We really enjoyed The Guitar Dojo guitar school. Brent is such a fantastic teacher and has a calm, friendly and positive approach to teaching. He provides a great blend of foundation and technique which is easy to follow and then fun to implement using modern music. He has a wealth of experience as a teacher but also as a natural guitarist himself.
For over 4 years I've had Brent at The Guitar Dojo giving me guitar and music lessons. I cannot articulate how amazing his teachings have been. He has a unique ability to personalise and tailor lessons to fit my abilities to both give me confidence and feel improvement weekly but also to test me. Cannot recommend The Guitar Dojo enough.
Brent is an amazing teacher !! He’s teaching my son ukelele and his progress is amazing. He is always kind, ready to help any time we struggle with something. We have a chat on their app which we can communicate with him and he spends extra time to send us links or videos on this app.
I've had the pleasure of spending the last year with Brent and the team at Guitar Dojo and couldn't be happier with my experience. Brent is an amazing teacher and better yet an amazing human being, his passion and dedication to guitar and music carries through into his work, the amount of effort he puts in to making sure that I've always have the support I need is phenomenal.

FLEXIBLE
Hey, if you're starting from zero - like holding a guitar for the first time - then Guitar Kickstart is perfect. We include our primer course (Guitar Headstart) to walk you through the absolute basics step by step . No prior knowledge needed and plenty of support available. You will have played your first riff by the end of your first week.
Many of our best students started as complete beginners. Having a clean slate is actually a big advantage - no bad habits to unlearn!
Like thousands of aspiring guitarists (back in the 80s -yikes!) I too felt the isolation between lessons - misplaced papers, frustration building and questions piling up for next week. That time continues to shape my teaching philosophy to this day.
When The Guitar Dojo was founded in 2018, I created a hybrid approach: personal guidance plus cutting edge tech: an app for content and messaging, interactive tabs and real time support. Just a year later TechGuide referenced us in "Learning Guitar Made Easier."
When COVID hit we pivoted seamlessly online – retaining 90%+ of students over 2 years in Melbourne (the world's most locked down city.) This success planted the seeds of Guitar Kickstart.
We also heard from busy professionals like you: eager for lessons but blocked by rigid schedules, high costs, or life in general . Those conversations fueled our vision for the ultimate guitar learning ecosystem.
In 2026 Guitar Kickstart was born for you : Our proven approach fully online, delivering premium support, interactive tools and community to those that traditional lessons overlook. Affordable. Flexible. Tailored to your lifestyle.
– Brent Lyons, Founder & Lead Guitar Teacher (Melbourne, Australia).
