Tyrone’s Words

Tyrone also published the following post to a few of his personal social media platforms:

“Who would have thought at the tender age 19 handing out flyers in Randburg armed with a dream and, my Sony Walkman, that in 2016 we would operate in most major metros, teach people online from all over the world and launch video guitar lessons to reach even more people. The journey has been amazing, challenging and f#@king hard work! They say great things are done by individuals by I must say it takes a team to really mess things up ;)…”

He then continued to thank all his colleagues, employees, role models and personal friends and family who have helped him and Guitar Excellence get to where it is today.

He ended of the post with the following Russian Proverb: “If you don’t take risks you don’t drink champagne”
