Testimonials
Simon Powis is at the vanguard of classical guitar pedagogy. By following his various repertoire and technique books in addition to his courses, one can build a solid classical guitar foundation and much more.
I have been using and recommending his scales and arpeggio book for a couple of years now and find it to be one of the very best available.
Simon presents all the material with great enthusiasm, clarity and authority. He is the rare combination of a virtuoso guitarist and a thoughtful forward thinking pedagogue. – Ben Verdery, Yale University
Thanks Simon for these great lessons. They are absolutely valuable for beginners like my self. In this part of the world I’m living in it is hard to find a proper trainer for Classical guitar lessons. Thanks again and we are really grateful to you. – Priyal
Thank for this very excellent course. Now I can explore the super highway of music and know where I am going. A musical road map is a must so I will not feel lost and I have gained from this knowledge. I will take more lessons as I grow. – Lawrence
Completing this lesson has given me a real sense of achievement. Not only because it is the last lesson in the course but because it has really given me the ability to at last get the emotion and feeling I have been wanting to put into my performances that I haven’t been able to do before. Regardless of how easy or hard the piece is I can now transmit what I feel when I play the piece to the person who is listening to it. – Tony
I wanted to thank you for CGC. I think It’s the best CG teaching website on the net. Your ideas are so clear and concise…and very reassuring. I am so impressed by your artistry and technique, but at the same time, not at all intimidated…only inspired. You’re a wonderful teacher. I have introduced two of my students to you website and they’re hooked! – Gary
I have been concentrating on Practice Pass one week along with individual pieces of repertoire and then Technical Routines the next week along with my repertoire and I am amazed at how I am advancing on the repertoire. Switching it up but spending enough time on the drills/practice exercises is paying off big dividends…thank you Simon. – John
