 "My 6 yo son has been having guitar lessons with Charlie since the end of 2019 and I'm amazed at the progress he's made. Charlie is really natural with him, making lessons fun and engaging and bringing out the best in Henry. I'm always concerned he won't last the hour at the end of the school day but Charlie's encouragement really spurs him on.
And now we're in lockdown we've moved to lessons over Zoom which are just as productive!"

"Brilliant stuff from my son Teddy's guitar teacher #CharlieHodgsonGuitarTutoring. I cannot recommend Charlie enough, Teddy has come on in leaps and bounds since joining Charlie last year, especially learning all the classic Oasis tracks!  Charlie is a great teacher. The lessons are fun, interactive and well paced. Teddy is really enjoying learning his favourite Oasis songs! "

Charlie's classes have been great. My 10 year old son loves them. I was apprehensive about distance online classes for music, but it's working so well! I'd highly recommend him!

Another fantastic remote guitar lesson in progress...Charlie is so patient & shares his knowledge so brilliantly!”

"Lockdown gave me a chance to pick up the guitar that I bought a couple of years ago and never had a chance to try. Charlie’s Skype lessons have been brilliant - he is so patient and encouraging. My daughter who was already learning at school really liked Charlie and wanted to learn with him too. Having never seen her practice at home, it was so great to watch her picking up her guitar every day and enjoying practicing. Thank you Charlie! 🙏🏻"

 "I would highly recommend guitar lessons with Charlie Hodgson. He is very experienced, having played in various bands and been teaching for some time,  and he has a natural way of teaching which you don’t find often.  He does fantastic online lessons too which work really well. Definitely worth giving him a try, whether you’re young or old. "

" I bought my dad guitar lessons as a fathers day present for me and him to do together. Charlie was so patient and helpful. He made the lesson fun as well! So much so, we both have carried on. When lockdown started he did the classes online through zoom which really do work.

Charlie has great communication, extremely talented and just all round a lovely person. We both love our lessons."

" Charlie is a fantastic guitar teacher to my 7 year old son. He knows what makes him tick, keeps him engaged, makes the lessons fun and has really got him hooked on playing. He also made the transition to online lessons in lockdown and it's working brilliantly. I can't recommend him highly enough. "

Steve Nelhams, 62

“I’m 62, got a guitar about 3 weeks ago been sat in a room quietly strumming away , on Wednesday I had an hour lesson with Charlie WOW no more quietly for me , I don’t kid myself I’m any good but now I’m confident thanks Charlie.”

Keith Sammels

"Charlie is a great teacher. I have some experience (plenty of bad habits) of playing and Charlie has been really adaptable in his teaching style to make my lessons enjoyable for me. I have also seen him teach a younger member of my family and have marvelled at his patience. Good player, good guy."

Charlotte Clempson, 9 year old daughter

"Charlie is a fantastic teacher for my 9 year old daughter she loves her lessons with him and is always beaming after every lesson! I am amazed how much she can play and how much support he gives, even outside the lessons he is more than willing to help. Would reccomend him to everyone!"

John Brooks

"I've known Charles for many years and he is passionate about playing the guitar and just as passionate when he teaches people. I am not a natural guitar player but Charles is a patient teacher and I am very pleased with my progress."

Sarah Pullen & son

“Charlie has been teaching my 14 year old son for about 6 months. The improvement has been amazing and my son can’t wait until his next lesson. Such a talented musician - would highly recommend.”


Mitchel Lowe

"What a talent and such a patient instructor, so helpful over video and in person. Absolutely amazing, patient and a pleasure to learn with. Couldn't recommend more highly."

Rosemary Hansen, 10 year old son

"Charlie makes all the lessons fun, while teaching so much. My son loves them and it's been brilliant that Charlie encourages him to play real songs of his choice! We don't have to ask him to practice as he loves performing his newest material for us!"

Hannah Alley

"Charlie is amazing at what he does, he is an extremely talented musician and teacher and has a lot of patience with you, always focusing on the songs you want to play but gets you up to speed on all of the theory knowledge too! He has a super friendly approachable way. 100% recommend."


Waseem Ali

"Charlie is brilliant at teaching guitar. He's so patient and really is passionate about making you play (even when you are as bad as me!) I really do recommend Charlie for guitar lessons."

Lisa Westwood, 15 year old daughter

"My 15 year old daughter is on lesson 5 now with Charlie, haven't seen her this enthusiastic about anything in ages! She's loving her lessons and I'm astounded by how quickly she is learning. Charlie has really inspired her.  The lessons are the highlight of her week! Can't recommend Charlie enough! Thank you so much Charlie."

Chris Taylor



I am a self taught guitarist but after many years of locking my guitar away, my partner brought me some lessons which I never had before. Straight away Charlie has made me feel very comfortable with my style of play and working towards the direction where I would like to be and more.
Such a great listener and very very patient, he has relit a flame that had slowly gone out.

I’ve only had a handful of lessons online so far but look forward to more with Charlie ( hopefully in person) in the foreseeable future.
With out a doubt great for all ages.
Such professionalism from a knowledgeable guy about what he loves doing!

Hayley Button, 12 year old son

Archie is 12 he had never had a guitar lesson before but was very excited to start lessons with Carlie.

Charlie made Archie feel at ease really quickly, he was really thorough at ensuring that Archie was comfortable before beginning the lesson.
He went through the importance of Archie feeling comfortable with the position of his guitar.
Archie plays with a Left handed Guitar, Charlie explained for Archie how best to be set himself up for when he is practicing on his own.

Archie had a lot of questions and requests, which Charlie took all in his stride. He took time to explain things at Archie’s level.

Charlie describes and breaks down the learning process’s very clearly, patiently and precisely. At the same time keeping Archie engaged and checking in with Archie as they go along.

As the lesson progressed Charlie quickly got a feel for what was going to further engage Archie, from a particular song that Archie mentioned to him a few times. Charlie played this to Archie and went through some important information regarding this piece.

I really like that Charlie uses the individuals interest in music taste/pieces. It shows the he is able to be flexible with the lesson plan and go with the flow of the client to keep them as fully engaged as possible.

Between lessons Charlie offers support replying to messages quickly and is keen to find out how Archie is getting on with the pieces he’s practicing.
If a session needs to be rearranged either way, Charlies is very accommodating and flexible.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlie to anyone what ever age wishing to learn the Guitar.

Janettie, 11 year old son

Charlie stepped in after Jamie (11 years old) lost his love for playing classical guitar. Jamie did not want to practice for hours and he needed something that was less structured and flexible. He took to Charlie’s approach fo teaching straight away and enjoys his lessons. It is fun and current. Thanks Charlie!
