Graham has a holistic teaching style that aims to demystify the fretboard, and develop systems for truly understanding the neck. He puts an emphasis on discovering your unique voice on the instrument through improvisation. He teaches a wide variety of techniques that are useful in tackling difficult and fast passages such as sweeping, tapping, economy and swybrid picking. His teaching incorporates music theory, ear-training, application of scale systems and intervallic relationships. His goal is to help you develop a tool chest of techniques and knowledge that will allow you to express yourself, uninhibited by technical or knowledge restraints.
