John has been teaching my boys 7 and 6 for the last year, the kids have come on great. John keeps them engaged throughout the lesson and is very patient with them.
I highly recommend!

First rate guitar teacher and an all round good bloke!

Posted Friday 29 Jan 2016 05:37 PM

John has been teaching me how to play for just over a year now and although progress has been relatively slow (completely my own fault due to a lack of time to practice), John has always shown great understanding and even greater patience.

He's managed to somehow teach me how to play some of my favourite songs, including 'Here Comes the Sun' and I'd absolutely recommend him to any budding guitarists out there.

Put the kettle on and enjoy!

Brilliant Teacher

Posted Friday 27 Mar 2015 06:53 PM

I started lessons with John in January this year and from the very first he put me at ease. He has a calm and constructive approach to teaching and varies each lesson with different techniques. I have learnt so much in a short space of time.Just to clarify i'am 60 years young this year and already looking forward to my next lesson. Would recommend John to anyone young or old.

Can't believe how much I've learnt already!

Posted Tuesday 24 Feb 2015 09:39 PM

Started having lessons with John at the beginning of January and I can't believe how much I have learnt in such a short space of time. He is a great teacher and is able to work at a pace that suits me. His lessons are really well structured and easy to follow which helps. I am really happy with my progress so far and looking forward to learning much more. John is a really nice guy and makes you feel at ease from the start. A great teacher!

shaun learning at sixty

Posted Friday 02 Jan 2015 07:50 PM

john makes lessons enjoyable and interesting, introducing something new each time. can already play half a dozen songs.If you are thinking of having guitar lessons I can thoroughly recommend John, he is professional,enthusiastic, patient and more importantly a really nice bloke.so pick up the phone and book yourself a lesson don't wait until your sixty like I did

Having been self taught and playing for over 17 years i decided i needed help improving my guitar technique and called john. Ive had 2 lessons for far and i feel confident i'm with the right teacher. Exellent manner and approach, already looking forward to next lesson.

Works Miracles!

Posted Tuesday 07 Oct 2014 09:12 PM

Totally impressed by John's very clever teaching methods, skills and talent as a musician too! I have never played guitar but had always fancied the idea, so for my 50th birthday and much to my friends and family's surprise, I asked for an acoustic guitar. YouTube was my plan but after 4 months had learnt only 3 chords and not a clue about anything else. After just 2 lessons with John, I'd learnt 9 of the 12 chords he left for me and a song!! I can't wait for my fortnightly lesson and rush home from work to practise most days. Highly recommended.

Great teacher, great musician

Posted Sunday 05 Oct 2014 06:17 PM

Just had my third lesson with John and thoroughly enjoying my journey so far. I myself teach, not musically I might add, but teach non the less, and it requires a special set of skills. John has a teaching method that is very friendly, attentive,patient, clearly experienced and skillfull in his own right as a musician. Every other Sunday is a date in my calendar I always look forward to.

Superb Teacher and Lovely Fella

Posted Tuesday 16 Sep 2014 07:03 PM

John has been teaching my 15yr old daughter acoustic guitar for maybe 4 months now and wow!

Her playing has come on leaps and bounds. Everything is so improved even down to her developing a delicate touch and rythm but even the how each string is played. Everything sounds so even and tuneful now.

Every lesson is an improvement and its obvious from the second I hear her play. She is so enthusiastic and looks forward to John coming everytime.

My daughter can be quiet and shy, but John has a wonderful warm and friendly personality which always gets her involved and joining in.
She can be hard on herself if she struggles with anything (a perfectionist and maybe a bit OCD... lol!), but John is so supportive and often quotes 'Rome wasn't built in a day!' and makes light of it if she makes a mistake or gets upset with herself. He then picks her right back up and gets her playing it fine in no time at all.

