Cade - Know your guitar teacher
Hi there, I'm Cade, a guitar enthusiast with lvl.5 Diploma in Songwriting. Though I'm relatively new to tutoring I my self have been mentored by industry veterans like Bernard Butler (Suede) and I have years of professional experience working solo and in bands having performed on behalf of clients from Local Gospel Churches, all the way to major industry labels such as Sony Music. I tailor each session to your pace and style, ensuring a unique learning experience for each student. From basics such as open chords and strumming techniques, to more advanced skills like finger picking, I cover a wide range of techniques across electric acoustic and bass guitar. I believe strongly in guitar as a creative outlet for songwriting as well, and can teach composition techniques such as lyrical composition, advanced rhyming schemes, song structure and more. Let's work together to bring your song ideas to life!
