”I was carrying a lifelong wish to become a RockStar. I joined Austin‘s guitar classes when I first moved to Ireland about 4 years ago and even though I have not yet become a rockstar, it has been a very joyous journey.With all the issues an older student faces with time, self doubt etc in learning guitar, Austin has supported and motivated me. He also gives great advice on the right kind of equipment to have and has helped source hard to get items by scouring the internet on my behalf. He is my friend, teacher and mentor.” – Anish, Oct. 2023
“My son has been taking lessons with Austin for about 5 years now. Austin is a fantastic teacher and instills a love of guitar in his pupils. My son always enjoys going to his lessons and his confidence in both guitar and himself has grown tremendously. He plays his guitar because he wants to and its his go to when he feels stressed. I couldn’t recommend Austin highly enough he is an amazing teacher” – Karen, Sep. 2023
“I had been playing acoustic guitar for a few years, but was looking to upskill by taking on some lead electric guitar.
Austin was fantastic in guiding me through techniques that I could not have learned from any online course.
My level of playing has increased massively since then, concentrating on blues guitar mainly.
I am still taking classes to this day and would highly recommend his class to anyone looking to learn any genre of guitar!” – Lee, Sep. 2023

“Austin is able to break down any song into a playable format that is easy for a beginner to understand and practice. He is also able to intuit what types of music would appeal to his students. He has taught me everything from blues, country, rock to pop. ” – Taryn, age 40
“Austin is a great teacher, he listens to your ideas about what songs you would like to learn. He makes the lessons fun too” – Poppy, age 13
“Austin is very keen that your child is enjoying the lessons as much as he wants their technique to be good. My daughter has been with Austin doing guitar now for 5 years. He has a lovely relaxed teaching manner and my daughter always enjoys her lessons. I am very happy to recommend Austins guitar lessons to anyone that is looking to try guitar out. ” – Sandra, Poppy’s mom
“My son has been taking lessons with Austin for 5 years and has been such a part of his musical education. He guides his taste and gives his total control over his music choices, and has given him a real love of music which will last a lifetime. He doesn’t practice guitar because he has to, he sits on his bed and plays each day because he enjoys it. Austin is an amazing teacher and have come to consider him a friend, and so has my son.” – Audrey, Sep. 2023
“I’m an adult learning to play guitar. I started with Austin learning some easy guitar chords and now I can play a handful of songs! Whoop! Austin is a great guitar teacher and good craic, he always makes the session fun! I have passed his details onto others already! Don’t miss out take that next step and commence your new guitar journey! You won’t regret it!!!!”- Linda from Dublin 5
“I’ve been coming to Austin for about 3 months now after 2 years of trying to teach myself and I was amazed at how quickly I’ve progressed since joining. He was able to pick up on bad habits that were causing the problems I’d been having and suggest simple solutions and exercises to correct these and make my playing sound a lot more professional. I would say the thing I enjoy most about doing lessons with Austin is that he really focuses on what you want to do whether it be what songs you want to learn or what element of playing or theory you want to improve. If your looking for someone who will make learning guitar enjoyable and always go the extra mile to help you out, then Austin’s your man!” – Dale, Age 21 from Dublin 13
“I’ve been doing guitar with Austin for about two and a half years. My favourite song i’ve done is paradise city by Guns’N’Roses. Austin is a great teacher and the lessons are great. I would definitely recommend doing them and they’re well worth doing.” – Luke, Age 13
“My favourite song that I’ve learned is superheroes by ‘The Script’. When I started I knew nothing about guitar or how to play, now I know lots about guitar and I know how to play my favourite songs.” – Adam, Age 10
“I’ve learned a lot of songs including ‘Super heroes’ by The Script and ‘Time of your Life’ by Greenday, I’m learning Passenger ‘Let her go’ at the moment. I really enjoy guitar with Austin. He is a really nice teacher and teaches very well. I would highly recommend Austin as a guitar teacher.” – Max, Age 14
“I always wanted to play the guitar. I put it off for lots of reasons, short of time, short fingers, short of talent. Wh
en I received a 40th birthday gift of a guitar I booked lessons with Austin and have enjoyed the journey with him from complete beginner to playing songs from Jake Bugg to Johnny Cash. Youtube is a great resource but for real progress with the mentoring needed, a professional guitar teacher is a must. I simply couldn’t have reached the level I’m currently at without Austin.” – Donal, Age 42.5
