The Guitar Room - Professional Guitar lessons Tunbridge Wells

I took up playing the guitar as a hobby just after I turned 40. I had some casual lessons with a friend who plays very well. I bought many instructional dvds. I subscribed to several online courses and websites with literally thousands of lessons. Over the following 6 years I spent countless hours playing and sifting through this mass of media trying to decide how and what to practice. Then, after a night of inspirational music at a gig in London, I decided to invest in some one-to-one lessons with a professional teacher. I met Steve Dodds 5 months ago and, after a mind-bending introduction lesson, I have seen him every week since. It was immediately apparent that, in spite all my previous efforts, I actually had no idea how to really play a guitar, or how music actually works. Now, 5 months and only 20 lessons later, I have learned far more than the last 6 years combined. Steve is a lovely guy and an excellent teacher. He is patient, funny and a Master of his craft. Steve is managing to pull all the disparate threads of my existing knowledge together and add in missing pieces until I finally begin to understand how this wonderful instrument works. Trust me, it has been a revelation! And weve only just started! I commend Steve Dodds most highly and recommend him to you without hesitation. Sincerely Dr Mark Green

Steve is an excellent teacher. In just three months he helped me go from never having touched a guitar before, to playing my girlfriend and Is song in front. He was kind , and was excellent at getting me wheres I needed to go. I would highly recommend him if youre looking for a teacher, I wouldnt have been able to do it without him.

Steve is a great guy and guitar teacher - patient (which I need), is always happy to go in whatever direction and at whatever pace I want with my learning, and able to articulate underlying theory in an understandable way. We have covered loads of ground across technique, theory, chord structures, styles, dynamics and songs. Lessons are scheduled when they suit me. Highly recommended.
