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.

It’s easy to find someone who’ll show you where to place your fingers. It’s rare to find someone like Simon , who teaches you how to make your playing come alive.
