At the age of 40 I decided I wanted to learn to play the guitar. I took good advice to find an excellent teacher to guide me quickly through the painful early stages and was fortunate to find Dave Gardener. Dave's style of teaching is song based and does not rely on tedious repetition of scales. Not only does Dave teach how to play the tune, with all its subtleties, but he also provides a rich seam of information about the artist and the background to the song. His lessons are based on your musical tastes and interests and go at our own pace in a relaxed atmosphere. He is able to develop specific musical skills by suggesting and demonstrating songs from his amazing encyclopaedic musical knowledge. From the Blues to Bluegrass through several decades of singer-songwriters to Rock to Country to Classical, finger-picking, flat-picking and slide Dave always suggests interesting material for each lesson. Seven years on I still take that weekly lesson. I achieved what I originally set out to do a long time ago but I am still learning and still inspired by every lesson to want to learn more.
