Getting an appropriate guitar teacher while staying in John was not simple, until I met Bradley. He taught me the subtleties of expressive playing, from subtle tone manipulation to achieving timing. Under his guidance, I confidently posted my first guitar cover video, something I previously thought was beyond my reach.

It was intimidating to study bass guitar at forty, but John starting classes at Killearn Estates made the process enjoyable, well-organised, and fulfilling at every turn.

If you're an Elderly person and looking for guitar lessons In Twelve Oaks then John is an excellent fit! I hadn’t played in decades, but now I’m back into acoustic folk and loving it. He’s patient and adapts to your pace, which made all the difference for me. I feel more connected to music now than I ever did before!
