I don't know where to start, maybe by saying that Paul is coaching genius. I've been a wannabee guitarist for as long as I can remember but lost in the long grass and adrift in a sea of hopelessness. And I used to get nervous singing in the shower. Before meeting Paul for the first time in January I don't think I'd ever played a whole song through or even played along with one. Within two w...

I don't know where to start, maybe by saying that Paul is coaching genius. I've been a wannabee guitarist for as long as I can remember but lost in the long grass and adrift in a sea of hopelessness. And I used to get nervous singing in the shower. Before meeting Paul for the first time in January I don't think I'd ever played a whole song through or even played along with one. Within two weeks of that first lesson, I'd got Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold' under my belt and on Sunday just gone I was singing Paul Kelly's 'To her door' on stage at the Rosemount Hotel in front of quite a crowd. I could never, ever, have imagined doing such a thing and I can only thank Paul for his coaching, he is amazing and an inspiration. If he can do it for me, believe me, he can do it for anyone. Give Guitar Lessons Balcatta a go, you won't be disappointed. Ed Less

I have been playing guitar for a long time. but it got to the point I was stagnant and everything sounded the same. I took lessons with Paul and a whole new world of guitar has opened up. I cannot recommend Paul enough, the style of coaching, Paul's knowledge and encouragement has far exceeded my expectations. Playing and learning as a group and with a band on stage is just awesome.

I started taking lessons with Paul about nine months ago. I had planned to take 1:1 lessons but since one of my goals was to perform in front of people, he suggested I join the group lessons. I had taught myself how to play a good two decades ago and would go through cycles of picking up the guitar again, plateaued, got bored and stopped again.

I started taking lessons with Paul about nine months ago. I had planned to take 1:1 lessons but since one of my goals was to perform in front of people, he suggested I join the group lessons. I had taught myself how to play a good two decades ago and would go through cycles of picking up the guitar again, plateaued, got bored and stopped again. And whenever I tried to play in front of anyone, even friends or family, I'd be so nervous that everything completely fell apart. Ever since I've joined Paul's lessons, I've improved enormously, I can finally play songs the way they should be played and since Paul encourages us to play in front of the group regularly, I've gotten so much better at that too. In fact, I just played and sung on stage at a concert that Paul organised with a proper band and in front of a big room full of people. That was unthinkable for me only nine months ago. I highly recommend Paul, he's a great teacher who doesn't just focus on learning to master the instrument but also on things like mindset, vocals, and so much more. So if you're tired of not making any progress with your musical ambitions, go to him. Less

I couldn’t recommend Paul enough. Before starting lessons with him, I never thought I could play guitar, let alone perform live after just a few months. Now, I'm not only strumming along to my favorite tunes but also rocking them out on stage! Paul's teaching skills are second to none, and every session with him is an absolute blast.

Paul is fantastic guitar teacher and has been very patient and supportive. Picking up an instrument for the first time as an adult is really challenging (don't give up!) but Paul has helped me quieten the inner critic and harness a growth mindset which has been really important in my guitar journey. I am so amazed at the progress I have made and highly recommend!... More

I have been learning guitar with Paul for the past three months. I look forward to my weekly lesson. Paul has helped me revive my passion for playing guitar again. He works with me at my level but at the same time challenges me to aim higher with my playing.

I absolutely recommend Paul if you're searching for a guitar coach. Thank you. Less

OK'ish, considering this was the first time I played with a band as well as in front of anyone. Did I have fun? Absolutely! Would I do it again? Yes! Paul is an awesome teacher.

Paul is a terrific teacher/coach. Focuses on more than just the technical aspects of playing guitar and broadens his teaching to mindset and focus. The concert he puts on for all students who wish to participate is an amazing opportunity to play with a band and for me a bucket list moment. Highly recommend him!... More

Scheduled the first free lesson, got confirmation, no one showed up, they were just waisted my time.

Paul is a great guitar teacher! I loved how we started with songs and could see great improvement even after the first lesson! He listens to what you want and helps you get there so much more easily!... More

a great Teacher ...very understanding and friendly....

Paul is a fantastic teacher. He gels really well with my son and is wonderfully priced. Highly recommend 👍

Paul has been teaching me the guitar for over a year now. Initially, as I had just retired, I asked him to take me out of my comfort zone and to improve my playing. He has certainly done that, but it is more the way he has done it that has impressed. He employs a range of strategies to develop my playing. Most frequently and effectively used is the online computer facilities. Sometimes I can even keep up with the original band. He is a professional teacher who has both the knowledge and the practical experience to help in my goal. He has, for years, played in a band. His approach is based on what I want and what I need to become better. And he does it with a patient, flexible approach. Thanks Paul, as I continue to develop my skills and repertoire. Less
