it was a natural progression to be taught by him. Not only does he have an in-depth knowledge on technique and theory but his overall affable style of teaching improved my playing considerably AND boosted my confidence to feel I could achieve more. He is very accommodating. It feels nothing is too much trouble for him. All genres are catered for, jazz, scales, modes, sweep picking, arpeggios, fx, whammy bar, legato, rhythmic displacement, metal, etc. The nicest chap you could possibly meet! Raise your game, meet John! More...

I have been taking guitar lessons with John now for 18 months; I had previously received Kayaking lessons with John and have therefore known him personally and professionally for 10 years. I have always found him to be very patient and focused on helping me to develop each stage and thus create a bespoke course for my individual needs. Often our lessons would run into overtime and he would continue without hesitation and no extra charge.He is always well prepared in advance before each lesson, polite, friendly and incredibly supportive. You can tell he has such great passion for the guitar and with so much experience, it really shows in his enthusiasm and the encouragement he always gives.He is also very flexible, if I need to cancel a lesson at short notice, he is happy to change dates with no extra charge.I would therefore recommend John 100%, if you want a honest, reliable and incredibly supportive teacher who offers a very clean, comfortable, non smoking and relaxed environment to learn in.

My son William has been having electric guitar lessons with John for several years and recently gained a grade 5 merit at his grading. He's always made lessons fun and his obvious love of guitar music and teaching is both inspirational and infectious. The routine of learning is broken up with sessions on recording music, guitar maintenance and discussions of everything and anything guitar related. Everything you want, thoroughly recommend him.

I signed up with John after many years with various guitar tutors, having struggled to make a really impact on my guitar playing. John at Medusa Music provided me with a very structured approach (around my personal goals) with very flexible timing, which suited my hectic work schedule. Johns knowledge, experience and friendly teaching style is second to none. He has an inane ability to break down complex music theory into simple/digestible chunks whilst also ensuring you are motivated to exceed your personal goals.If you are looking for a guitar tutor who can engage and motivate you to improve and excel your guitar playing. I'd recommend John Parker as one of the best guitar tutors around! More...
