Jamie taught my son for nearly three years from age 10. He was professional, encouraging, tech-savvy (software, video lessons with multiple useful camera angles) and prepared detailed feedback on video submissions. I was very impressed by his proficiency spanning different fretted instruments + genres, insistence on correct technique and posture (all sorely lacking in my son's previous teacher) and meticulous advice on fingering and alternative ways of playing a note/chord/bar. Very professional and I couldn't have asked for much more.

Jamie provides a very professional approach to teaching, and a very caring and considerate approach to his tutoring. He was able to help our son develop and hone his guitar playing skills within a very short period of time, and he designed a course of tuition that properly met our son's interests and skill level. In addition, he was very supportive when it came to various gradings which he organised. We fully recommend him as an excellent and talented teacher and mentor.

Jamie taught my daughter both in person and virtually, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the start, his patience and ability to connect with her was evident — he clearly knows how to build rapport with young learners and keep them engaged. The results speak for themselves: my daughter made more progress in just 6 months with Jamie than she had in the previous 2.5 years combined. More importantly, she developed a genuine love for playing — something no amount of practice drills can manufacture. The best indicator of a great teacher isn't test scores or recitals — it's whether a student wants to show up. My daughter looked forward to every lesson and started practicing on her own without being asked. That kind of intrinsic motivation is rare, and Jamie deserves full credit for nurturing it. If you're looking for a guitar teacher who is skilled, patient, adaptable (in-person and virtual), and truly invested in their students, look no further. Highly recommend.

Where do I begin! Mr Fekete taught me guitar from the age of around 7 to 16, during this time I can honestly say that the quality of the teaching that i received was second to none. Mr Fekete is an incredible teacher who was able to tailor the lessons to suit me and my own personal goals in learning guitar, as well as adapting how he teaches to suit my learning style. Lessons were always relaxed and fun, with an emphasis on personal development and making the process of learning enjoyable. As aforementioned, I had Mr Fekete as a teacher throughout my childhood and I feel qualified to say that his skill at teaching throughout the years was brilliant, and he is an extremely effective teacher for students of any age. If you want to learn in a safe, comfortable and constructive environment, this is the perfect teacher for you! In the 8 or so years since i have finished lessons i have kept up guitar (on and off!) casually alongside a busy lifestyle, and I can say that the skills I learnt ha

Jamie taught myself & my son to play the guitar with lessons at our home. As a very talented guitarist himself he still pitches his teaching at the appropriate level and pace for our different levels of ability. Lessons were well judged and fun and Jamie would always find a great piece for you to practise that matches your musical interests. Highly recommend.

Jamie taught my son guitar between the ages of 7 and 10 and I would recommend him without hesitation. He was a patient, engaging and versatile teacher who was always ready to change tack if a particular approach wasn't working. Unfailingly enthusiastic, he made lessons great fun whilst still encouraging my son to challenge himself. An excellent teacher.

My son had guitar lessons with Jamie for a few years as a child/young teenager and absolutely loved it. He achieved brilliant results in several classical exams but, more than that, Jamie’s patience and enthusiasm really boosted my son’s love for the guitar and he still plays regularly as a young adult both on his own for relaxation and also at family events and on other occasions for entertainment.

I started learning guitar with Mr Fekete at young age. As a newcomer to the instrument he made me feel at ease and I never felt out of my depth. Mr Fekete is a fun and interesting teacher who balances his lessons incredibly well. He cares deeply for all of his students and he balances fun and practice exceptionally. Not only me, but my friends with different tastes and experiences have enjoyed learning in his company.

Jamie has been an excellent tutor for our son who started off his guitar classes with him. He provided him with a firm foundation and his classes which included videos were really helpful in practising post-class. He has high expectations from his students but is kind and recognises that not all students are the same. Would highly recommend him to any student wanting to learn how to play the guitar!

Jamie taught our son guitar, from around aged 8 and for several years. He also led a Guitar Sinfonia that our son was later a member of. He's a wonderful teacher! Jamie's expertise is beyond question - he will go through all the formal work to get grades - but he also has a brilliant talent for making learning music accessible, interesting & fun. With children this is often the key to getting them hooked and keeping them interested. I recommend Jamie absolutely & with no hesitation at all. 10/10!

