Mansfield Guitar Tuition

After having a guitar in the house for the past 30 years ,decided I needed help. Been taking lessons with Martyn for a year now and super impressed with my progress and the quality of the lessons. At last I feel I'm making massive steps forward and really enjoying the challenge. Have recommended and will continue to do so. This guys is an incredible guitarist and tutor.

I have had lessons with Martyn for six years, and never even thought about leaving until I left to study music at university. He inspired me as a musician and a guitarist, and he taught me with the highest standards, integrating technique with creativity and emotion. Equally as important as his passion for teaching, is Martyn's own background in performing. He is a phenomenal guitarist, and I have learnt some of the most important aspects of playing and improvisation through the jam sessions that our lessons evolved into. Martyn has become a great friend to me aswell as a teacher, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn more of the the guitar, at ANY level!

I took up guitar lessons after not playing for nearly 10 years - Martyn was brilliant at appreciating the skills I already had and how to build on them and how to build up my playing confidence. He's a fantastic guitarist and tutor, highly recommended!

I spent many years as a student with Martyn, learning initially electric and then bass guitar. Not only is he an exceptional player but he also a great teacher and I would definitely recommend lessons with Martyn, at Mansfield Guitar tuition, to anyone aspiring to improve their guitar playing.

I have played guitar on and off for years and I particularly wanted to concentrate on playing electric guitar. Never having had guitar lessons before I really wasn’t sure where to go but I stumbled across Martyn’s site and decided to contact him and I feel I was incredibly lucky to find him.Martyn is a gifted guitar player and his knowledge of playing styles and music theory is encyclopaedic. He instantly knew what I needed to learn. He has all the attributes of a good teacher; he is kind and patient but never critical. He is very friendly and always makes you feel welcome and he makes it quite clear that he is more than happy to give advice outside of normal lesson times.I have been with Martyn for some 9 months now and I feel that I have learnt so much in this time and that my playing is now beginning to reach a level that I previously thought I could never achieve. Whether you are a complete beginner or and experienced guitarist Martyn can teach you so much. I am so glad that I found him. He has a passion for the guitar which is really infectious.

After playing the guitar for over 10 years with no lessons, I became very narrow minded in my playing and would always play the same things. I called Martyn and sorted out my first lessons. Within 20 minutes (including introductions) he had pin pointed where my playing needed the most improvement. He truly is a great musician. instead of just being able to teach you songs like most other tutors, he helps you to understand them which really does make the difference in taking your playing that step ahead. And his prices are fantastic......! so dust off that guitar, call Martyn and see where the guitar will take you

Martyn is an excellent guitar tutor who is patient and very encouraging. He has done everything possible to advance my ability with the guitar. Practising at home seems a pleasant experience due to his use of technology, such as music, video and pdf files. I would recommend Martyn to anyone who wants to play the guitar. Theodora

I have known Martyn now for 3 years since retiring and taking up playing the guitar. Before retiring, I had on several occasions attempted to learn the guitar without success finding the process of going through exercises shown in tutorial books boring.Martyn immediately tapped into my specific wishes of initially learning to play the blues, explaining the pentatonic and various scales and being extremely patient when I find a specific technique hard to master.Over the years, I like to think of Martyn as a friend and can only give full praise for his skills both as a guitarist and a tutor and I see my own path on this guitar journey only improving over the years.I cannot recommend him highly enough if you wish to learn the intricacies of this wonderful instrumentPaul

Having had lessons off Martyn for the past 18 months, I've gone from not even knowing how to hold a guitar to a confident blues guitar player. Martyn has lots of patience and tapping into 30 years worth of guitar playing and knowledge is priceless. I'd highly recommend Martyn at Mansfield Guitar Tuition to any aspiring guitar player.

Martyn at Mansfield Guitar Tuition has been tutoring me for over 3 years now and he is both an exceptional player and teacher. As a reasonably experienced player I was looking to move forward to the next level of playing and Martyn has and is helping me to achieve this. His knowledge of styles is immense and he will help you to become a better player or learn new techniques in a manner that is enjoyable and understandable.
