James Hobley

James has helped me for months now in some very important areas that I've struggled with on guitar, for ages. Now, having had his help I can play faster, I have better tone, I'm more accurate, understand the modes, and know loads of new chord types and how to use them and improvise over them. James has been a great guide in overcoming the simple things I had wrong, correcting bad habits, and also covering some really advanced material too. I'm a better, more confident player and I enjoy playing more than I ever have as a result! A couple of times now, people I know who are far more accomplished guitarists than I am, and who are familiar with me and my playing have said that they've noticed massive improvements in my ideas, and when we've had the odd virtual jam, and that's down to James' influence too, as I've not done anything else differently. James has been very patient and helpful when I've had questions, and we always get to the bottom of what's going on and how to progress. Wish I had had this years ago! Chris.

'James is a great guitar teacher with tremendous knowledge of music theory. He knows exactly how to explain things in an easy to understand way and our hour long lessons go by so quickly each week with so much productive conversation. I wasn’t sure how a Skype video lesson with someone in another country would work but it has proven to work great. I have learned so much in the few months with James and believe I have become a much better guitarist as a result. With so much free online lessons there is definitely a lot of good supplemental information on the internet for the modern day guitarist to learn from. However nothing can substitute the human interaction with a teacher who can critique you and fill in the gaps of knowledge you otherwise have to figure out yourself. For that James can teach any student the solid foundation they require to go from good to great as a guitarist.' Alan USA
