Cut to the chase, Excellent . Very informative with clear instructions and support to guide you through guitar set ups and maintenance. Packed with knowledge and experience put across in a no stones unturned approach to details. I highly recommend this course for personal or pursuit.
The value is excellent, the knowledge and experience equally so.
I know Kevin personally, and who in the past has worked and supervised other students (Llew) to do a professional setup on my guitar which was top notch. It’s proof that Kevin has the experience and knowledge to instill his skills in a complete novice at the time to attain a professional standard.
You will not be disappointed, and I highly recommend Skill up and break free course. Superb! What are waiting for? A great string to any Musicians Bow 💯

Excellent course
