I'm really pleased with Eric as my tutor. His lessons are well structured, informative and enjoyable. We've covered a lot of ground from posture, how to look after finger nails, left and right hand positions on the guitar to music theory and how to relax when playing. I was keen to develop my knowledge of music theory and Eric has taken me through the beginnings at a manageable and clear way. Over the lessons we've worked towards playing different pieces from written music: solo and duets. These he broke down into stages building up to complete pieces. A great sense of achievement. Eric is very patient as a tutor. He always replies to my text messages regarding our lessons and the pieces of music we are working towards. He sends through written music and his own recordings for me to play along to. And he sets homework! I will continue with him.

Eric and I ran a guitar group for teens with another chap for a several months back in 2021. He was awesome with both absolute beginners an those a little bit more danced. His wife has also played locally in Churc for a few years.

I know Eric through his role as principal of the guitars in Edinburgh Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra. I consider him to be a brilliant colleague. He is very patient and enthusiastic, and has proven to be an encouraging mentor to players with a broad range of ages and experience. I would highly recommend his approach to playing and teaching.
