At 27 years old, Calum Graham has already accomplished what most artists twice his age could only hope for. In 2014, Calum was named one of the World's Top 30 Guitarists under 30 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. His signature playing style has enthralled millions of listeners on YouTube and Spotify which has led to tours across Canada, USA, Germany, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, and China. Calum plays the Acoustic, Baritone, and Harp Guitar in his live set, and his original melodies are guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings. His music embraces elements of many genres using his own unique fingerstyle technique inspired by the likes of Michael Hedges and Andy McKee. Calum began to play the guitar at the age of 13. Five years later in the summer of 2010, Graham attended the Canadian Guitar Festival and entered into the prestigious Canadian Fingerstyle Guitar Competition. Impressed with his original compositions, the judges awarded First Place to Graham, a feat no other teenager has accomplished in the history of the festival. The clip of his winning performance has now generated over 1 million hits on YouTube. Graham continues to write, teach, and tour extensively with his well established repertoire of original compositions to audiences around the world.
I'm a big fan of Calum and his music. I can tell you he's a great teacher as well. This course is quite advanced and, while I haven't mastered all of its content, has already helped me unlock several skills that have made me a better guitar player in the past year and a half. I highly recommend to check this course, and am looking forward to the next ones from Calum.
