Testimonials

“James is a great teacher, in the 10 months I was his student I truly learned a lot. He is very patient and really helps you achieve the targets you set yourself, but he doesn’t overwhelm you with stuff, first you get to know the basics and then step by step he builds up on that, and after some time you will definitely realise that you are a much better guitarist now then some months ago. If I didn’t move  back to Germany, James would still be my tutor!” Franz Korn

“I have had a guitar for years. I was never able to make heads nor tails of the thing, until I met James. After just one lesson my understanding of the instrument had improved by such a magnitude that I went straight out and bought a new one and started taking 3 hours of lessons a week. Six months later I am already thinking about taking a Grade 2 exam and can hardly put my guitar down. James has rekindled my love for music and by extension, my partner’s love for it too.” Joel Watson

“When I heard James play in 2008, I invited him to join the Sussex Jazz Orchestra as its guitarist.  Without a regular reliable keyboard player, James has proved to be essential in maintaining the rhythm section.  Although one of the youngest members of the band, his playing shows great maturity.” Patrick Billingham, Manager of The Sussex Jazz Orchestra

"Thanks James for doing a great job covering for me in Highway Child. All the shows went really well and I’ve have had great feedback from your performances. As well as your performance level it was also noticeable how professionally you acted and your willingness to take on new songs at such short notice. Thanks again for stepping in and I would definitely recommend you to anyone else needing a dep or session guitarist. All the best dude." Craig Went, Highway Child
