Hi, my name is John Wallace, a pro guitar player/tutor based in South London
I moved to London in '89 and studied for a while at what was then the newly opened Guitar Institue in Acton which was great fun but also a bit of a shock for a country boy from Scotland!
Since then I've had the honour of playing with some great musicians, gained a truckload of experience, got married (once) and became a dad (twice!)
Now I spend my days teaching the greatest instrument ever made, playing guitar for other people (occasionally for myself) and being a dad.
If you're looking for a seasoned, inventive guitar player that won't eat all the biscuits, look no further.
If you need someone to raise your children, look somewhere else!!
Thanks mate, always nice to get positive comments from fellow musicians.. Funnily enough, until this year i lived about 2 mins walk from the Acton guitar school. Best wishes, milt
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
