Tony Smotherman is quickly becoming one of the most popular guitarists on the scene. His eclectic mix of influences sets him apart from all of his peers with his own distinct sound. Innovating new techniques and combining a huge array of different styles, Tony has created a diverse musical world. Tony has opened for and played with a vast array of national and international touring acts. Although rooted in rock, Tony intertwines all the musical worlds he explores with his own distinct fingerprint.
For the past five years, Tony has been teaching students throughout Florida and southern Georgia, playing and touring, producing instructional videos, and contributing to local and national music magazines. Tony has performed live to packed houses and held sold-out guitar clinics. In September of 2005, he was personally invited to perform his work in an instructional and performance series in the Grand School of Music at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. While gaining recognition for his musical abilities, Tony has acquired endorsements with Vigier Guitars, Revolt Amps, DR Strings, and Morley Pedals.
During the quarantine period I decided to be productive and learn a new instrument. Luckily I had my old guitar and found Truefire and their YouTube channel! Intially it was a little difficult but the lessons by Tony sir were so clear, articulate and easy to follow that I eventually progressed! From learning the basics and now reaching an intermediate level with a little songwriting! Looking forward for more lessons, Truefire has been really helpful especially during such tough time!
