Testimonials
"Timothy Reid is one of the most exciting young composers and capable technicians on the horizon." - Dave Bishea The Sound Guitar Magazine

The expressive sounds Tim manages to get out of his instrument clearly comes from the fingers, not just the gear or anything. The compositions never sound mathematical or over the top and truly inspire me to write and play myself. I Hope we get to do some work together in the near future! - Sebastiaan Corenlissen (Gary Husband, Shawn Lane, Frank Gambale, Randy Brecker, Gary Willis,)

When I first heard Timothy's music I was blown away by not only his great technique, but also how well he express his emotion through his music. You can hear that he is just not a rock player, but capable of performing different genres. I am looking forward to playing with him in the near future. Masaki Watanabe (Mike Mangini, Philip Bynoe)

Tim’s smooth tone sits beautifully on top of his well crafted songs. His fluid and well honed technique is never gratuitously used, and his ideas are conveyed in a mature and expressive way. Having watched Tim grow as a player over the last few years it’s a pleasure to hear the culmination of his work in these pieces. He’s an inspiration to the current generation of guitarists and a name to watch for the future. Gary Hudson (Leeds College of Music lecturer)


From Students:
'I've been studying with Tim for a few months now, he's enthusiastic, patient and very knowledgeable around different styles of music. More than willing to tailor lessons to suit individual needs rather than pushing his own agenda - lessons just fly by' -Graham Otley

'Tim is a great tutor, his lessons are always interesting and informative and he's helped me learn some of the theory of guitar music as well as teaching me how to play some great rock tunes. A patient and encouraging teacher, his enthusiasm for the guitar and for music in general shines through.' -Michelle Hodgson

"I have been having lessons with Tim for the past 6 months and have made excellent progress in all areas of my playing, particularly in my knowledge of theory and the application of that to drastically improve my freedom across the whole fretboard. I have played the guitar for 20+ years and have had a number of teachers along the way. I have stuck with Tim due to his exceptional knowledge, professional approach, ability to fine tune lesson material to suit my playing standard and his flexible approach to lessons which is vital given my busy day job. I would thoroughly recommend him"-Mark Howard
