"I think the G4 method is very clear and easy to follow."

My name is Carmen, I`ve been taking lessons for about two months and I am really enjoying it. I think the G4 method is very clear and easy to follow. I´ve done the 6 weeks introductory course with Joakim and he has been really patient as well as very flexible with my work schedules. I started my group lessons about two weeks ago and It has been fantastic so far. I enjoy practicing every day and I am excited to go to group lessons every week. Looking forward to keep learning. - Carmen Martinez - Paddington, Sydney Australia.

"the clear instruction and methodology had me hooked. "

I am super happy to comment on your guitar school .. I think it’s quite amazing!  Please feel free to publish my comment, if you wish!

“ I was fortunate to chance upon five introductory guitar lessons at the G4 Guitar School.  I commenced with some hesitation and trepidation as, although I am a children’s performer/singer/storyteller, I am mainly self taught and the idea of formal lessons made me fraught with anxiety.  However, the clear instruction and methodology had me hooked.  Furthermore, the support with practice and Joakim’s willingness to answer any question with ease and clarity and his overall patience has been very encouraging.  I am inspired to continue!” - Fairy Poppilina - Poppy Stoker

" I enjoy the lessons immensely, David is a good tutor, he is very patient and starts and closes each week with mutual question and answer sessions,"

I have been taking weekly guitar lessons (group) with David Aldridge of Leigh Lancashire for around twelve months now. I enjoy the lessons immensely, David is a good tutor, he is very patient and starts and closes each week with mutual question and answer sessions, he answers questions verbally, practically and by use of diagrams, he is available between lessons either is person or via email to assist with any queries or difficulties we may have. The lessons are conducted at just the right pace for me personally, I have also formed social friendships with other members of the group and now regularly attend musical jam nights at local venues where I can observe and further learn new guitar techniques. I am benifitting in my guitar playing by attending Davids lessons, however I realise that I need to practice much, much more and follow the structured practice techniques.  - Ray Lyons, Leigh UK.

"David is an excellent teacher and inspires us all to practice and improve. I am very pleased with my progress."

I have been having lessons from David Aldridge at G4 Musical Strings in Leigh for a year. I attend a group session with three other people of a similar standard once a week. David is an excellent teacher and inspires us all to practice and improve. I am very pleased with my progress. I enjoy the lessons and the practice at home. The skills are challenging but achievable, the combination of skills including reading music and music theory is varied and interesting and follows a logical pattern of improvement. We have about ten songs on the go, with each one building on the individual skills. I am looking forward to the next 12 months and feel confident that with David’s support I will one day be able to call myself a guitarist. - John O’ Donnell.

"I would also like to thank you for your guitar teaching biz. I go to Paddington and find Ryan a fantastic teacher!"

I would also like to thank you for your guitar teaching biz. I go to Paddington and find Ryan a fantastic teacher! I very much enjoy the group teaching format, the social aspect and learning to play with other musicians at an affordable rate. I look forward to be able to play more full songs though and haven't tried this myself yet through other means and time. I realize you focus more on technique and wide range of skills but I would somehow enjoy more being able to play full song (strumming with changing chords etc even in simple manner) I'm sure I could take this up with teacher as well but thought I'd let you know as the opportunity came up. - Mark De - Paddington NSW Australia.

"I would highly recommend Jeff and the system to anybody as I believe that this so far has been the only system that works."

Thank you for your email and asking how we are finding your system of G4 Guitar with Jeff in Butler (Perth, Australia)...

Can I say that I have four children and three of those have tried guitar lessons over the years, unfortunately not successfully, in which I believe is due to the teacher and the system in teaching the guitar.

Jeff is very kind and gentle, he allows you time to absorb the information but also explains carefully and thoroughly.  In my situation my daughter Grace that attends Jeff is Autistic and she needs instructions broken down and made simple in which Jeff does, even I understand what he is teaching and Im 48 and my brain space is very full!!!  he does not push her to move beyond where she is at and he gives great encouragement for her to keep moving forward.  She is stoked he gave her two ticks from the check list and made such a fuss that boosted her up to continue after 5 weeks. When we are in Jeff music area we feel a sense of harmony and relaxation, we do not feel pressured or underachievers as he doesn't compare her with others and say you need to be at a certain point, he is a great natural teacher....

