Professional Guitarist & Teacher | From Beginner to Creating and Perfoming Confidently on Stage

My name is Callum Garland, a professional guitarist originally from London, now based in Melbourne. I have over a decade of teaching experience across electric, acoustic, and classical guitar, guiding students from complete beginners through to advanced performers. Alongside teaching, I work actively as a touring and session musician, performing across the UK and Europe to audiences of 25,000+. I bring real-world industry insight into my lessons, combining practical musicianship with structured progression. My students have a 100% pass rate in ABRSM, Trinity, and RSL guitar examinations across classical, acoustic, and electric disciplines. I regularly perform in Rock, Blues, Pop, Indie, Funk, Soul, and Disco settings, giving me a broad stylistic understanding that I pass directly on to students. My focus is on building confident, versatile musicians - from first chords to live performance readiness. If you’re looking to improve your improvisation, technique or confidence on stage, I offer tailored one-to-one lessons online. Lessons are built around your goals, whether that’s learning your first songs, developing soloing skills, or preparing for live performance situations.
