I learned so much on the course that bettered me as a player and as a teacher, in a band setting and as a solo guitar player. On the course I had the absolute pleasure of studying under the best musician I have ever met, Johnny Cameron. In the 1st Instrument lessons Johnny was incredibly patient and incredibly knowledgable on any question I had. He taught me patience, he taught me to play for the track and most importantly for my style, he taught me ‘Hybrid Picking’, a style of picking that requires the use of a guitar pick and 2 or more fingers simultaneously. Johnny is The Dude, no one can argue ahahha.
In a band setting, I learned so much from (Music Performance Senior Lecturer) Jamie Cameron in the way of how things should be in a live setting. Really getting into dynamics within a band, contrasting guitar tones in a live mix, and just how to properly run a professional band. All of these are skills that I use everyday and
credit to the success that I have seen with my band so far, it’s easy to say that I wouldn’t have seen such success not having learned these things from Jamie. I’m extremely proud to call both these guys my colleagues.
