There are a lot of guitar teachers out there but how can you decide which one to chose? well the answer is simpler than you may think. To find the answer to this dilemma, you must first ask yourself what it is you want from the teacher. If you are just looking for someone to give you a few pointers and teach you a few impressive riffs or licks to show your friends then it would be a safe bet that most if not all that are advertising near you will fit the bill; however, if you are looking to be come a serious musician and have hopes of playing with other musicians or maybe having a future career as session guitarist, join a professional band or even become a teacher yourself at some point then a little research must be done in order for you to select the teacher that's right for you.
At Musical Six Strings you will be tout by a classically trained virtuoso guitar teacher. who is not only a trained musician but also a trained teacher.

Welcome to, Musical Six Strings. My name is David John Wootton; I have been in the music industry for more than 40 years. I had my first guitar at the age of 5 and instantly fell in love. I have pretty much had a guitar to hand ever since. I studied at the Handsworth College of Music in the West-Midlands for four years and went onto further education obtaining my diploma from the Open University in 1997. I have worked as a session guitarist and have a hefty number of live gigs under my belt but soon realised that the limelight was not for me. I became a teacher at the Classical Guitar Centre in Birmingham where I taught mainly classical guitar for more than ten years. I have been teaching ever since.
One thing I learned very early on, is that no two pupils are the same; all of my learning packages are built around each of my pupils unique set of requirements. The methods I use to teach are tried and tested and have been proven consistently to be the most efficient and effective within the music industry. My current student exam pass rate, which can be verified on request, is 99%, with many pupils obtaining merits and distinctions. I strive to ensure that, each of my students receive the most suitable and appropriate learning experience regardless of their current skill level or ability.
Since becoming a teacher more than 30 years ago, I have built up a good reputation within the musical community of Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield; I strive to build on this each and every day. All of my students are given a unique identification code that can only be obtained by becoming a student at my guitar academy; this ensures that any review or testimonial on this site has been entered by a genuine pupil.

Flamenco Guitar shares it's roots with Classical guitar; therefore, having a good understanding of the Classical guitar is advantageous for anyone interested in taking up this beautiful and unique style of guitar playing. In Flamenco guitar, what is done with neck hand is often closely related to the Classical guitar apart from some specialised techniques such as Ligudos and chording; the hand encompassing the body is used to drive the sound out of the guitar, at times quite robustly but always passionately, with techniques such as; picado, rasgueado, abanico, arrastre, alzapua and golpe.
As a beginner to the Flamenco Guitar we would always recommend that you take the Classical Guitar course we offer, as this will form a solid foundation and facilitate in obtaining recognized qualifications in accordance with the Trinity College of London's Guitar- Classical & Plectrum syllabus (2015-2019) in which all of the above Flamenco Techniques are covered in a well structured learning package; however, we do offer a more intensive course that is solely dedicated to the Flamenco guitar.
