There has never been a time when I haven’t enjoyed one of John’s guitar lessons. John is friendly, funny and accommodating and the classes are always up close and personal; even more so because he seems to enjoy the classes just as much as the student. He inspires, encourages and keeps you interested in your guitar playing. I’ve never left one of his lessons wanting to do anything other than play guitar. He’s willing to teach you to play anything from Frank Sinatra to Slipknot to Justin Beiber and anything in between. (Although getting him to teach you Justin Beiber might require some nagging). All jokes aside, John Dierckx is an excellent down to earth teacher and I have never had better.

John is a really nice teacher and when I was sad he helped me and comforted me. He is a really nice teacher and helps me to learn to play the guitar. If anyone wanted to play guitar I would recommend John because he is the best!!!

John has been teaching me guitar for only a short time. I find him very easy to communicate with and learn from. If he thinks I am having a difficulty in absorbing stuff he doesn’t push me too far. I have learned a lot in a short time from him and I put it down to his easy going attitude and his ability to keep your attention during a lesson.
I enjoy my lessons every Friday and hope John will be able to keep tutoring me for a good while yet.Thank you

Nice geetar licks John! Keep up the good work in your jazz trio and keep recording your live stuff and post it here, k? We love it.

You chord melodies are really cool. Your playing reminds me very much of Joe Pass, who I’m sure you probably listen to a lot. After all, you can’t really play solo jazz guitar without being influenced by him. I can also hear that you have your own style too. So far I’ve only scratched the surface, since you have a ton of music on here, but I look forward to hearing more. Brian Healey
Aye papa! First of all, thank you for comin back to my board! It’s means a lot to me! Second of all, that cry of love take 1 is amazing, you captured so many different emotions on different levels. Stay tearin up the chords. *Rispetto

If you walked into a cafe and met you would you recognize you? Most people wouldn’t. John my dear friend for several years is one rare individual who does know exactly who he is and what he is capable of doing. All the best John,
