Milton Keynes' Premier Guitar Tuition
“I have been having guitar lessons with Learn Guitar MK for the past year and a bit. The lessons are always fun and you always learn a lot. I was taught what I wanted to learn and what made me a better guitarist, for anyone starting guitar or for someone who wishes to advance I would definitely recommend Learn Guitar MK.”
Harry Tustian
“My son started learning acoustic guitar in primary school. He showed no enthusiasm or talent and never practiced, it was basically a way to get out of normal class time. When Adam took over the lessons, he introduced himself with his electric guitar and did a demonstration for the children. Suddenly, playing the guitar was the most important thing in my son's life, even more important than the XBox and we soon switched to private lessons. Adam has inspired him and encouraged him and we now have a talented guitar player in the family who could well make a career out of playing. So thank you Adam for bringing music alive for him and being a good role model.”
Ruth Panther
“After playing guitar for four years, starting Rock School grades 6 months ago learning with Learn Guitar MK has been the quickest improvement I've noticed since starting. With structured lessons and a friendly approach I wouldn't recommend anyone else as guitar teachers.”
Emily Saunders
“If you want to learn to play guitar you need a good teacher. It does not matter if you are still at school or older in life. A good teacher will be able to provide you with the fundementals that, once learnt, will support you as you progress, no matter what genre of music you follow. Adam Welch is a good teacher! Patient, supportive, encouraging, Adam will provide you with an essential platform upon which you can develop the skills that will help you reach your goal. He has taken this old dog and taught it a whole bunch of new tricks and succeeded where music education at school many years ago and no end of educational books and DVDs failed. In the past two years he has taught me the essential elements to play guitar at an acceptable level. If you want to get good - get Adam."
Steve Hebden
“I have been having guitar lessons with Adam for over 5 years now. Adam is a great teacher and a great guy, he is an amazing guitarist and an equally awesome teacher. Adam has a big focus on technique and trying to get you to realise when you are making a mistake, he really hammers in the points. His guitar playing skill always has me grinning in astonishment of how simple he makes everything look."
James Manning
“Adam is a brilliant guitar teacher. He is awesome on guitar and teaches it as good if not better! it is good because we can have a bit of banter as well as learn at the same time."
George Neal
“As one of his students, I strongly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a highly skilled, friendly and adaptive teacher who can clearly demonstrate his understanding of a student's needs. In the time that I have received lessons from Adam, I have improved greatly in my technique, speed and understanding of relevant theory."
Charlie Davies
“My son has been having guitar lessons with Adam for nearly two years and as well as enjoying these lessons, he has learnt an incredible amount and is also continuously inspired by Adams knowledge and enthusiasm for music."
Sam Summers
“I would firmly recommend Adam as a guitar teacher. My playing has improved so much that I now confidently play at Open Mic nights. Key to this has been learning scales and learning their use in the music I play. So much so that I am now completely happy to play a solo with the house band at local Jam nights. Not so long ago I would not have felt this was possible."
Simon Bailey
"I'd been playing guitar for almost four years when I had my first lesson and I couldn't even name all of the strings. 6 months later I'm now set to do my grade 6 exam and my technique has improved substantially thanks to Learn Guitar MK's lessons."
Richard Cullum
“Thanks to Learn Guitar MK, my understanding of the instrument is brilliant. Because of their methods I have reached a grade 6 standard in the space of 4 years. The lessons help not only with guitar, but have allowed me to reach higher levels in my education too. With their advanced training, I'd say Learn Guitar MK is definitely the best place to go, hands down, if you want to be good at guitar, and want to do it quickly."
Joe Taylor
“Adam has been teaching me for 5 years and in that time he has taught me the skills and techniques to become a competant guitarist. Adam has been an excellent assessor for my D of E skill section where I was assessed on my playing in 6 month and 12 month time periods. I recommend Adam highly as he cares how the student is progressing and will do everything to help them become better."
Nathan Smart
“We started to enhance what our son was already learning in his school lessons with Adam. What he has learnt and the advance he has made has been brilliant. Kieran really enjoys his lessons and its great to see him so enthusiastic about making music”.
Lisa Smith
“During the year I have had lessons with Learn Guitar MK, I have continued to learn, enjoy and progress with their sound and professional advice."
Derek Sullivan
“We have had Adam as our guitar teacher for many years now. He makes the lessons both challenging and enjoyable. The best guitar teacher we have had to date. Adam cares about what he does and that makes a huge difference. We would not consider having anyone else."
Kathy and Craig Jolley
“I've been with Learn Guitar MK for the past 4-5 years and am working on my 3rd grade. Adam is one of the best guitarists I've ever seen that isn't famous and as well as being a top teacher is also a top bloke. You can always have a good chat about everything. Hopefully I'll be able to continue having lessons with Adam for the coming years."
Nathan Hewett
“Adam Welch is an excellent and passionate teacher who has a professional teaching ethic, while also ensuring that a friendly and well-paced environment is provided for any guitarist of any style with any level of talent. He masters all ranges of style, bringing unity between exceptional musicianship knowledge and virtuosic ‘flair’ during performance. Adam is also professional in adhering specifically to the needs of each student, pacing to their preferred and able level, while also building foundations with the student to improve their ability and speed of learning. Adam is successful in employing elite technical knowledge to help mould and shape a students’ ability to progress them to be the best guitarist they can be. I would fully recommend Adam Welch as a tutor to any aspiring guitarist."
