Kane
Guitar Teacher
Kane has been playing the guitar for 14 years. First showing interest at the age of 12, he eagerly picked up the instrument and quickly started to develop his own sound and playing style.
Naturally left-handed, Kane opted to play right-handed and proceeded to develop his craft, building his hand technique and spending countless hours practising and perfecting his sound.
Citing influences from players such as Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Guthrie Govan, Kane’s style is firmly rooted in guitar-driven music.
Kane studied music academically, at school and later in college. Excelling in both, he then studied composition, began teaching and also performed studio session work and released 2 EPs.
Kane spent 5 years as the Head of Guitars at The Academy of Sound in Hanley with Chris Poole, who is now the Manager of the music shop here at Staffordshire Music Hub. It was during this time that he gained a plethora of knowledge concerning the guitar itself, regarding pickups, strings, hardware as well as pedals and amplifiers. Kane and Chris perform together in the corporate band, Legends of Sound.
