"I had barely held a guitar before I met Marty. I haven't been a student of his for long, but I can already play chords that I had never heard of before and play a few songs. He explains things clearly. He truly is a great teacher. I find him very complimentary and enthusiastic, which really helps me. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning the guitar. You won't regret it!"

"I have been having lessons with Marty for over a year now, and I look forward to my weekly lessons. Marty is incredibly patient and he will spend time on allowing you to get it right, even if it means going over points in a range of different ways. I sometimes find it difficult to practice as much as I would like and Marty understands in this respect too. Lessons are informal and relaxed, and he uses a range of teaching materials. I have had guitar lessons before, but have struggled, with both tutor and material. No such problems here; I have covered so much ground. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Marty to anyone wishing to learn the guitar, in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere."

"I really look forward to my weekly guitar lesson. I started taking lessons with Marty at the start of 2011. I have now progressed onto an electric guitar after a few months on acoustic. Marty makes the lessons interesting and enjoyable. I find him to be very patient and tolerant of my 'ups and downs'. I can really recommend Marty as a tutor. He gives me great tuition and interesting insights into the music business as a band member. His great guitar demos inspire me to keep practising!"

"Marty is a great guitar teacher, he sets a pace of learning that fits in well with me. He offers a good mix between learning songs and incorporating theory, and his Email handouts are well structured and great to refer to later on."

"Learning to play the guitar had been a life long ambition of mine. With Marty's help, I feel I am well on the way. His relaxed teaching style, patience, practical ability and theoretical knowledge make learning a pleasurable experience. Marty is testimony that you can, in fact 'teach an old dog new tricks' and I would have no hesitation in recommending him regardless of your age or ability."

"I was teaching myself acoustic guitar for about eight months, then I hit a brick wall. I found Marty through this web site; the hourly tuition fees were more than reasonable for 2011! Marty is the most patient and methodical tutor I have ever had. He is always interested and enthusiastic and this is an inspiration to me. I've been attending for a few months now, my guitar playing and musical understanding has advanced at a great pace, at my pace. I look forward to each and every lesson as I know each one will have a positive effect on my musical and practical knowledge."

"I went to Marty as a complete beginner and I was immediately made to feel at ease by his friendly and patient manner. He is very knowledgeable and encourages you to learn at a pace that you feel comfortable with. It is obvious that Marty loves playing the guitar. His enthusiasm is infectious! This makes guitar lessons with Marty very enjoyable, and I am certain that I would not have progressed to the level that I have without Marty's tuition."

"If you're looking for a guitar tutor whom will help you to improve at your own pace in a simplified and progressive manner look no further! Marty is patient and diligent in his technique, offering his students the opportunity to progress in a learning environment which suits their pace and individual musical taste, making simple work of scales and music theory is his speciality!  Regards Jim"