Alex Stuart
“Adam has taught me for 7 years, learning from scratch to the point where I am preparing for grade 6. He is an excellent teacher who is both friendly and very knowledgable. I would highly recommend him to anyone, beginner or otherwise, who is looking to learn the guitar."
Rachel Marshall
“Adam Welch has been teaching my 12 year old daughter for just under 1 year, in that time her confidence has grown and we have seen her progress from being a novice and completely shy to a confident and comfortable guitar player. She looks forward to every lesson like its her first. I would recommend Adam to anyone interested in learning the guitar.”
Mandy Aspinall
“Adam has been teaching my son George for 5 years which is testament alone to Adams skill, knowledge and technique. Adam is very personable but will not hesitate to be "firm" when need be."
Ed Neal
“I started playing guitar at the age of 10 but it wasn’t until I started learning from Adam Welch that I really began to appreciate the instrument. Whether it be shredding like Van Halen, jamming like Clapton, or soaring like Steve Vai, Adam showed me every style imaginable – he is a truly multi-talented player. Adam pushed me and challenged me to be the best player I could be. And as a result, I was very proud to have achieved grade 8 in guitar playing by the age of 16. I may have sold out and chosen a career option completely unmusical, but I am ever indebted to Adam for helping me to develop a lifelong passion for playing the guitar and adoring guitar music.
Alex Dunn
“I would highly recommend Adam to anybody wishing to play guitar, he can play a guitar better than most professional musicians, picks up songs in seconds if you ask him to teach you a particular tune. I have always found him to be professional in every way, his teaching is easy to pick up and effective, he is always prepared to go the extra mile to help even videoing a song and emailing it to assist with learning."
John Rynsard
“Adams Experience simply makes him an Excellent Teacher. In just a few lessons, I now understand more than other Players have been trying to tell me for years. This is because Adam understands the PROCESS of learning and is very carefull not to feed You more information than Your brain can decipher in one session."
Ian Brooks
“I would highly recommend Adam to anybody wishing to play guitar, he picks up songs in seconds if you ask him to teach you a particular tune. I have always found him to be professional in every way, his teaching is easy to pick up and effective, he is always prepared to go the extra mile to help even videoing a song and emailing it to assist with learning."
John Rynsard
“I've been having guitar lessons with Adam since December 2008. Why? Because at the time I think I was going through a mid life crises and I wanted to learn how to play the guitar properly and not with all the bad habits its so easy to pick up. So here we are 5 years and a few Grades later and I'm still learning. It hasn't been an easy journey with work and family commitments getting in the way, and the lack of practice on my part at times (always makes for an entertaining and verbal lesson afterwards) So what’s in store for the future? I would like to achieve grade 6 by the time I reach 60 and with a great teacher like Adam it will be possible, but only if I put the practice in to make it happen. If you're looking for a highly qualified guitar teacher you’ve found the right place and the right people."
John Barker
“I'm a self taught guitarist and have been playing guitar in various rock & indie bands for over 12 years now. I decided to get lessons from Learn Guitar MK to not only understand the theory behind playing but learn new styles and techniques (as we are all guilty of getting stuck in the same old "riffs"). This has been an extremely worthwhile experience for me, my playing has come on significantly since I started and I'm playing with more confidence than ever! my only regret is not starting sooner!"
Keith Shire
“Adam has been my guitar teacher for 10 years now and has taught my as a relative beginner right the way through to my current level over the years I have been able to develop my musical abilities in many different respects, all of which have been made possible with Adam's tuition.I have gained immense satisfaction from learning whole songs start to finish while at the same time understanding the theoretical side of the music. I look forward to my continued work with Adam and further developing my technique and style."
John Walker
“I have been having guitar lessons on and off for years but I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed or learnt as much as I have since I have been having lessons with Adam at Learn Guitar MK. The lessons are varied but structured and he is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I can highly recommend Learn Guitar MK if you want to progress with your playing and learn at a pace that is suitable for you."
Kelly Mundy
“I have been learning electric guitar with learnguitarmk for almost three years now. I have always had really great lessons and they have been excellent value for money. Each lesson is really good fun and I have been able to learn a lot of songs that I find really enjoyable. I have also achieved my grade 2 with the help of learnguitarmk and I recieved great teaching to help me get it. The teaching quality is excellent and I always have something to practice and improve on after each lesson."
Declan O'Neill
“My son has been tutored by Adam for nearly three years. Over this time his raw talent has been greatly tuned and he has learned far too much about the guitar for me to write on a single page. Adam was recommended to us by word of mouth and at the time we were told that he was a "talented musician in his own right that younger students can really relate to". Since that very first lesson we have never looked back. Our sons love for playing the guitar has grown and Adam has not only taught him much of what he now knows but also coached and advised him on future career decisions. One of Adams strengths is that he always wants the best from his pupils and is a straight talker - if you are not working your hardest under his tutelage then he would rather drop you as a customer than keep you on and not get the best from you. This demanding nature has brought the best from our son who has now secured a place to study Music at university. I think that its fair to say that Adam played a large part in making that dream become real."
Doug Duffin
“Adam has taken my two sons from raw beginners and nurtured 2 genuine guitar and bass players who have real understanding of their instruments. Both boys worked through the MK music service and they have both grown up playing their guitars with Adam. He helped to develop their interest by introducing them to the guitar through simple arrangements of tunes that they actually wanted to play. Over the years they have built upon this foundation and have followed the Rockschool grade structure through to grade 6, which has been both challenging and fun. Adam always struck a good balance in his lessons by encouraging them to push themselves to progress whilst never losing site of the fact that playing the guitar is great fun."
