I fully appreciate his music teaching style since the learning is serious with good progress. Covers fundamentals of the instrument, knowing your way round the fretboard, and ear training development.

Great guitar tutor who offers one-to-one private tuition. In the lessons expect to learn a lot about music from the fundamentals and basics all the way to specialisation and mastery. Good for anyone looking to get into a solid learning routine! More...

Kelsey
Good lessons and very polite.
Had some good lessons with him and very patient when it comes to teaching. I am a slow learner and Bryan had taken the time to tailor some lessons for me, and focusing on my weaknesses.
I really enjoyed having classes with him and very knowledgeable especially with the guitar! :)

I have been studying with Bryan for 2 years, learning classic rock and hard rock songs. The lessons are structured and planned - the setting of goals meant that we both work towards something rather than going around broad topics again and again. Definitely recommend!
