Star Student – Mike Sullivan
As you all know, spring has been a strange ole time at JK Guitar. I was overwhelmed by the dedication from all of my students as lessons became virtual due to COVID-19. One in particular has lead the pack as he developed his lead playing and phrasing to perfection during this crazy time. Mike has been destroying backing tracks with sweet soulful r ...
Star Student – Jacob Lafever
Jacob has been with JK Guitar for just over a year. On his first session, he walked through the door and unleashed his breath taking vocals upon the studio. He then told me he wanted his guitar playing to match his vocals! Fair play, challenge accepted. Jacob didn’t know his fretboard and struggled with bar chords… He is now reading complex chord charts (Grade 8) and being able to work out any chord I write in front of him. Outstanding effort. All of this now added to his natural singer songwriter ability is dangerous!
Jacob recently released his debut single ‘Dreamer’. Give it a listen, its an absolute cracker!
Give his facebook a cheeky like too!

We’ve worked hard on various lead techniques to help improve ...

Star Student – Lauren Morton
Lauren is from my hometown ‘Newcastle, England’. She has been taking lessons via Skype since January and the improvement has been incredible. Starting with open chords and simple strumming patterns, she smashed onto bar chords (Including 7th chords) and now she is playing lead. This shot is from the intro to strangers in the night which ...
Star Student – Andrew Adams
January brought an influx of new students, all with different levels, abilities and goals. The competition for SOTM is really heating up! Andrew managed to snatch it through his dedication to practice. It’s very clear to me that he is taking the information provided, and working hard on it in his own time.
