Amazing teacher. Currently, a family member (9 years old) attends weekly face-to-face sessions. Has seen greater gains compared to online classes. Would highly recommend!

Ron is a great teacher he will challenge you and push you to the next level, and has different classes depending on you so you get the best of the tution. He has alot of patience, and no matter the question will do his best to try and show you various ways or explanations for different methods. As an adult beginner at nearly 40 (very nervous beforehand about starting) I have come on alot since the past few months in rons classes. I would definitely recommend you speak to Ron to get started in your journey. 10/10 More...

I have been taking lessons with Ron for a couple of months after spending years fumbling along with self taught practise. The amount of knowledge gained and progress I have made in the last 2 months is amazing, I feel like I am finally understanding the guitar . I’d highly recommend to anyone starting out or like me, who has played for years with no real depth or just want to see some progress in their playing. Truly game changing! Thanks Ron! More...

A few weeks into lessons with Ron, and I am absolutely loving every minute - really patient, explains everything well, and lessons are structured in a fun and engaging way. Myself and my teen stepdaughter are part of a little group session, and despite the different experience levels in the group, Ron deals really well with balancing everyone's needs. Stacks of learning materials are made available, too! More...

nearing 70 and not ready for bingo or bowls thought I`d give learning the guitar a go - never even held a guitar before, advised that Ron was a first class tutor - three months later, thanks to well structured lessons (extremely competitive rates) with support and praise - even when things are going wrong, shown how to rectify, no information overload and what to work on between lessons Ron has helped me on the journey along the well walked road by Springsteen (76) Richards (82) Young (Neil 80) and Young (Angus 70) - even one step is more than I thought was possible, don`t leave it to the kids

My 10 year old started with Ron late last year. He’s progressed so quickly. Ron provides a supportive environment to learn. He is extremely patient and makes the lessons fun. A highlight for us was being able to watch all the pupils perform in the annual recital. I would highly recommend Ron to anyone considering learning to play guitar. More...

After taking lessons with Ron you’ll not only gain a mentor capable of teaching you anything you desire on the fretboard in the most efficient way possible, but also a friend, if you’re local or in fife you couldn't be luckier to have Ron as an option for a tutor, highly recommend.

Ron has been teaching our teen the bass guitar since autumn (half a year). My teen (who is very shy) finds Ron approachable and friendly. He is clearly enthusiastic about music, teaching and performing which is always inspiring in an instructor. He has listened to her and responded by making sure she has lessons on music she enjoys. On the paperwork side of things: initial communication and website information was clear and helpful; ongoing email communications are excellent (fantastic, actually); pricing structure is well-explained and clear; automated payment procedure is clear and simple; classes are punctual and any changes are communicated clearly. Ron has a good set-up to allow online access to lesson music and tutorials which takes into account the safeguarding issues of children having online accounts and/or email. As a parent, I am pleased with my teen's progress and I am happy with Ron as an instructor. More...

I've been taking beginner lessons with Ron since January in a small group of 3 or 4 at most. Ron gives structured but casual lessons taking you gradually through strumming, finger style, cords and reading music sheets. Ron's experience and patience has given me a basic understanding and the confidence to learn and progress with playing an acoustic guitar. I'd recommend any beginner (and experienced) to go along.

I’ve been taking lessons from Ron since early January 2025. Although I had previously taught myself as a kid, what I could play was extremely limited and as my sister would say “she copied somebody else’s fingers” being unable to read music ! ! I’m chuffed to bits and so proud at what I’ve achieved to date. I can now read tab music, got rid of one or two bad habits I’ve picked up over the years and learned at least 12 new chords, my limit was G,C, D and A before !! I am learning new things at each lesson and with practice it is all fitting into place. I’m so excited to see how far I can progress and look forward each week to my lesson. More...

I started my daughter with Ron in the summer and couldn’t be more pleased with the progress she has made in a short space of time. His calm and professional teaching style is developing her into a skilled lead guitarist. She has had confidence problems playing in front of others and issues with timing which have greatly improved and she is now working towards a qualification in guitar and bass. Ron also has a huge amount of resources online to supplement student learning. My only regret is not starting lessons sooner. More...

I've had a Yamaha RBX 460 bass guitar for many many years and always promised myself that, one day, I'll learn to play it. ....I got a couple of books, checked out YouTube and online bass tuition sites and basically copied some lines by tab. I did a Google search for tutors locally and Ron's classes popped up. I chose one to one tuition cos I like to ask questions and also like the instant feedback. Three lessons in and what a difference already! Now my practice is focused on technique and identifying the notes on the fretboard and this adds a new dimension. Don't let my photo fool you, I may be chronologically in my late 60's but, inside I'm still a 19 year old klutz! Ron's patient and encouraging teaching style has given me new found confidence that I will, indeed, be able to rock the bass sooner than I'd thought possible. 👍 More...

Q&As

The "show me how you have got on" part at the beginning of each session. Hearing the improvement from the students when they play and show off their improvement is fantastic

My love of the Guitar, I wanted to help so many others experience the joy of playing an instrument. It is not about just learning for yourself, it is about being able to sit and get lost in your own music, playing in front of friends and family in a small gathering, or going out and playing to an audience and watching them dance, sing along with you.

I don't just Teach Guitar, I do far more. The student learns what is required to play, learns how to practise and use this information. They are coached on how to look at their own playing and work out what is holding them back and eliminate this from their playing. They are mentored on how to develop into a fully accomplished musician. This knowledge is transferrable into other aspects of their life and supports them on becoming successful people outwith playing the guitar
