Bolton Guitar Studio

I can't recommend Bolton Guitar Studio highly enough. Simon's a great guitarist. He can play and teach any style you like. Classical, rock, blues jazz or whatever, he can play and teach them all. You want to play from notation? No problem, and he's knows more music theory than you're ever likely to need. Don't want to be bothered learning to read music? No problem either.

Couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. *update* I've since been for several guitar lessons, the atmosphere is friendly and Simon is very knowledgeable. He's quite witty too so you quickly feel relaxed and don't feel embarrased when you have trouble playing a piece. A great local shop and the guitar lessons are even better. I gave ...
