Kieran Gilchrist

I am a professional guitarist and qualified music teacher with extensive experience as a soloist, accompanist, and band member across various genres including Rock, Soul, Funk, Folk, Latin, Reggae, Gypsy Jazz, Classical, and more. I play Lead Guitar for the band El Misti and we’re about to release our third album in 2022.

I have a Degree in Music Education from the international contemporary music awarding body, Rockschool, as well as Grade 8 Electric Guitar (Rockschool) and Grade 8 Classical Guitar (ABRSM), and an Audio Engineering Diploma (SAE Institute International).

I have travelled the world extensively researching world music genres, especially in Latin America. During a 2.5yr journey through Latin America, I attended the School of Mariachi in Guadalajara, Mexico and performed with Cuban street band, Los Jubilados del Caribe, in Santiago de Cuba.

I am originally from the musical city of Liverpool, UK, however in September 2020, I relocated to Mexico where I am continuing my research into Latin American music genres and sharing my knowledge with my students.

Permanent access to custom courses for a wide range of songs and techniques on a state-of-the-art interactive guitar notation app, allowing you to follow tab interactively, slow it down and loop.

Studio Multitracks

I have original individual instrument multi-tracks for hit songs with full transcriptions so you can learn directly from the best guitar performances ever put to tape, as if you were a fly on the wall in the control room. Artists include: The Doors, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Blue Oyster Cult…

Audio Resources

High-quality custom backing tracks and neck diagrams to help you visualise and internalise.
