– Olivia
I started this having never played any instrument and after 6 weeks I can play some tunes and have learned chords as well as how to strum. The content is taught in a very approachable way and never felt too intimidating. Pacing of the course is also great and never felt too fast or too slow.
– Osman
It has been a pleasure working with Dean and I’ve learnt so much already! Can’t recommend enough to anyone thinking about starting guitar, it may seem challenging at first but Dean will make it all worthwhile.
– Kamilla
Just finished the first term and learned a lot from no guitar experience. The classes are very easy to understand and Dean is a really cool teacher.
– Angelica
Dean is well organised, reliable, provides recordings and resources from each session, is a clear and supportive teacher. As a total beginner, he has made learning a very positive experience. But you do have to practice!
– Jeff
If you are considering learning the electric guitar, with songs that you want to play, do yourself a favour and contact Dean. I’ve had classical training in several instruments over the years and most involve the drudgery of a harsh teacher demanding constant practice. Dean’s classes are different. They are fun, inspiring, and completely non-judgemental, which means you want to practice and learn!! The classes are well structured – each week builds on the techniques learned. There is also the right amount of music theory, but because of Dean’s amazing delivery you don’t even notice it. I just wish I’d found the Beginner Electric Guitar Course years earlier…
– Stephen.
There is a great structure to the weekly classes that makes learning the electric guitar less daunting and the fundamentals easier to comprehend. I really appreciate that Dean values teaching the best way to play in the long run as apposed to taking shortcuts for beginners

Dean is simply awsome! He is very patient, always encouraging and higly skilled at teaching. I started as an absolute beginner as a “mature age” student, knowing nothing about playing an instrument. I can’t believe how much I have learned in 6 weeks…! I am pretty confident now that I can learn how to play a guitar… Dean creates a great atmosphere during his classes and I very much look forward to every session.

Dean is a great teacher. In the first term we covered a whole bunch of stuff, including a bunch of songs, riffs, and strumming patterns. It’s been fun learning so much in a short time.

I am fully enjoying Dean’s classes, even though I have absolutely no musical ability or background. He makes music seem accessible and has carefully constructed the program to be enjoyable, achievable and progressively difficult.

Dean is a great teacher. The learning is scaffolded to make it easy to get started while gaining the experience to move to more advanced techniques. He gives access to all equipment you need to begin. I had so much fun and thanks to Dean I can now start learning how to play lots of my favorite songs on my own. I definitely recommend Dean’s classes to anyone who is thinking about learning electric guitar but isn’t sure how to get started.
– Tim
New to guitar, I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Rock Guitar Lessons. Dean’s clear and methodical approach to the fundamentals made a somewhat daunting process straightforward and enjoyable. The weekly presentation content supplied after each lesson is also extremely helpful for practicing at home. Highly recommend.
