 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did lessons with Stuart for around 2y as part of a push to get me back to playing the guitar and improving my theory base. With a busy life and job, it's hard to make time to practice as much as I'd like but Stuart is a fantastic teacher for someone like me. Very patient with the lack of practice but also pushing me to play things I would never have attacked myself - all within a tiered long term programme that really helped me raise my level. And he's just a lovely person (sorry for the public cringe comment, Stuart!) - I couldn't recommend lessons with him enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been having guitar lessons with Stuart for 3.5 years and can't recommend him highly enough. His skills and knowledge are exceptional and thorough — it's clear he puts a lot of work into preparing for every lesson.
He's incredibly patient when explaining the theory side of things, and always gives me plenty of songs to practise to help consolidate what I've learned. His lessons are well structured but also tailored to my needs, whether that's learning a favourite song or preparing for an upcoming performance.
Highly recommend if you're looking for a guitar teacher who genuinely invests in your progress.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent years making slow progress before deciding I needed a guitar teacher, and I was so lucky to find Stuart when I did. Beyond learning new songs he's taught me to understand what I'm playing and how to teach myself. I'm now playing things I would never have imagined I could, and making much faster progress than before. Apart from all that he's a very patient and positive teacher and great fun. If you're in any doubt, just hit him up. You won't regret it.

Stuart is a great guitar teacher-my son has ASD and absolutely loves going to his lessons-he teaches him anything he wants to learn.Tom has even performed on several occasions on stage ,on his electric guitar for college shows the songs he has learned with Stuart! No stress with grades or learning endless chords -Tom has learned a wide repertoire of music and continues to do so with Stuart . I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a great guitar teacher who is very personable with a great knowledge of music.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stuart is an incredible teacher. He’s patient and adapts to your learning style, even over the course of a single lesson. He tailors lessons to what you want whilst also ensuring you are - over time - building up the skills you need. Everything stays fresh and interesting.

He can teach you anything on a guitar, and if you don’t get it immediately, he’ll just break it down and help you try different approaches to take the first steps before building up from there.

Can’t recommend him enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He is very dedicated to teaching guitar properly, without relying on shortcuts or quick fixes. His focus is on helping students genuinely learn how to play, building technique and understanding from the ground up. He has helped me make real progress with classical guitar, particularly in working towards the ABRSM grades. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a structured, thoughtful, and committed guitar teacher.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a self taught guitarist of some 30 years, I decided to get lessons to improve my technique and become a more rounded player. I have found Stuart a great teacher in this respect, and have made major improvements in so many different aspects of my playing as well as becoming confident in learning new songs which I would not have dreamed about a couple of years ago. As well as a real focus on timing and techniques, Stuart is very flexible around any specific issues I have on learning new stuff. I thoroughly recommend Stuart

Absolutely fantastic guitar teacher!

Within 12 months I was confidently playing some of my favourite songs. Stuart really takes time getting to know your strengths and weaknesses and working on them to improve constantly. Stuart not only can play the guitar and teach other people, he also has fantastic knowledge of musical theory which is incorporated into the songs you learn helping me to understand why certain notes sound better together etc.

I would certainly recommend anyone who is even thinking about giving the guitar (acoustic or electric) a go, getting in touch and speaking with Stuart and as a previous reviewer stated he spends time replying to your e-mails and putting your mind at ease before making the decision.

I am a 100% satisfied student!

A top notch guitarist

I highly recommend Stuart as a guitar teacher. His lessons are well prepared, well structured, and he is able to draw on a large amount of high quality teaching materials built up over many years of teaching at his home in Ealing [now in Teddington]. He is also patient, gives his full attention during lessons, and is easy to get along with. Importantly, his musicianship is second to none.

As a result, my ability to play rock, blues, pop and other genres has progressed enormously in the space of just one year.

In summary, if you are looking for a top notch guitarist who can play guitar across different genres brilliantly and with flair, and who has a passion for teaching, then Stuart is by far your best option. Whether you are a complete beginner or a professional musician, Stuart will help you take your playing to the next level and beyond.

He's also a very nice guy!

A great teacher!

I have been receiving guitar tuition from Stuart regularly for over a year now. Stuart is a great teacher. He has many different methods that has helped me understand what I have found difficult. He lets me go at a steady pace so I get as much from the lesson as possible.

His lessons are both insightful and enjoyable. Not only has Stuart helped me improve my playing, he has helped me understand music theory on a whole new level. So I can apply that to my playing which is something I thought I could have never accomplished.

I am so please with the results I have recommended Stuart for a guitar teacher on countless occasions.

Stuart is a gifted teacher

I was bought lessons for my birthday after wanting to learn guitar properly for years. I'd tried learning on my own through books, online courses and DVDs. They were never good enough and I realised why after my first lesson with Stuart.

Stuart is a gifted teacher. He has made learning guitar effortless, entertaining and managed to make a life time goal achievable in just a few months.

I am shocked and suprised every week at how much I've learned through Stuart's teaching and in such a short time. I'm playing songs I'd never dreamed I could. I can't thank him enough. Looking forward to my next lesson.

Stuart's guitar tuition is excellent!

He is very patient and the classes are very well prepared. Stuart's advice had an immediate impact on my way of playing guitar. Also, the classes are very practical and fun, you almost don't feel the time passing by!

On a personal level Stuart is a great guy, very approachable and friendly. I very much enjoy taking classes with him and I thoroughly recommend him!

I've seen massive improvements in my playing

Stuart is without doubt a top notch guitar teacher. In the 9 months of lessons I've had, I've seen massive improvements in my playing, well beyond what I was expecting.

Lessons are focused and very well organised, practice material is never boring and is tailored to each students individual needs rather than a 'one size fits all' approach.

Highly recommended.

Highly recommended

I have been having tuition with Stuart for about 3 years now and find his lessons fast paced and invigorating. But more importantly, at the end of them it gives me the enthusiasm to go home and practice, which is more than half the battle.

I would certainly recommend him to anyone wishing to better themselves on the guitar. He's a nice bloke too!

My playing has improved no end

I had been trying to teach myself guitar for a number of years with a limited amount of success.

Since taking lessons with Stuart, my playing has improved no end with specific and tailored exercises designed to advance my skills in a fun and engaging way.

Stuart's knowledge of musical theory, advanced techniques and his extensive collection of practice materials give me real confidence that my playing will only continue to improve.

Stuart Bahn is truly an excellent teacher!

You will learn a vast amount in a short space of time and excel beyond your own expectations - guaranteed! If you are already advanced he will help to push you to your greatest potential. He has a well structured methodical approach to teaching which is both fun and challenging.

He helps you to connect with the guitar in a way that encourages your own confidence and knowledge as a musician, whether you are playing for fun as a hobby or professionally.

I always leave my lessons feeling that i accomplished something new, with an eagerness to learn more. Highly Recommended!!!

Stuart’s Approach To Teaching Guitar

“Some professional guitarists teach guitar lessons grudgingly, to help make ends meet. That’s not so for me. I’ve always enjoyed teaching guitar.

“I like the challenge of fixing people’s technique problems, timing issues, teaching the skills of improvisation and how music works.

“Music and guitar playing are vast subjects that can be daunting. But with focussed, well-planned lessons and a little dedication from the learner, virtually anybody can become a very good guitarist.”

Getting To Your Guitar Lesson
