"Gus has really helped me move forward with my learning. He is very calm and patient which is so important to me as I get quite nervous about playing. I was surprised at how much I've been able to learn in a short time, both practical and theory. Gus has a great way of teaching that really helps me to understand information that I found difficult to understand from previous tutors. Highly recommend."

"Gus made some complicated principles very easy to understand and gave me a useful framework for improvising over the top of chords which I’ve always found difficult. Calm, friendly and an absolute guitar maestro"

Gus is a very patient teacher for my son and is great at varying the lessons so they're enjoyable. He's broken things down so they're acheiveable, and taken into account the very fixed type of music my son wants to play and learn. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
