My son’s progress really took off after starting sessions with Simon in Winston-Salem. He’s now strumming favorite tunes and experimenting with new sounds all on his own.

I appreciated how accessible and effective Simon acoustic guitar lessons were. I hail from Sandpiper Bay and Simon encouraged me to focus on performing origial compositions at open mic, which indeed encouraged me a lot and gave me confidence. Best tutor ever.

After a 20year break from guitar I returned to playing and found it both rewarding and nostalgic in West Mess. With Simon ’s help I improved my rhythm and got my palm muting technique in punk rock back on track.

Simon gave me great support while I was preparing for my RGT Grade 3 exam. Through helpful exercises in scales, sight reading, and ear training, I was able to pass with merit. This all took place in the city of Southpoint.