I'm currently sat in an adjoining room working whilst John is giving her a lesson. I can hear them both laughing and her playing sounds lovely and really melodic. As she plays John is singing the verse (he really has a nice voice too) and it's so nice and I can repeatedly hear John complimenting her and her giving support.

I'm so happy to have found John and would 100% recommend him to anyone, even to someone who is very timid and she.

He is a truely lovely guy and a fantastic Guitar Teacher too.

The Final Lesson

Posted Wednesday 27 Aug 2014 01:56 PM

I have now completed around 2 and half years of lessons with John and have moved from strumming ( badly) the odd chord to being able to play and even sing a range of songs in strumming, finger picking and vamping styles. He has been an excellent tutor throughout and hopefully I can go on to use the skills he has taught me to good effect. I would thoroughly recommend John to any budding guitarist of any level, he is a modest but highly skilled guitarist with the patience of a saint.

Highly recommended ....

Posted Thursday 31 Jul 2014 10:40 AM

Like many self taught guitar players, you tend to reach a plateau that you cant seem to overcome. You continue to play what you are good at and go round and round in circles but never really progress any further. This is where this great guy comes in.

He is both proficient and patient and has helped me tremendously. He continues to push me beyond my comfort zone into areas that I could never have hope to be and every lesson teaches me something new.

I enjoy John's style of playing and teaching immensely and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone, of all abilities, who wish to learn or move forward with their current level of playing.

He is not only a great tutor but has become a good friend too - thank you John :-)

John is a really good tutor. He teaches both me and my husband and we really look forward to our lessons with him. Both never played before but we are really progressing through John's teaching methods. Easy guy to be around, friendly and patient and he knows his stuff. Thanks John for our progress to date :)

Amazing

Posted Wednesday 14 May 2014 07:54 PM

I Have been leaning to play guitar since the end of last year, before john started to teach me i didn't have a clue what i was doing and now i can feel myself getting better every lesson.. If i make a mistake he politely tells and explains what i did wrong and shows me the correct way to do it.

If you want to learn guitar john is the man to teach you! :)

Another great lesson from John,despite not having alot of time to practice John teaches the skills you need to progress at your own speed,one month learning finger picking and vaping then before you realise it you have learnt the skills to play some Green Day!
Superb John

8 months of guitar lessons in and we all couldn't be happier. Doing the lessons at the same time as my 2 kids works well and they are getting very confident with a guitar now. John puts the kids at ease, meaning they're never stressed playing and always think of it as fun rather than hard work. Looking forward to some new stuff to play in the new year. Merry Christmas John! From Phil, Sarah, Luke and Niamh.

I have only had 3 lessons so far and i feel as if i have made real progress, before i decided to learn to play i had never been able to do one chord. now after only 3 lessons i can feel my self getting more and more comfortable.

If you want to learn to play guitar john is the man to teach you, he's patient, friendly and has all the right stuff to make you in to a pro :)

Thanks john :)

Superb

Posted Tuesday 10 Dec 2013 09:10 PM

Having had lessons previously from another teacher my 9 year old daughter had become disillusioned that she was doing the same thing each and as such lost interest and wanted to find a new teacher, a big thing for a girl of that age to ask! There followed an internet search and found this very site with the recommendations below - can it be that positive and inspiring - YES. Spoke with John & arranged a time for the lessons and what a difference. Paying less,for more organised, productive & motivated lessons which have seen my daughter progress more with him than the previous year in a variety of different styles never previously even mentioned. Importantly she enjoys it and receives really positive encouragement and praise from John throughout. If you are looking for lessons ring John.

excellent tuition

Posted Sunday 08 Dec 2013 10:13 PM

John teaches my 13 year old daughter. He tailors her lessons in a way to keep her attention, makes them fun and she thoroughly enjoys every minute. I could not ask for a better teacher and would recommend him to anyone of any age. Thank you John, you provide a top notch service.

