Testimonials

John Poulton

As a classroom teacher myself, I know how important pace is. The tuition videos are well explained and, crucially, well-paced, to help you learn effectively. 

Josh and NBN Guitar opened a new door for me as a guitarist by developing my technique and getting me started with a range of pieces to establish my repertoire on the classical guitar.

Josh has a relaxed, informal style of teaching which puts you at ease and gives you confidence, yet without compromising on his high standards as a musician.

I am a teacher of the classical guitar and have been for some 50 years and NBN Guitar has been a wonderful tool for me AND my students. 

Easy to follow pieces in notation and tab help my younger students a lot.  Notation with Tab can be a great help to beginners and I don’t care how they learn so long as, in the end, they make beautiful music!!! 

I am also impressed at the range of works available - this site is worth every penny!!!!

If you have any interest in fingerstyle guitar (particularly classical) then this NBN site IS A MUST!!!!!!!!!

 I just wanted to thank you for the great one on one lesson I had with you. You made me feel relaxed and at ease right from the start.

You clearly  are good at working with and helping people. You gave me very instructive helpful ideas that I could put into place straightway. I left the lesson feeling like I knew how to play the piece better but you also gave me tips that I could use with other pieces I would learn in the future.

A very big thank you.

NBN GUITAR'S LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

At NBN Guitar, our journey has always been about more than just strings and chords; it's about presenting music material in a way that reflects the times we live and learn in.

From the beginning, our mission has been to empower guitarists of all levels to achieve their full potential through technology. In fact, our YouTube Guitar channel was one of the first to upload all music lessons and performances in 4K to enhance the learning experience for subscribers.

We like to keep abreast of modern advances and this is why our state-of-the-art LMS has so many great features that keep students learning and teachers teaching.
