Tom is a great guitar teacher. He made my lessons personalised around the songs I wanted to learn and it has been really enjoyable learning guitar. Tom will answer all my questions I throw at him and explain them in a way that's understable as a learner. He also sends video recaps of lessons so i can learn with ease at home and provides personal feedback after lessons. You can tell he's very passionate about guitar and carries alot of positive energy about him. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to start as a total beginner like I was.

I initially chose Tom for lessons from the good vibes of his profile, along with a convenient location for me and the “Neurodiverse legends welcome” in his description. I started with him as an intermediate level player, I felt I’d reached a limit on self teaching and was struggling with direction on where to go next with guitar playing. I’ve been having lessons with Tom every fortnight now since around October 2024 and I’ve been really enjoying these lessons and my guitar playing has improved significantly. With Tom I really appreciate: - attention to detail of guitar technique, making sure we’re learning and playing things the best way from the start - Learning the songs that I want to be able to play - Breaking songs down by each note and phase and gradually building up each section of the song - The videos recapping a lesson are so useful to refer back to, along with notes in a word document of what was covered - Tom’s enthusiasm for all things music, whether that’s playing live, guitars and equipment etc. - Tom also took the time outside of lessons to do a complete setup of my new guitar and apply a vinyl stripe I’d highly recommend Tom to anyone for lessons, regardless of experience level

I’ve been playing guitar for around 20 years, but like many musicians, I hit the dreaded intermediate plateau and struggled to move past it alone. Deciding to take lessons was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I’m so glad I found Tom. After just five lessons, I’ve seen incredible progress, and my practice routine is more effective and rewarding than ever before. Tom has a unique ability to tailor and adapt each lesson to my goals, interests, and skill level. He took the time during our first session to truly understand my playing history, challenges, and aspirations. His structured yet flexible approach keeps things focused while allowing room for creativity and fun. What sets Tom apart is his ability to break down complex techniques and concepts into manageable, bite-sized pieces that actually stick. He’s not only a talented guitarist but also an outstanding teacher who knows how to communicate effectively (unsurprising given his background as a doctor), and genuinely just a great guy to chat to! His passion for music and teaching is evident in every session, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Whether we’re working on rhythm, lead, or theory, every lesson feels like a step forward. I also love the thoughtful extras he provides, like detailed session notes and recap videos, which make practice between lessons so much easier. It's been abundantly clear from the start that Tom is 100% invested in his clients and genuinely takes pride in seeing them progress along their journey as a musician.
