John is always willing to take the time to help, just look at all the time he has spent helping others He is one class act! - DGEBanjo
John genuinely wants to help people not only play the banjo but to understand it. What little I do know about playing backup is solely because if him. He has no ego and wants you to succeed. Anyone would be lucky to benefit from his skill and knowledge. - picKen
Thirty bucks an hour for banjo lessons face to face with John Boulding is a steal!! This is a bargain people! - BanjoFlyboy
John is a great, patient teacher who has helped immensely in my banjo playing journey. - Yard Onion
John has been a great friend both here in the virtual world and the real world and I can tell ya his passion for teaching/helping exists no matter where he's "Got Banjo". His LOTW videos are only in part testament to this for Ive witness him helping many on the BHO Chat including myself with Little Rock Getaway and other cool swing tunes. This is no "Cookie Cutter" instructor like so many Ive seen over the yrs.John will get inside that brain of yours and find whats makin you tick, then base your journey on whats gonna work for you! Yeah, Im proud to call him friend and highly recommend his instruction! - John Kuhn
John's deep understanding of traditional bluegrass banjo playing is well known here at the hangout. His lick of the week contributions have been invaluable for players at all levels. He is a generous and caring teacher who sincerely cares about helping all his students. If you are interested in bluegrass banjo, I would highly recommend John as a teacher - Couchie
John's love for the banjo and his skills are truely understood by all here on the Hangout. His contributions do not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated and I have only had positive experiences and great fun when exposed to John and his playing skills. One of the greats here for sure. John has earned respect in the banjo world and rightly so. - dgill
I started playing banjo 6 months ago and recently found John on the Hangout. I have learned more from him in 2 hours than I have from anywhere else in the last 6 months! His teaching method is outstanding as he puts everything in a context that is easy to understand. He is already filling my banjo "toolbox" up with so many tools that I can use at my weekly jam that I just can't wait to get there next week and start trying them out! If you want to learn to truly play the banjo this is the guy for you! - bmorgan42175

If you read John's 'More about me' section, you will know what to expect. He teaches exactly as he describes here. You will come away with a well-rounded foundation and the technical tools to continue your banjo journey.
He provides you a framework which will allow you to continue to learn and place into context what you run into long after your lessons are complete. - bluejazz
There are many good teachers but in my opinion john is the best. His skills are great and his ability to teach makes for the best combination available. - kprince
