Rich Hamer Guitar School

I’ve been with Rich for over two years and I cannot recommend him enough. He helped me channel my passion for guitar into noticeable progress by giving me extensive resources (incl. sheet music, lead sheets, chord charts, scale charts…) and working with me to improve my technique, expand my repertoire and answer any questions I have about music. Rich is a dedicated, hardworking teacher and his drive and love for music is infectious. He is a teacher who is second to none :)

Although I only had the opportunity for a few lessons before his move North, he has taught me a great deal and always responded positively to any requests to explore obscure pieces. He made learning fun and I wish...

Before starting lessons with Rich I had been playing guitar for about 15 years and had reached a reasonably good standard, but felt I hadn't improved for a long time. This led me to Rich, who seemed like the best suited teacher for me after scouting around the local area. Since my first lesson he has really opened up my playing and pointed out areas for me to improve on, whilst introducing me to new styles and genres. For any levels I recommend Rich, as he's a very affable and knowledgable gu...
