Coda Guitar Testimonals

"The layout and navigation is straightforward and I like the overall design of the site. The graded lessons concept is fantastic and the access to buy songs is a great idea for progression. A great resource for guitarists of any level."
C McEvoy Course Leader BTEC Level 3 Leeds College of Music UK

"I particularly like the schools package which could be good for those students who are really keen to learn but haven't got a teacher. I think teachers could even use the site with groups in the classroom as an introduction to guitar playing. The lessons seem easy to follow, and the links to Rockschool standards show how the site can benefit those already learning guitar. I like the clear structure of the lessons, particularly for beginners, with focus on posture, riffs etc...makes it clear and easy for learners to choose what to work on. "

"The coda guitar website is a comprehensive teaching tool. Professional and easy to use, I look forward to using it both with my students at home and in schools. Aside from the quality of tuition, carefully structured to provide both challenge and security, the site offers real potential for key stage 4 music pupils as a source of evidence for performance diaries. The best site of it's type I have seen. "

"Sebastian has been using the website and has been getting on really well with it. He has found it easy to follow especially the clear demonstrations of the different chord shapes and strumming patterns. The site looks great, I might even have to try it myself when I get the time!"
Tristan, brother of Sebastian Barlow age 11 UK

"The Coda songs inspired me to push my playing and develop my skill. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to play the songs, but with the lessons breaking them down into simple sections I soon improved, and before long I was playing along with the backing tracks. "
Andrew Wright age 47 UK

"I found the pieces very useful in developing my Power chords, something i had struggled with in the past. As well as being very useful in improving playing the songs are also fun and interesting pieces."
Paddy Crier age 17 UK

"Thanks for the web site. I have been using it for the past few weeks and I am finding it really good. You have made it very simple for beginners like myself. I'm really enjoying the lessons, they are very clear. Once again thank you and keep up the good work"

"I've been directing students from my workshops to the coda guitar site so they can brush up on their skills each week outside of the sessions. Out of all the internet guitar sites I've seen I find the Coda site the most relevant and the easiest to use."
L Smith Creative Workshop Leader Greenmount Studios Leeds UK

"Playing tracks tailored to my ability has improved my skills, and is fun at the same time."
Colin Morris age 52 UK

"I like the mix of riffs and chords which make the songs interesting. They have helped my playing progress. "
Thomas Widdowson age 13 UK

"Coda Guitar is a great website for aspiring guitarists from absolute beginner to more experienced players. It covers all styles of music which means students will develop skills in different genres and become well rounded and informed musicians. I would highly recommend this site to all my guitar students as it covers areas of playing from posture and picking to chord shapes and fretting techniques. This also makes the site good for more advanced or self taught players as it gives them a chance to brush up on technique and iron out any bad habits they may have picked up over the years. The Tools section will also be a great addition to the site with the Tuner, Drum Machine, Chord and Scale charts. This will mean you can reference and solve questions without having to leave the site. Overall, an excellent website for guitarists. "

"We're thrilled with Luke's progress who only started 4 months ago. It has been fantastic to listen to him develop his skills, from the initial sounds to tunes in such a short space of time. He is not only playing the guitar but also beginning to read music. Luke is really enjoying his lessons. He is learning different styles at a pace which suits him, this has inspired his own taste in music."
Karen Hodgkinson parent of Luke age 11 UK

"What I find most impressive about the Coda Guitar website is the attention to detail given to techniques such as posture and how to hold a pick correctly. As a guitar tutor myself I often find that people haven't been shown these things at all by some tutors and need to "re learn" these techniques."
G Clayton Guitar Tutor Artforms Music Service Leeds UK

"The styles of the Coda Music pieces are varied and backing tracks are excellent giving me more incentive to learn them. My basic skills have really improved using these pieces. "
Elizabeth Holling age 11 UK

"Even now, as a busy working musician, being an entirely self taught guitarist, I wish I had had such a comprehensive and thorough grounding in the basics of technique and physicalities of playing the guitar when I first picked up the instrument, as it would have saved me many long hours in later years undoing the bad habits I had developed. Following the clear and simple Coda guitar lessons makes it virtually impossible to fall into these pitfalls. Thoroughly recommended. "
P Sumpter Composer Producer Session Player The Futz Butler London UK

"So far I have found the lessons wonderfully helpful - given that I am an absolute beginner and have had nothing to do with a guitar before. I have been practicing madly and reminding myself about posture whilst doing it Bottom line - I've been enjoying myself so bring it on."
Margaret Sims age 43 Australia

"Learning the beginner blues and classic rock songs enabled me to play something early on which started to sound half decent and encouraged me to keep up with the learning process. The starter guitar songs make you feel like you are playing in a band and although when you first try them it freaks you out trying to keep up, they are thoroughly enjoyable. Also learning to play along to the drum machine is extremely good. Although scary to start with it does focus your playing. "
Paul Smith age 55 UK

"The lessons are really good and interesting. The songs are challenging but fun to learn and I find that I pick it up quickly. "
Matthew Bartlam age 8 UK
