Great place for any guitarist to learn. Especially starting off as a beginner, having a professional coach you really does help. Derek is professional and really knows what steps you need to take next to become a better guitarist.

Derek has shown me so much in the last 12 months. I am always amazed at his repertoire across all genres. I love to sit and listen to him play Stevie Ray Vaughn then switch to acoustic Christmas carols. Amazing the sounds he can do with a guitar.
