STUDENT EXPERIENCES
Every guitarist arrives with a different background, different goals and a different relationship with the instrument. These experiences reflect what matters most at Alien Guitar Secrets: deeper understanding, greater confidence, creative freedom and meaningful progress.
FEATURED STUDENT EXPERIENCE
After just a few sessions with Rob I felt like the guitar had revealed itself to me as a brand new instrument. Patterns and shapes jumped out at me, and I started to really understand the logic of the fretboard.
Today I feel as though I can confidently break down almost anything and understand the underlying musical logic, as well as craft licks and melodies over the top.
STUDENT VOICES
Rob is one of the best instructors I've ever known or had. He teaches in such a way that inspires and brings out the best in people's abilities, turning mistakes into learning opportunities and taking knowledge of the guitar to a deeper level.
My weekly lesson with Rob is one of the most enjoyable times in the week. He challenges me to develop further in both theory and playing technique, and has given me confidence to play live.
Instead of teaching me to memorise chords and leads, Rob taught me to discover the joy in the instrument. He opens up the guitar like a book that you can read and understand like never before.
Rob has a talent for setting up environments in which you can discover for yourself the lessons he has prepared. His ability to create learning-by-doing makes the process both interesting and fun.
In four months I gained the knowledge to tackle solos that I would never have dreamt I could achieve. Rob shares his wealth of guitar knowledge with patient, supportive care.
Now I'm writing songs with solos, I can work out songs on the radio by ear and have daily epiphanies on how to improve my technique. Best thing I ever did for myself.
Thanks for helping me move forward and be more honest with my songwriting and what I want to achieve. Thanks for being so patient and helping me find a way through when I block myself before I even start.
It isn't just learning chords, scales and song after song. Rob develops technique and skill while also exploring the licks, tricks and emotion needed to improvise, write and really understand the guitar.
PARENTS & YOUNGER PLAYERS
“Our 9-year-old son has been having weekly lessons from Rob for nearly a year. Rob understands how to teach him — not only guitar, but also a love for music. He is incredibly patient, and our son always wants to go to his lessons.”
“Rob has encouraged, supported and facilitated my daughter in letting her creativity flow. Since having lessons with Rob she has not only learnt to play guitar, but has also gained confidence and self-esteem.”