Thoroughly enjoyable home guitar lessons

Posted Sunday 08 Dec 2013 04:48 PM

Now in my fifties I have decided if I don't learn to play the guitar now, I never will! 2 months into my lessons with John, and every lesson I enjoy even more than the last one! I feel I've made real progress in a relatively short time, thanks to John's skill, ability to explain things in a way I understand, patience, encouragement, celebration of my progress, sense of humour and the knack he has of introducing new things at a pace that gently challenges me each lesson. The fact that he turns up on our doorstep with his guitar and music, rather than me bundling mine into the car to take them to have a lesson elsewhere, is an additional bonus! Thank you!!!

18 Months on

Posted Sunday 20 Oct 2013 08:23 PM

im still enjoying every lesson.and he is a great teacher moving you up alevel when your progressing and not keeping you doing the same stuff week after week. A very friendly and great teacher and guitar player top man John

John is exactly what my daughter aged 6 and I aged 43 needed.
With years of teaching experience he knows not just what to teach but at the correct speed so you feel like you're progressing.

John is an easy going friendly guy which makes learning fun he also understands the busy life's that we as a family have so there is never any pressure to practice.

Thoroughly recommended you won't be disappointed

OK, where do we start...six months ago I had never played the guitar (tried one of the teach yourself in a day rubbish to total failure) and today I look back at a catalogue of songs, tunes and varied styles I could of only dreamt of. Johns a quality teacher and a quality bloke he cares about guitar and his pupils with a passion. If your thinking about getting started then you won't find a better teacher than John Bevan.......KEEP ON ROCKIN JOHN....!!!!!

Great First Lesson

Posted Sunday 08 Sep 2013 08:47 AM

My 10 year old daughter had her first guitar lesson with John recently, having never played any musical instrument. He was great with her and very encouraging. She can't wait for her next lesson.

Look no further for guitar lessons!

Posted Wednesday 24 Jul 2013 12:28 PM

After trying and failing to teach myself guitar on and off for about 5 years, I decided to try some lessons and a Google search revealed this professional looking website. So I thought, lets give it a try, and boy was it the right choice.

John makes learning easy and enjoyable, no playing just chords for hours on end. After the very first lesson i had a song to learn and practice, it was all very exciting and now 7 or 8 lessons later i have about 7 or 8 different tunes to practice, all using a variety of chords and play styles from strumming to finger picking.

I never dreamed that after a few short weeks I could have progressed so much, John's easy going and friendly teaching style are a credit to him and his love of guitar playing.

I would recommend John's services to anyone thinking of taking lessons. Young or old, beginner or not, I am sure he can help you out and you'll have fun doing it too. I know I do.

Thanks John.

At the age of 66 learning to play the guitar was not going to be easy, but thanks to John I can now play to a standard that I am well satisfied with. Highly recommend you give him a try

We're all looking forward to the next lesson

i;ve know John for three years and i've started to learn the guitar my wife brought my one for our wedding anniversary but unforturely its a right handed guitar and i'm left handed but John kindly had an old guitar put new strings on it and gave it to me this guy is a gem not only a true friend but also a wonderfully guitar player. i thought John would find it difficult because John plays right handed and he teach me playing left handed i thought by now John would have thrown the towel in by now but may i say John as got the patience and time to help anyone John's experience is out of this world he is a great guitar teacher.

EXCITED

John is an amazing teacher, He has such a lovely personality and he is so patient. He has been teaching my son Elliot for about 3 months now and Elliots really enjoying his lessons. The fact that John comes to our house is an added bonus as we dont have to round up all the kids to take Elliot to his lesson. I would reccommend John to anyone wanting to learn the guitar whatever your ability. His singings not bad either!! lol Thank you John

I can't compliment John enough on his tuition, he makes learning to play the guitar fun, in a relaxed and often hilarious session.

More so than his outstanding tuition, John is an outstanding bloke, who's company I look forward to every other Wednesday.

