Des Sherwood Guitar Tuition

Des is an awesome guitar teacher, he has helped me out of a guitar playing rut I have been stuck in for some time. He is knowledgeable and explains things (guitar theory) in a way which 100+ books and YouTube videos has failed to do for me up until now, unlocking music theory ideas I have never previously been able to grasp. I look forward to having countless more lessons with Des and would highly recommend him to any guitarist wanting to improve/learn guitar.

Des always amazes me with his skills, knowledge and experience and I am very proud to have been taught all I know from him....

The lessons are always fun and dynamic; Des is such a great guy and you will never feel at unease playing to such a great guitarist as he is funny,...

His ability to listen to a song I have chosen and play it back is amazing. Would highl...

Des is an exceptionally talented guitarist and a brilliant teacher. I made enormous progress in the time I was taught by Des thanks to his mastery of the instrument and clear instructions. His knowledge is outstanding and he inspires you to achieve your goals in a patient and easy going manner that gives you the confidence to play like you never thought possible. I can heartily recommend Des to anyone interested in learning to play the guitar.
