Tom Williams (MA) Guitar Lessons Guildford

Tom has really helped me make progress in guitar. He covers all aspects of theory and playing - using my own ideas for pieces I would like to learn as well as those he thinks will show my developing ability. He is always very supportive during lessons and provides me with the materials needed during the lesson, if not straight after. I have been learning with Tom for over a year now and he has totally reignited my passion for this instrument. I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone - the...

Tom is a great guitar teacher. I have been having lessons with him for several years now, and he recently helped me through my Grade 5 classical guitar. I particularly like his vast knowledge of suitable repertoire, choosing pieces that both suit my preferences and build different skills. He also has a lovely calm personality that I am sure makes him great with pupils of all ages (I am an adult learner).

Tom is an excellent and patient teacher. His breadth of knowledge and experience is such that there doesn't seem to be any guitar style which is outside his scope. I had previously played for more than twenty years to a moderate level. In the couple of years that I've been taking lessons with Tom he has consistently helped me to find new ways to approach thinking about my guitar playing and new challenges to keep me progressing.

After a year of jazz-guitar focussed tuition with Tom, he has provided excellent guidance and insight into how to work towards my established goals, with great consistency in communication, lesson content and feedback. Through detailed, personal lesson plans, I feel that my development within soloing, music theory and a thorough ability to transcribe have been massively improved through regular lessons with Tom and I couldn't recommend him more!

Excellent guitar lessons. I tried a number of guitar teachers previous to Tom but Toms has been the best. He definitely understands what i am hoping to achieve from playing and will teach me what i need to know to reach my goals. I've learnt loads more than i have done previously, my knowledge of guitar music theory and actual technique has improved a lot and i haven't been going to Tom that long. About 3/4 months and would totally recommend him to anyone.
