Sam has played as a solo artist at some of Australia’s leading festivals, including Peat’s Ridge Festival and Splendour In The Grass. Known in China as “Super Lightning Guitar Slappy Man”, he has completed three tours of China representing Maton guitars, playing shows, clinics and masterclasses in over 30 cities.

Sam has been studying music since the age of ten, developing an extensive knowledge of music theory and composition through schooling, private lessons and self-education. He received his Bachelor Of Music from AIM in 2012 and has been a guitar teacher since.

Every student is different, and lessons would be structured around the students own style, taste, and musical goals with an emphasis on developing technique, ear training and a practical application of theory. He now focuses his lesson from his home studio in Croydon.