I am extremely grateful for the wonderful experience our 10-year-old son had learning the guitar with Jamie. Although the lessons were conducted online, he was incredibly engaging and made each session enjoyable and interactive. My son developed strong foundational guitar skills and gained confidence in his playing. One of the highlights was being introduced to an ensemble, where he had the opportunity to play regularly with others — such a valuable and motivating experience. He was always patient, punctual, and supportive, creating a positive learning environment that really helped our son progress. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and talented guitar tutor.

Jamie is a kind, patient teacher. I had lessons with him some time ago throughout my Trinity College London classical guitar gradings. He was particular about tone and posture which gave me a real technical foundation. He also brought genuine feeling out of the pieces I was learning, his passion for the instrument was clear and made the lessons feel like a shared experience. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Jamie is an great guitar teacher and is a phenomenal musician. He guided me through my grade 5 Rock and Pop, helping me to achieve the best mark possible. His technical skill, stylistic range, and deep musical understanding make him the kind of teacher who can demonstrate something flawlessly, then break it down in a way that feels completely accessible. Whether he’s showing you a complex riff, guiding you through chord theory, or helping you refine your tone and improvisation his playing is consistently inspiring. Jamie is patience, never rushes or makes you feel self-conscious, and always meets you exactly where you are. He has a calm, steady way of teaching that turns challenges into manageable steps, and he celebrates progress (big or small) with genuine enthusiasm. That patience creates a learning environment where you feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and growing at your own pace.

I am an adult learner with a decent knowledge of playing the guitar but Jamie unpicked my bad habits and put me on the path to a deeper understanding of what to do. That input in my opinion was priceless. Very adaptable with his lessons and in many instances he would change the lesson to suit my needs and moods. He encourages you to develop your own style and encourages innovation and enquiry. I could go on but I only have very good things to say about Jamie's teaching style and lessons

His teaching style is flexible, allowing me to stay motivated despite my busy work and family life. Moreover, his clear explanations of new techniques break down complex concepts, boosting my confidence and skills.

Jamie taught My son and daughter. He was so passionate about what he was doing. He taught them both at primary school and privately. Encouraged my son to further his experience and love for music by placing him in local ensembles and studying for music theory. I found his approach very chilled yet with obvious desire for them to succeed and progress. My son is an avid music enthusiast now and his music appreciation spans decades and I put this down to what he experienced with Jamie’s lessons and music choices, also spanning a wide genre. You are in good , experienced and gentle hands.

Even in the midst of strenuous GCSE preparations this year, our son always looks forward to the guitar lessons and, in fact, finds playing the guitar a great stress buster. As parents, we are very grateful to Jamie for the positive impact he has had on our son.

Jamie has taught my 2 boys for over 10 years, taking the oldest all the way through to grade 6 and I honestly could not have chosen a better teacher. He teaches with enthusiasm, and is keen for students to enjoy their music and understand how to play. He adapts to their needs, musical interests and personalities, varying between doing grades, fun pieces or music of their choice, including Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Coldplay - he can turn his hand to anything they request, and is imaginative to maintain their interests, getting to know them and what makes them tick! Whether online or face to face, he motivates and supports them. When they have done grades, we have been confident that they would do well under his guidance as he teaches so well. My kids really like Mr Fekete and this is worth its weight in gold as I remember not being very keen on my music teacher as a child!! As a parent, I’ve always found him to be friendly and approachable. I would absolutely recommend J

He has a gift for working with different age groups and keeps lessons exciting by creating interactive games that makes practicing feel like play. ?As a parent with zero musical background, I am so grateful for how he goes above and beyond to support me and the student —whether it's sending custom video tutorials, teaching me how to restring the guitar! or guiding us through exam prep.

He is also very friendly, kind and encouraging and gives useful feedback, so I never feel daft when I make mistakes. I can personally recommend Jamie for adults and can imagine he must be great for younger people too.
