Testimonials

Hamish MacMillan is a great guitar teacher. His knowledge of the guitar from a theoretical and practical perspective is excellent and he is able to clearly communicate practice and theory. He makes lessons enjoyable and he is a good listener. He ensures lessons are tailored to meet students' particular needs. I have always enjoyed lessons with Hamish and have progressed well as a result of his help. He has also written a text book the Beginners Survival Guide for Guitar. I regularly refer to it. It is an essential resource and reflects his comprehensive knowledge of the guitar. I highly recommend Hamish as a guitar teacher.

I've been playing guitar for many years and in that time I've taken lessons with several teachers. I'm really happy to have found Hamish as a teacher. He has taught me more over the last few years than I could ever imagine. His practical and theory teaching methods are very broad, as is his knowledge of various musical styles. His teaching methods are fun, yet structured and informative and I always walk away from a lesson feeling that I have achieved something positive. He has patience and is excellent at transferring his skills. Highly recommended!

Had lessons with Hamish at the guitar school and had an excellent experience. He was punctual, helpful, patient and tailored lessons really well to fit the level of my playing. Would not hesitate to recommend him to players of all levels. And hey, he's a great guitarist and a nice guy!

I can honestly say 'Hamish is the best Guitar Tutor' I have ever come across. Hamish is patient, kind, and generous with his time. I've had lessons from Hamish on and off over the last five years and I will continue to be his student for years ahead. Hamish displays in depth knowledge of music theory and tears come to my eyes when he plays 'The Blues' his improvisations truly move my soul!

I started last year pretty much from scratch after not picking up a guitar in 45 years. Hamish was great and got me going quickly. However, lack of practice means that some of what I learnt has gone, so I'm about to get back into it and am looking forward to sitting opposite Hamish again.

Before learning from Hamish, my eight-year-old son had never played a guitar. After just a few months of lessons he can play all the standard open position chords, read sheet music and guitar tablature, and play several pieces of music. From the beginning Hamish exposed him to different genres of music.

As a complete beginner with no prior music exposure, I tried attending a beginners’ class elsewhere but felt uncomfortable and was about to give up. A friend suggested I try the Guitar Factory School at Gladesville and so I went along and was lucky enough to meet Hamish. Hamish is an amazing guitar player and teacher who knows how to structure his lessons to suit his audience. He has a world of patience and is truly enthusiastic about imparting his knowledge on guitar students of all ages and skill levels.
