About Kieran

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 second album in 2021. 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 traveled 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.

About the lesson

>> Interactive Guitar Notation Access included Access to hundreds of courses for a wide range of songs & techniques using a state-of-the-art guitar tab app. Play along, slow it down, loop it, etc. Unlimited practice in your own time as much as you like. >> Track Your Progress Mark lessons and courses as complete as you go, track your progress and direct your learning paths across Rhythm, Melody, Harmony, Techniques, etc. >> Isolated Studio Multitracks for Top Artists Multitrack mixes synced to full tabs of some of the best performances ever put to tape: Bowie, The Doors, The Eagles, Nirvana, Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, Creedence, Dire Straits, and much more. >> Audio & Visual Resources Custom backing tracks to help you practice, improvise, and & neck diagrams to help you visualize and internalize scale, chord and arpeggio shapes. >> Direct High-Quality Audio into Zoom I plug directly into Zoom via a Helix Floor Multi-FX pedal and a Shure microphone to ensure the best quality audio experience and no distracting ambient noise from the room. >> All Levels Welcome on Acoustic, Classical, Electric & Bass Whether you're a beginner looking to take your first steps or an experienced player looking to improve in particular areas, my approach is to build the lessons around your individual goals and interests. >> Multi-Disciplinary Lesson Content My aim is to give you the tools you need to be able to teach yourself by helping you hone the essential skills a musician needs: a varied rhythmic, melodic and harmonic palette, genres, listening, reading, technical, improv, composition, audio workstation and recording literacy. >> Exam Board Learning Paths Available Including: Rockschool, ABRSM, Trinity. >> Songwriting I also work with songwriters who are looking to develop their songs and/or record demos. I can help with arrangement, creating rhythm section tracks, backing vocals, and mixing and mastering options. >> Trial Session In our first free trial session, we can discuss your goals and work out how we can go about achieving them, so get in touch to arrange a time. I look forward to meeting you.

Perfect! I’ve been nervous about getting back into guitar as an adult learner but Kieran made me feel really at ease about it all in our first session. He is a great listener and was really receptive to what I was looking for in a teacher. His lightheartedness and humor really diffused whatever internal pressure I’ve been feeling about it all. I appreciated his taking the time to outline the structure of a typical session. I have just booked sessions with him moving forward :)

Kieran Gilchrist is a fantastic guitar teacher, Kieran opened up a world of guitar knowledge an theory that I had a very basic understanding of when I first started lessons 2 years ago. Since then I believe I can say I have improved drastically in multiple elements of not just guitar but music as a whole from discovering new genres too understanding complex theory concepts. Couldn’t recommend anymore highly.

Kieran’s teaching style is a strong mix of his friendly character and his astronomical musical education, this creates an atmosphere of comfort whist being pushed to become the best on your chosen instrument. Kieran’s incredible teaching has progressed me from being a novice bassist playing for fun to a musician aiming for a career in the performance industry, backed up by the technical ability and theoretical knowledge he’s passed on to me.

I've been having lessons with Kieran for a few months now and learnt more in that time than the years previously trying to self learn.
The lessons are interactive and fun and the software used is easy to use and can go away and practice what we learnt in the lessons.
Also, Kieran is a nice guy with a really good teaching style.
Would recommend to anyone!

I've been having lessons with Kieran for a few months now and learnt more in that time than the years previously trying to self learn.
The lessons are interactive and fun and the software used is easy to use and can go away and practice what we learnt in the lessons.
Also, Kieran is a nice guy with a really good teaching style.
Would recommend to anyone!

I wanted to improve my technical skills but just couldn't find the discipline. Kieran helped give me specific goals with structured drills and I have improved a lot. He is very patient and a good laugh.

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favourite instrument?
I was surrounded by music as a child and was always fascinated by how it worked. I would play with cassette tapes and vinyls, try to mimic sounds and whistle the melodies. I learned to play guitar by spending time and jamming with my uncle and his friends when I was 16. They introduced me to a wide range of genres including gypsy jazz, reggae and Latin.
Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
Silvio Rodriguez, Buena Vista Social Club, Django Reinhardt, Manu Chao, Dub Reggae, David Gilmour, Khruangbin…
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
I deliver courses in a range specific skills or genres such as funk, triads, or the CAGED system, but I find that the most enlightening to students is a more holistic approach of studying their favourite repertoire in detail and exposing the moving parts and memorable patterns within the music, the mastery of the visualisation of the guitar neck, music's similarity to language and speech patterns, and understanding the emotional qualities of intervals, chords, scales and modes so that you can dial into and evoke those emotions at will.
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and wh
I think music can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be, no matter what instrument you play. Some people can learn through pure innate instinct and be world famous. Other find mastery via a more analytical approach. Or a mix of both. Each to their own.
What are your keys to success?
Regular practice. Learning at lower tempos to get the correct form and muscle memory. Play what you love, and love what you play.
Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
Would love to chew the fat with John Lennon to hear his inimitable direct, non-apologetic political satire, hilarious nonsense, and beautiful way with words.

Silvio Rodriguez to explain what all of those beautiful metaphors mean.

Lee Scratch Perry to show me his maverick mixing techniques.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
One day I decided to quit my job, sell or give away lots of my stuff and fly to Cuba on a one-way ticket to learn Latin guitar styles. I ended up meeting one of my heroes, Eliades Ochoa, at the Casa de la Trova in Santiago de Cuba, and played and sang live with a full mariachi band in a plaza in Guadalajara, Mexico, amongst other musical adventures around the world.
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I am largely self-taught but the handful of formal guitar lessons I attended in the past were full of vague and boring drills that had no context and I would forget most stuff within 5 minutes of leaving the lesson and/or not be motivated to practice it.

As a teacher, I ensure we are learning the material you love and that will get you towards your goals. I provide full transcriptions of everything I teach you, accessible forever via an interactive notation app sync'd to Youtube videos which you can loop, slow down and jam along with my custom backing tracks.

The visual element is also often neglected in music education but I always provide full neck diagrams so that you can visualise scale, triad and arpeggio patterns on the neck.