Had my guitar stuck in the cupboard for eight years after trying it all, learn in a day books (yerr whatever...!!), videos, dvds the lot with no success whatsoever !!!! So, at 48 I took a chance on lessons. found Johns website and booked my lessons. Now just had lesson number two and cannot believe I would have chords in my head and learning tunes and various styles of playing guitar, ok you only get out what you put in but with johns teaching style, friendly approach and patience (trust me he has plenty) I gained the confidence to play. John has a genuine love of the guitar and teaching.......Many thanks John roll on lesson three.

Lessons with John

Posted Tuesday 11 Dec 2012 10:33 AM

My son is 10 years old and has had 2 lessons with John. It has surprised me how much my son has progressed in such a short time. John is very patient and makes the lessons very enjoyable.

Guitar Lessons for my 6 year old

Posted Monday 22 Oct 2012 05:55 PM

I find John to be an excellent teacher who has patience with my 6 year old son who is learning.

My boy seems to be progressing much better than I thought in such a short space of time and this is down to John being a big help in breaking the teaching down so my son understands it.

I would definately recommend John if you are looking for a teacher.

guitar lessons for children

Posted Monday 01 Oct 2012 02:36 PM

John has been giving my 8 year old daughter guitar lessons for a few weeks now. She is thouroughly enjoying her one hour sessions and remains motivated to keep practising inbetween his visits. John has a calm nature that gets results.... and its always nice to hear him playing guitar at the end of the lesson.

John teaches my daugther he is so patient with her and encouraging. A true gent. He is very knowlegable about his music and shares this the her. I would recommend John without hesitation for lessons.

Highly recommened!

Posted Friday 28 Sep 2012 11:22 AM

Nine months ago my parents took me out of a music academy, where I was not progessing, and booked me into fortnightly one hour sessions with John at our home. Since then I have moved forward so much that my parents now enjoy listening to my practice times that amount to over an hour every day.

In fact, they are so pleased with my progress and renewed enthusiasm that they have just bought me an electro-acoustic guitar. And they don't mind the extra volume!

I found that if I do my bit by practicing every day and following John's very good teaching methods, I can now play music that I once thought I would never be able to play.

My mom and dad join me in recommending John as an A+ guitar teacher.

Progress Review

Posted Friday 21 Sep 2012 04:04 PM

I have come on leaps and bounds, from knowing a few chords to now playing and singing songs that John has taught me and also some of my own choices from sites he recommended. Still a lot to learn but I am in good hands and also in good compnay with John.

Enjoying the structure

Posted Wednesday 05 Sep 2012 02:04 PM

I am really enjoying my guitar lessons with John. I have had 4 lessons so far and love the structure that John has provided for me. I have tried to teach myself guitar using online tools over the past year but knowing that I need to practice for my next lesson is the motivation I was looking for. John is a great teacher who explains thing well and is very patient.

Been having guitars lessons with john for a while now, and i cant believe the progress and the gain of experience that he has gave me. Also with me studying music at college it gives me other skills by being able to play more than one instrument
Overall he is a great teacher and i recommend him to people that want to learn the guitar.

Amazing teacher!

I have had three lessons with John up to yet and I have learnt so much. I do not tire of practicing what I have been given and feel progress every week. I like to know the theory behind what I am doing and John will patiently explain to me if I ask. An excellent teacher and would definitely recommend!

If you have read Johns introduction, he does what he says.
No wonder this bloke is always busy, he delivers a professional service, bispoke to what you ask for, in a friendly, enthusiastic manner and always with a smile. I have now had 3 lessons with John and have improved beyound belief. I have tried to learn guitar myself, don.t bother, your wasting you time. Give John a call, you want be disappointed.

