With 30 years playing and 15 years teaching experience I pride myself on helping develop guitarists who not only play songs/riffs/solos but also sound good doing so, with the skills and knowledge to play in bands/ensembles, perform live and continue to improve their own playing.

Rob is so good at listening to what you really want from your lessons and devising a structured (but flexible enough) route to lead you there. He's also a very insightful teacher who's clearly reflected a lot on the learning journey. He knows what exercises/rep will develop the technique you need to get you where you want to go. More...

Love having lessons with Rob! He is really patient, even when I don't practise, and makes lessons lots of fun. He's encouraging and I like the way lessons are structured to help drive progress. My technique is really getting there thanks to all his help! More...

As an older student new to the world of guitar Rob's teaching is excellent. I've had lessons with Rob for a couple of years now, and he really nails the core fundamentals/thinking early on.
Guitar isn't easy instrument to learn and Rob's ability to translate the more complex elements into digestible chunks is superb!
Rob is also focused on getting the best out of you as a student, providing various knowledgeable tips and guidance to improve your playing. Helping you take a self-learnt riff that sounds sloppy, out of time and disjointed, to something that sounds purposeful and flowing.

I cannot recommend Rob enough. I had previously been playing guitar for about a year and had informal lessons but wasn't really getting anywhere. Rob started at the very beginning, took the time to find out what music I listened to and encorporated it into the lessons. Rob is friendly, patient and encouraging without being pushy which really makes you want to practise and improve. Since having lessons with Rob my guitar playing, music reading and knowledge of music theory has improved significantly and I would recommend Rob to guitar players of all abilities. More...

I have been having lessons with Rob for a couple of years (most of which has been via video) and have made more progress in this time than 10+ years of playing before that. Rob’s method is meticulous, progressively challenging, and covers a good mix of technique, theory, songs and musicianship. As a teacher Rob is patient and is able to explain difficult concepts in simple terms, and has a passion for music and teaching which makes lessons enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rob, and particularly to anyone (like me) who was unsure of where to go next and wanted to get their enthusiasm for the guitar back. More...

I have been learning guitar with Rob for a couple of years now and have made a great deal of progress due to his help. Rob is a very patient and helpful teacher. His understanding of the individual level of you as a learner ensures every lesson feels meaningful and that you come away with a real sense of having made progress throughout each lesson and he is definitely very passionate about the teaching of guitar.

A really good guitar teacher who’s passionate and engaging, without being patronising. Breaks everything down really well. Really good with younger learners too. More...
Chris Ali
Rob and I share weekly guitar lessons together and my playing has improved immeasurably as a result. Patient, knowledgeable and technical, Rob is not satisfied with just teaching hackneyed riffs - he wants me to have a solid understanding or rhythm, theory and technique, all of which make me a more confident and capable player. He's busy but if you're lucky enough to agree a regular slot, you won't regret it. More...

I have been tutored by Rob for over a year now and have found his lessons to be structured, challenging and progressive. I have made great strides in my playing in the first year and I intend to continue on my guitar journey with Rob. He is a great tutor who explains everything clearly and breaks things down in a way that is understandable, which allows you to progress. Top class! More...

A Five Star Tutor
I have been having Guitar lessons from Rob for a few years now. In that time have found him to be a patient tutor who really cares about helping you to reach your goals.
I now play in two bands and have played the lowry 3 times with other musicans. None of which would have been possible without Robs help and support.

Rob is a brilliant guitar tutor!
His teaching is outstanding, structured and always carefully prepared. He is patient and meticulous but will have you rapidly playing guitar to any ability to which you aspire.
He can shape his teaching around all ages, levels and abilities and I speak from experience as he has taught both my 6 year old daughter and myself. He is now teaching my 14 year old teenage daughter. Rob will take you on a journey with his teaching and you learn so much more than just player technique and the technicalities of music theory. The true guitar players find their talent inside themselves and Rob will help you find this.
