Simon Morel Guitar Lessons

I’ve been a student of Simon’s for some time now, and my playing has massively improved. Simon’s guitar lessons are great fun, I’ve learnt songs and concepts from every genre, style, and era. His energy and passion for music and the guitar is really contagious, and has helped cement the guitar as a lifelong passion of my own!Thanks for the awesome lessons Simon!

I've been lucky to be taught by Simon for a number of years now. My playing has improved significantly under Simon's guidance and personalised tuition. It's rare to find a teacher with monster chops and teaching ability like Simon. Simon's lessons are engaging and he has a special knack for making complex theory and playing techniques accessible. Simon is patient, positive and is genuinely invested in his students' success. Through Simon's guidance and encouragement I have found shortcuts to success in my playing, remediated bad habits, developed confidence in live settings and developed positive momentum for progression through regular lessons. I highly recommend Simon's guitar lessons for all levels. Thanks Simon!

Simon is an excellent guitarist and a patient teacher. I did not start learning until a few year ago, when I turned 50 and I found Simon very easy to work with and flexible about what we worked on. Its a pleasure to recommend him.

I can't recommend Simon's guitar lessons highly enough! He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of music and guitars, coupled with unending patience when you are struggling. He has the ideal balance between depth of knowlwdge and the ability to teach it.

Simon is an incredible musician and also a brilliant teacher. His patience is seemingly limitless and his approach to each lesson is to make the experience fun. Highly recommended.

Simon has been my teacher for more than a few years now. The lessons are always lots of fun and I continue to learn and improve every week. I started to play guitar in my late 40's and at times its been a challenge. I don't think I could have made the process I have without good teacher - and Simon has been fantastic (thanks so much). If you are considering taking lessons with Simon - my advice is just do it!

Just looked up the date of my first lesson with Simon (doesn't everyone keep their recordings to practice with) - it was Aug 2011 wow! 8+ years and still going strong. Looking back, I recall that I spent a lot of time to find a guitar teacher who was a working musician plus would teach me guitar through the music I wanted to play. Since then, we've worked our way from acoustic to electric - rhythm, lead, blues, folk, indie, funk, oz rock, you name it! Simon's ability to transcribe guitar parts for any song you give him, his depth of knowledge of music across the decades, and his skill in teaching technical skills as well as theory and building repertoire make him a rare musical dude. Plus he's immensely patient, and honestly I could just turn up and listen to his stories. You're crazy if you don't choose him to be your teacher. But be aware too - he does have a habit of encouraging you to buy just one more guitar!

Simon is a skilled and patient teacher who makes all stages of learning guitar fun and rewarding. Lessons with Simon usually involve a combination of theory and song learning, so that there is a more immediate value to learning the essentials of the former. It's fun seeing great songs deconstructed and learning what building blocks go into them, so that as a player you can attempt to write a few of your own!I saw Simon nearly all the way through my teens and in retrospect I am in admiration of his patience with me as I was a pretty easily distracted kid. There were times early on where finding motivation to pick up the guitar was challenging but with Simon's support we kept moving forward and slowly expanding my skill base. I now find great value in regularly gigging/recording with my band, which is something that could never have happened without Simon's guidance. Guitar has been right at the centre of my life for nearly 10 years now and I am extremely thankful to have had such phenomenal guidance so early on. 5 stars!

Simon is a lord. Think of everything you want from a great teacher and he is all of those things. A highly skilled working musician who practises what he preaches. Endlessly patient and encouraging. With his encyclopaedic knowledge of contemporary (and sometimes not so contemporary!) music, he focuses on teaching you the songs and styles you want to learn as well as the skills to play them. He infuses every lesson with great stories, fun and enthusiasm. I genuinely look forward to each session. And how many teachers can you say that about? An unreserved 5 stars

Simon has been teaching me for a number of years. He is extremely patient and is able to break down a lesson to give you the best way of practising anything that you are finding difficult. He also overlays the practical with theory. He will do a video, or frankly anything else that will help you. He is also very reliable.
