Dan Caleb. "I've been studying with David for a year and my guitar playing has improved unbelievably. Not only is he an amazing guitarist but he is extremely knowledgeable and my lessons are one of the highlights of my week." Mark Callingham "I have been a student of David Rollins for seven months. Since beginning my studies my playing proficiency and musical knowledge of the guitar has dramatically improved. David Rollins is a man of impeccable character and musical talent who teaches the guitar with exceptional professionalism and enthusiasm. He has become my mentor and friend and is a man for whom I have total respect. I have benefited from David..s lessons which reflect his mastery of the guitar and his accomplished musical career." Mark Sawyer "I have known David for five years both in a professional capacity and as a friend. He is a musician and guitarist of outstanding talent and taught pupils at my school for six months during which time he earned the popularity and respect of both pupils and staff, and left behind him a legacy of enthusiasm for the electric guitar which has continued ever since. David is an honest and hard working musician and I have no hesitation in recommending him." Miss N. M. Wingrove GRSM (Hons), Dip RCM "Dave Rollins has been tutoring my son to play electric guitar for approx 10 months. We have found him to be reliable and friendly teacher. He has assessed Michael's knowledge and is now building his playing and theoretical ability towards musical grades. Throughout their work together Dave has developed and maintained a trusting and professional relationship with my son." Sandra Alexander "I am a complete newcomer to the world of the guitar, however it has been something that I have wanted to do for many years, but have always lacked the confidence. My wife bought me a guitar for Christmas and a tuition book. After the first two pages it seemed so complicated that I wondered if I would be able to go any further, so I decided to give private lessons a go. After my first meeting with David, he not only boosted my confidence, but also fired my enthusiasm and passion for the guitar further. He simplifies the lessons so much that I learnt more in the first four lessons with him than I ever imagined. In my opinion, David..s knowledge and natural teaching ability are the best guitar accessories you could buy!." George Barcoe "After trying to teach myself the guitar by ear, and reading books for many years, I despaired. Having decided to have lessons, I thought that not being able to read music would be a drawback. David Rollins immediately boosted my confidence, introducing to me to the tablature method. I can now play fifty songs. David is a perfect teacher, his patience and professional skill are exemplary. I now regard David as a good friend and I recommend him as an excellent tutor." Ray Coombes "I have only been taught by David for a short while but in this time I have improved dramatically, and my whole outlook on guitar has changed. Not only is he a great guitarist, he has a great knowledge of the guitar and is also a great tutor and good friend. So if you really want to learn how to play the guitar, then this is the best person to learn from….. Don’t forget to look at the rest of his site it is really cool".I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
