About Guy – guitar tutor

Guy is a talented and dedicated guitarist who has played alongside Tim in various bands for many years. At the age of six Guy had already mastered the art of playing along to the hits of The Beatles and the Shadows - with a tennis racket. However, he had to wait until his fifteenth birthday before he got a real guitar - spurred on by seeing Ritchie Blackmore playing with Deep Purple at Birmingham Town Hall. That was in 1973 and he's still just as enthusiastic about playing guitar now. He teaches at The Musical Box and in schools for TMB and always seems to keep enthusiasm and fun in his lessons.
