CGS is a treasure mine of actually… CGS is a treasure mine of actually applicable material. I began the course several months ago and I find it to be very thorough and well structured, unlike other programs I researched which are less so. CGS suits me well, not only because Alan teaches step by step in levels that cover precisely what I need in order to progress, but the real gem is his attention to detail, especially how we interact and use our attention while practicing. I could almost say his is a "from the inside out" approach. I never, ever feel I'm wasting a second of my valuable time.

Outstanding course Outstanding course. I tried another before CGS and it was not as supportive or friendly. Allen's videos are outstanding and full of advice. The support team is great, with emails, video chat opportunities are amazing. You can progress at your own pace, and go back to review previous courses at any time. I even have an accountability partner, who is like a friend I have know for a long time.

Classical Guitar Shed right place for retiree I am a retiree and the Classical Guitar Shed has provided me with just the right place to learn and develop classical guitar skills at my own pace. Allen's course materials and videos are well presented. His explanations and demonstrations are clear and easy to follow. Anyone, not just retirees, wishing to play the classical guitar should consider the Classical Guitar Shed. You will be pleased! By the way, my wife is a retired teacher. As the room I practice in is also her sewing room, she has frequently listened in as I progress through the CGS program levels. She has told me that Allen's teaching techniques and abilities are those of an exemplary teacher.

A clear and well graded programme to… A clear and well graded programme to work through. Allen's videos are clear, detailed and lively. The support system is excellent too - you can submit videos of your playing to be reviewed by Zac who is never anything other than encouraging and detailed in his review, and then there are the open mic and Q&A sessions. Help is always available at the end of an email and further encouragement from the members' FB page.
