Joe is an absolutely fantastic teacher and I would recommend him to anyone. I have and continue to learn an enormous amount from him. He is extremely patient and provides expert guidance to me on my guitar learning and development.
I can highly recommend Joe as a guitar teacher! After enquiring about my skill level and goals, his lessons were always tailored to my interests. He was always helpful and explained things to me in a way so I could easily understand and implement them. I also found it helpful that he sent me a comprehensive summary of every lesson, which made it much easier to practise what he taught me at home. Apart from that he is also a very nice guy and made all lessons a super positive environment.
Instrument: Guitar Skill Level: Beginner Music Genre: Metal Joe has been a fantastic teacher throughout our sessions together, conducting friendly, relaxed, student lead lessons which focus on the music style and bands you are interested in and the skills you wish to develop. Right from the first session Joe was inquisitive about the reasons for beginning tuition and tailored the structure of the sessions around meeting those aims. Examples include finding suitable beginner technical exercises by going through a processes of guided 'songwriting' to allow for the creative skills to be developed right from the start alongside technical competence, or through practicing critical listening to discern new techniques by going through the music you've recently been listening to. Each lesson is followed up with an email containing notes from your session so that you can focus on learning, not remembering, and his pricing is very reasonable. I 100% recommend Joe as a teacher!
Joe has been helping me for a few weeks now. We do it remotely at a time that is convenient for me. I have tried other teachers and other tools such as Yousician, but they only got me so far. Joe has helped me to correct a lot of bad habits that I have picked up over the years, and always has another "you could also" He is working at my admittedly slow pace, with incredible patience. I am a fan of heavy music, which Joe completely understands so I am finding the lessons focused on what I like. Thoroughly recommended
I’ve been having lessons with Joe for around 7 weeks. Joe’s lessons are amazing, he works with me on songs that I enjoy and helps me to learn key techniques that I will be able to reapply to other songs. After each lesson Joe sends a lesson summary which contains everything we went through in the previous lesson and things that I can work on throughout the week ready for the next lesson. He is always reassuring and kind, and makes helpful suggestions on how to improve. Overall, I would definitely recommend Joe to anyone who wants to learn how to play guitar :)
