Phil Gardiner Guitar Tuition

Ive been taking lessons every week with Phil for over two years; I wish I had started taking lessons with him sooner. I started taking lessons because I wanted to not only learn how to play guitar but also how to make music. To learn to improvise and understand the theory behind it. Not just play sheet music. Phil has gone above and beyond. He has helped me find a great guitar. He has given me a range of exercises every week according to my music preferences. He has given me guidance on how to improve my technique and has taken the time to repeatedly explain challenging aspects of music theory. My playing has seen huge improvements since taking lessons with Phil and I certainly intend to keep taking them. I am very happy with his lessons and I highly recommend him!

I've been coming for lessons with Phil for a few months now and can safely say my playing has come on leaps and bounds. Phil pays attention to detail to improve your technical ability whilst building on your theoretical knowledge. He has a wealth of experience and importantly, he is a patient all round nice guy! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve and learn guitar fast.

Phil has been teaching me for the past few months. I wanted a teacher that would teach me to understand the instrument and the makeup of music, I didn't want to come along every week and learn a song, my aim is blues improvisation. Phil has delivered on that and so much more. With Phil, you will get rounded theoretical and practical tuition. Phil has a passion for playing guitar and seems genuinely invested in my playing as he wants to share the joy that playing music can bring. He is very knowledgable when it comes to gear too, he helped my to find the perfect guitar (PRS 24 SE) which he has setup so it plays as smooth as silk. On a technical note, Phil is very well equipped with online lessons with a good internet connection and good quality video and sound. Phil's virtual lessons are the closest you will possibly get to physical lessons.

Just what I was looking for someone who wants to teach me to play what I want to play. Phil loves to play and that comes out in the lesson, he makes it interesting, relaxing and has some great techniques he has perfected to help you learn quicker. So if your prepared to practice and listen then you wont go wrong sharing your time with Phil. Ive been having lessons with Phil for just over a month and it was the best decision Ive made in along time.

My daughter, Cerys, has had lessons with Phil for two and half years. She initially just wanted to add another instrument to her repertoire. However, Phil's great teaching style has enthused Cerys to make the guitar her main instrument. His lessons are tailored to the requirement and ability of his Pupil, and he ensures that each and every lesson is made as interesting as is absolutely possible. Phil teaches with total enthusiasm, he is extremely engaging, very approachable and full of encouragement. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a guitar teacher!!!!