ON GOING SUCESS

Posted Wednesday 02 May 2012 10:05 AM

I'm so pleased with the progress my daughter has made, she is now capable of playing both acoustic and electric guitar thanks to Johns superb teaching, continued enthusiasm and love for his craft, which has inspired her to learn more moving at an incredible rate and with such enthusiasm which 14yr old's rarely show!
John is a joy to have around and we look forward to the lessons they have increased my daughters confidence and made her feel special.

update from my first lesson 12 dec 2011

Posted Monday 30 Apr 2012 09:32 AM

after only10 lessons starting to know my way around the bass after learning a few chords im now on bass runs & playing a few songs for me its a bit like when i was learning to drive you seem to be getting nowhere fast you cant grasp it, then it falls in place so practise & guidance from john will soon have you on your way.a local bass player heard me play he knows ive only just started & was impressed on my progress & said its coming your getting there which pleased me no end which is testament to the way john learns you the bass, for me you learn a song then another which is in the same chords but with little twists here & there but helps me remember the chords so i am starting to know where i am on the bass which at first i found daunting but its starting to fall in place, so my advice is practise & stick at it nothings easy i like most will have to put in alot of work to get out of it what i want & john will help you he checks your progress & knows how far to challenge your ability looking forward to my next lesson.

UPDATE

Posted Saturday 14 Apr 2012 08:58 AM

Update from my 6th July, 2011 posting.
John still comes to my home every two weeks for a one hour lesson.
He has taught me all differant ways of playing my guitar. I have still got a long way to go but he remains an excellent teacher and I would recommend his teaching methods to any one who wishes to learn to play guitar.

Well done John for sticking with me

Great guitar teacher

Posted Thursday 22 Mar 2012 08:39 PM

Organised by my wife as a birthday present the lessons have been great in improving my guitar playing. John is a friendly, patient teacher with a wide range of songs and techniques, an old round top bloke!!

Great Guy

Posted Sunday 11 Mar 2012 06:56 PM

John is a fantastic guitar teacher. I booked him for guitar lessons after reading some of the reviews already given and I can only say that the comments people are saying are very true. He is a fantastic person. He is patient and inspires a lot of confidence in me. After only two lessons I feel like I have known him for years and cannot wait for my next lesson.

Great guitar teacher for our son

Posted Sunday 19 Feb 2012 05:14 PM

We would highly recommend John Bevan as a guitar teacher for anyone who is looking to learn to play. Our son of 11 years has learnt to play so well. He has learnt to play chords and different styles of strumming in just after three lessons. We are very pleased.

highly skilled teacher

Posted Sunday 19 Feb 2012 04:58 PM

John Bevon is an exelent teacher and I went from making a cacofiny to making nice rythimic tunes. He has lots of patience with me and is very kind. He always comlements me when ever I get something right. When I get something wrong corrects me nicly. I would recomend John Bevon to enyone who is looking for decent guitar lessons.

Posted Tuesday 14 Feb 2012 03:41 PM

john has showed me a total of 16 chords and 6 styles of playing in just two lessons he helps me play guitar with easy instructions and inspires me to practise as much as possible. his ability to play the guitar is only matched by his ability to teach it . john is kind, motivating, informing and great at what he does 5 stars for some great lessons and lots of fun

Great first lesson.

Posted Wednesday 01 Feb 2012 05:23 PM

I had a wonderful first lesson with John and can't wait for my next one this Friday. He is very patient and explains things very well. He didn't even discourage me when I told him what my aspirations were, whether they were achievable or not :) Thanks John

Fantastic lessons

Posted Sunday 29 Jan 2012 04:05 PM

I have only had two lessons myself but my son has been having lessons with John for about 1 1/2 years. I find John to be patient, very talented, punctual, and above all fun which I think is important especially when you are trying to learn something as complex as the guitar. I am more than happy with how I have progressed in just two lessons. My son is a credit to John. Thanx john x

Excellent!!

