Jon has taught my son in person and online. It's been great to be able to continue lessons in lockdown. My son loves learning guitar and Jon is great at teaching.

Jon is such a great guy. A true musician. My son loves his lessons. He says Jon ‘speaks’ music. So grateful to have him on our doorstep for guitar lessons.

I have been having guitar lessons with Jon of Playable Guitar for the last 6 years.Jon is an excellent guitarist and teacher. He is able to play and teach a number of different styles of music and presents musical theory in an easy to understand way.I am thoroughly able to recommend Playable Guitar to students of all grades.

Jon is a great teacher. He helps understand music theory and explains tricky parts of songs very well. When planning a lesson, Jon picks the kind of music that you like, which makes the lesson very interesting and entertaining. I highly recommend!

Started guitar lessons with Jonathan a few months ago and have been surprised by the progress I've made and can already strum along to a few songs during his Guitar Club sessions. Jon has an informal and friendly approach but is also a master of his craft with deep knowledge of music theory and real world professional experience to back it up. Thoroughly enjoy his lessons and have no reservations recommending him.

As a bass player who has also spent many years just ‘noodling’ on guitar making only slow progress, I started taking weekly guitar lessons with Jon in Spring 2021 at the RIC.I really enjoy the lessons because Jon is able to combine teaching me how to play songs or solos I’ve wanted to learn for ages while also weaving in music theory in an interesting and fun way. He is a real guitar dude who is passionate about music!I’m really pleased with the level of progress I’ve made after only about 5 months, my playing and understanding of music has leaped forward!I also attended some of Jon’s “Guitar Club Nights” in the summer for some group jamming in a beer garden which was a lot of fun.

Awesome teacher, can’t recommend highly enough. Has taken my playing to the next level of enjoyment. I’m mid 50’s returning to guitar playing and attending the group play along. Jon’s knowledge and his great explanation skills are giving me light bulb moments every week. My confidence has improved tremendously in the 3-4 weeks I’ve been attending his sessions. John manages to get everyone from beginner to experienced players jamming along together to produce some great sounds. I seriously can’t recommend this guy enough, you won’t be disappointed.

Jon taught my son guitar for some months until he made the decision to focus solely on piano, not in any way a reflection on Jon's teaching. He always enjoyed Jon's lessons and came away with valuable insights and skills. Jon paid close attention to my son's individual musical style and ability and his lessons were always friendly and relaxed. He is a marvellous player and is very inspiring...and pretty cool. I think that one day my son will rediscover guitar and fully appreciate the great teaching he had.Johnnie and Jacquine

Jon is a brilliant guitar teacher, he’s very relax and patient , he also makes the lessons fun. My son Started playing at the age of 8 and has become a great guitarist and can read music thanks to Jon , my other son and his friend are also having lessons, they are both really enjoying them , that’s half the battle. I would highly recommend Jon, for all abilities.

Jon is a WONDERFUL teacher. He has supported my girl in developing her musical skills but also her levels of self esteem and confidence. Whether face to face or online, my daughter loves her guitar sessions! Jon is extremely professional and flexible in his approach, tailoring the lessons to her musical interests with humour. Would highly recommend!
