I enjoyed my lessons very much and looked forward to everyone as I would be playing stuff that I listened to which meant it spurred me on to learn more stuff developing my skills excellently. Russ would know when to take me to the next stage and would always set me a challenge that I would eventually get to. Great teacher." Thomas Eaton, Kidsgrove

When I wanted to learn playing guitar I turned to Russ by recommendation. The lessons were well structured and built around what I wanted from the lessons and we went from there. I was motivated to do the practice in between lessons and could see my progress. I would highly recommend Russ as a teacher, instructor or mentor. Very relaxed style and easy to relate to and understand

Russ has been teaching my daughter guitar since march 2016. I am extremely proud on how fast she has progressed with Russ. Nothing is ever too much for Russ he explains everything. My daughter has dyslexia so for her to learn should a fantastic skill so quickly tells you a lot about the teacher. I highly recommend Russ. He is a fantastic teacher. My daughter is learning grading via Russ such an achievement and something to feel so proud about. Thank you Russ! It's very much appreciated!

Russ is my fourth guitar tutor and I have to say the best, his years of experience and relaxed atmosphere all adds to an hour of enjoyment. I have electric guitar lessons with him and come away with another chapter of guitar knowledge each time, he covers everything from guitar set up, effects, licks, different styles, music theory, how to get the best sound out of your guitar and many other skills required to play music. For me the fact that I feel relaxed not intimidated during the lesson is a massive advantage, you can't play correctly if your nervous and tense, would highly recommend.

Friendly and down to earth, and most importantly, able to play and teach all styles of playing. I was already able to play a little, and with Russ' tuition made really rapid progress - impressive results. Totes recommended!

Russ is a top bloke. He has real patience and displays a genuine interest in helping me progress. I've been attending lessons for acoustic guitar with Russ for a couple of months now. I am progressing at a rate I didn't expect. There have been a number of times I've found Russ's experience and insight so, so useful. I'll be sticking this out for the long term in full knowledge and confident that I have found a great local tutor and a person I enjoy spending time with learning something so rewarding. Carl Bennet
I have tried to teach myself to play for a few years but got knowhere, I have had lessons from Russ for three months I am now seeing results and enjoying practicing.

Hi, anyone wanting to learn or improve their guitar need not look any further than Russ. He is knowledgeable, patient, friendly and most importantly a excellent guitar tutor. Always willing to go that extra mile to help. Highly recommended. Steve
Can't recommend Russ enough, after just one month my playing has dramatically improved. Definitely the go to guy if you need a boost in your skills. Ian Belgian, Tunstall
I have had several guitar lessons with Russ over the past few months and definitely intend to continue. The experience I receive with Touch Strings, I find, is one that has been tailored to my own requirements, based on my limited experience and capabilities. Russ has a warm and welcoming nature about him, combined with a wealth of knowledge and experience which he has not doubt gained over the years. Every lesson I've had has been given in his own professional yet relaxed manner which is a credit to him. Folks.... Russ is the "go to" guy in Stoke on Trent for guitar tuition. Best I've experienced.

I am a total beginner at the age of 56 having always wanted to learn to play the guitar. I could not have chosen a more suitable teacher in Russ he is patient and enthusiastic and the atmosphere is totally relaxed. I am pleasantly surprised at my progress so far. Russ is an excellent teacher and I would totally recommend anyone to give Touch Strings a try you will not be disappointed.Mark Litherland
Russ is a great teacher and a really nice guy. He puts you at ease and makes the informal lessons enjoyable. He is a fine guitarist in many styles and has the ability to inspire improvement.Alan Matthews
