Christian Smith

I’ve played guitar for almost 10 years as both a solo artist and in bands. I’m confident in all genres but specialise in modern math rock, Neo soul and metal.

I’m a big advocate for ear training and learning to play along to what you hear. My approach to guitar will give you the tools to understand your favourite artists’ playing and how to play the music you want to.

My lessons are designed to give you the tools you need to start playing and creating your own music. Lessons will typically focus on introducing a new concept or technique and how it is used in a popular song. We'll discuss how the greatest hits are written and played and how you can use that for your own playing.

Alternatively, if there's a particular song or technique you want to learn, I'm happy to tailor the lesson to that goal.

Lessons will typically last an hour and be done online.

These lessons are for any level of player. I go through the fundamentals of chords/ scales/ theory to build an understanding of what you're actually playing and why. This approach gets you on the fast track to improvisation and opens up new possibilities in your playing.
