"Not only has Jim helped me with improving my playing, we are also working through songwriting as this is another area I'm interested in. Jim is giving me insights and techniques that which are progressing me week on week." - P Child (Wycombe)
"Jim has been teaching me for only 2 months and, although I am the wrong side of 50 , it is incredible how much I feel he has got me to play .Not only is he great teacher for the budding Jack Johnson's and Bucketheads, he is inspirational for fans of the Eagles and Neil Young" - Frank(Hazlemere) .
"Jim's enthusiasm for guitar and music more generally is infectious. A combination of learning chords and putting them into songs early on is highly effective and rewarding - from zero to playing my way through The Eagles' "Hotel California" within a month can only be the mark of a good teacher. Highly recommended." - Joanne (Burnham)
"My lessons with Jim are fun, encouraging and enthusiastic, I also seem to make great leaps of understanding each lesson, similar to a cartoon lightbulb going on over my head! I feel that, as Jim puts it, I am starting to 'think like a guitarist'. He is particularly great at demystifying that world of the musician which beginners are often afraid to knock at the door of, and he makes me feel that with a bit of application I can get out into the world with my guitar and knock them all sideways" - Nikki, (Maidenhead)
My playing has improved beyond all recognition in the last six months. Jim is a fantastic teacher, teaching me what I've wanted to learn, while at the same time sneakily steering me towards things that would really bring on my playing. He constantly provides skills and techniques that can be transferred to different songs and styles of playing. Jim is a very talented musician which could be daunting to a bumbling amateur like me, but coupled with his cheerful laid-back demeanour his expertise instead serves to inspire and encourage. Lessons with Jim are great fun, but best of all, they really work!" - Katy, (Marlow)
"I started to play again in November2010 after a lay off of about 50 years. I bought some tuition manuals but it's a mine field, so I decided to get some lessons. After finding Jim Maving my wife tells me I have been transformed! He knows his stuff alright. blues .ballads. rock. I really look forward to my weekly lesson ROCK ON JIM!" - Frank R (Booker)
"Jim's main concern is that playing the guitar should be fun. His skill is to recognise when an exercise is becoming a chore and try a different angle to keep things fresh. This coupled with his huge enthusiasm for the instrument, and informal approach makes learning the guitar a joy". - Jason (Marlow)
"If you're after guitar lessons that are fun, enjoyable and tailored to your individual needs then you've certainly landed at the right place.Jim's passion, commitment and love of the guitar really shines though during my lessons. We've covered all types of artists ranging from The Beatles and Paul Weller to Razorlight, Kooks and Guns N Roses. Playing your first chord or singing in front of somebody is never going to be easy, however Jim makes you feel comfortable at ease and always gives you encouragement.He's helped me find a new love, passion and commitment in life. Whatever your age or level get in touch with Jim today, you'll never look back." Adam (Maidenhead)
"I went to Jim as a complete beginner, only really knowing about 3 chords. After a couple of months, I'm playing songs I thought would take years to learn, playing some of my favourite songs from Foo Fighters and The Rolling Stones. It's down to Jim's teaching that has really pushed me along to do this. Jim puts you at ease from the outset. His encouragement and enthusiasum make lessons a pleasure, sometimes it feels like you're just jamming together. I leave every week feeling that I've accomplished more, and with a big smile on my face. I can't recommend Jim enough to anyone wishing to learn guitar." -Nicola, Wooburn Green.