I would highly recommend Jeff and the system to anybody as I believe that this so far has been the only system that works.

Thanks you so much for your time.

Regards

"The way he teaches is so thorough he will go through one tehnique until you have it down pat"

When I started lessons with jeff it was the first time ever playing the guitar, I was so nervous to play and learn infront of him but he made me feel comfortable and welcome within the very first lesson. The way he teaches is so thorough he will go through one tehnique until you have it down pat, I learnt so much about guitar aswell as music within the first 5 week program then I thought I would ever learn and this has kept me motivated and inspired to keep learning all there is to about the guitar, I would like to thank jeff for all he has done. - Cassidy Williams - Perth, Western Australia.

"My daughter has learnt so much, her techniques are improving each week and she has become more confident."

Jeff is an outstanding teacher. My daughter has learnt so much, her techniques are improving each week and she has become more confident. Jeff has reassured her at times when she felt she was struggling and offered her one to one if she needed it. Jeff is friendly, approachable and passionate about music and this most certainly shines out when teaching guitar. Regards - Nicola Peacock - Perth, Western Australia.

I'm quite enjoying the G4 Guitar Method and lessons.

I like and appreciate the way we are having to learn the skills and techniques of playing the guitar as a musical instrument, and not just playing tunes.  I believe this will make me a more accomplished and competent guitarist, one that other people will like to listen to.

Jeff is a good instructor, he is obviously a good guitarist and knows the subject, but is also motivating and inspirational.

I'm looking forward to lots of time for practice over the Christmas holidays. - Phil Hodgson. Perth, Western Australia.

"With regards to the G4 method I believe the way in which it's structured is perfect for anyone wanting to learn the guitar"

I would like to say thanks to Jay as he has been excellent with my son, & makes every lessons fun yet productive.

With regards to the G4 method I believe the way in which it's structured is perfect for anyone wanting to learn the guitar, my son has progressed over the last couple of months from not being able to hold a guitar correctly to now playing some basic cords & some simple tunes. I can see from his progression that if he continues attending lesson he will be at a good standard in years to come, I would have no issues in recommending this method to other people as we have found it works so well. Thanks. John Cadden - West Midlands UK.

"I’ve been amazed at his response to Fernando’s teaching and the method itself. "

My 7 year old son has been participating in the G4 Guitar method with Fernando in Flagstaff hill for the last 3 months and I’ve been amazed at his response to Fernando’s teaching and the method itself. He has relished in the challenge and also handled the strong focus on technique, which I wondered if he would grow impatient with. Fernando is very good at showing where the so-called ‘boring’ tasks, like practising picking, will be of value in the future by giving a practical example. One week he asked my son what bands he liked and he said the Hilltop Hoods. Fernando hadn’t heard of them (being from El Savador) but a week later he played one of their songs, showing that the arpeggios that my son had been learning, were exactly what was needed for their song. What a great practical example! He also reminds my son where the practice is coming out positively in his playing.

As much as I am often a ‘near enough is good enough’ sort of person, I really support the strong focus on technique because it will give my son a freedom to play anything he wants to in the future – and that is something that Fernando expresses too.

At times I wonder if the expectations are a tad high for a child that is trying desperately to be perfect with his first attempts, but I also know Fernando is trying to find that balance between pushing just the right amount to get the result, and also encouraging him. Most of the time he’s getting it spot on. Just occasionally I’ve wondered if Indie hasn’t quite grasped what he’s meant to be doing and so is internally freaking out a little...but more often than not, the gentle pushing is really getting a good result.

I like that the program has repetition but also has variations each week. I like the Daily 4 chart for following for homework.

I am enjoying participating in the classes too and am learning new things also. I practise with Indie as often as I can.Finally I really appreciate Fernando’s efforts and enthusiasm. He’s doing a great job.

If you have any specific questions I’m happy to answer them.