Posted Sunday 29 Jan 2012 02:32 PM

From the minute I spoke with John on the telephone I felt comfortable and at ease about meeting with him for some lessons. Having just had my second lesson I can say that his teaching skills and methods are excellent. I knew some chords but feel John has a great understanding of pitching the sessions just right to make them achievable whilst moving me on at a pace that I can progress at. I am already looking forward to the next session. He is a very nice guy to get on with and makes you feel at ease, even when you don't get things right, as we all do. There is no question that Iwill be sticking with him. I would, and will recommend John for people who are interested in lessons wether you are a beginner or want to progress with skills you already have. Thanks John.

inspirational

Posted Monday 23 Jan 2012 11:17 AM

John has only just begun to teach my fourteen year old daughter and I am delighted with his technique. She is thrilled to be moving at such a pace and loves to entertain the family with the songs she has already learnt. John's own enthusiasm for music has inspired her to play as well as his gentle encouraging nature the whole house is filled with music and a positive energy during her sessions.

patience is a virtue

Posted Friday 23 Dec 2011 12:05 PM

My 8 year old daughter has been having guitar lessions from John for about 6 months. Despite the fact she doesnt practise John provides encouragment and praise and she is really coming on well. He makes lessons fun and she loves it when its lesson time

John Bevan is a fantastic teacher!!

Posted Thursday 07 Jul 2011 01:34 PM

I'm 21 years old with a huge desire to play guitar. I am a complete beginner and have had previous teachers that do not compare to John. I have now had four 1hr lessons and know many chords as well as learning songs. He has an outstanding amount of experience as John has been playing for many years. He is extremely patient and his unique teaching methods make playing guitar easy to understand.

John has always been flexible with me as I am cabin crew and always manages to fit me in. I would recommend him to anyone, such a lovely and talented man.

John Bevan Great Guitar Teacher

Posted Wednesday 06 Jul 2011 08:52 AM

I am 70 years old. 6 weeks ago I knew nothing about playing any musical intruments let alone a guitar. So I decided I might try to learn guitar. So along comes John Bevan to my home. What a teacher. I have had three 1 hour lessons with him in the six weeks.
I have now completely learned 13 chords ( not easy when you know nothing about music) and I am now into my first song.

John Bevan is a good man and an excellent teacher. If he can teach me at my age he can teach anybody.

Absolutely Fantastic Guitar Teacher

Posted Tuesday 21 Jun 2011 03:34 PM

John is an absolutely fantastic guitar teacher, he is a very patient man, "has to be with me", he breaks everything into bits so you can learn and easily understand, until you know what to do. His way of teaching is unique, and really works, John has been playing a long time, and has lots of experiance, I would certainly recommend John if you want to learn to play the Guitar properly.

John has been teaching me guitar for about 7 years now and I have to say he is a wonderful teacher. He has always encouraged me and pushed me to my limits but at the same time has been patient and let me learn at my own pace. Over the years John has taught me a wide variety of styles on the guitar including, rock n roll, blues, folk, country and classical and has helped me develop my confidence as a player and also a performer. I would strongly recommend him to anyone thinking of taking up the guitar.

RE: Guitar lessons

John has been teaching me guitar for a few years now. When I first began I couldn't even play a chord, and now John has taught me numerous songs in different styles such as finger picking, blues and calypso strumming. He teaches many different techniques which can be applied to suit all genre of music. John himself is extremely encouraging and always makes you feel at ease. He is game for a laugh and is very easy to get along with, never criticising you or putting you under pressure. A wonderful guitar teacher who I highly recommend!!!

He does so in a relaxed and very professional manner.John knows how to praise, listen to and encourage my children. More than a teacher John is that "Special" friend that we all enjoy having around on a Sunday morning!!

Mr Bevin is a very good guitar teacher. He comes to our house every sunday to give my son Philip his lesson, before he came my son could not play a note on his guitar which he purchased last August after he lost his gran at the ripe old age of 102, he got the guitar with the money left to him by his gran in her will and it is worth every penny that i give Mr Bevin without whom my son would not be able to play his guitar. I would definately recommend Mr Bevi to anyone.n
