Let's Make It Real
Your Creative Project:
Giles Waithe
Your mentor and guide:
Helping clarify what you want to achieve
Working out what needs to happen,
Then getting it done.
Whether that's:
Finishing an album or EP
Breaking through a creative block
Learn genuinely expressive lead guitar
Developing the skills to make your music
Getting your creative process under control
You don't need to have everything figured out before we start. That's part of what I'm here for.
You might be here because…
You have a project you desperately want to finish.
An album, EP, collection of songs — something you've been talking about for too long.
You want to develop a skill that is holding you back.
Perhaps you've played guitar for years but still don't feel free and expressive when you improvise.
You're creatively stuck.
You know you want to make something, but you can't seem to start, sustain or finish it. Perhaps you've already achieved great success, and need to rebuild your creativity for the next stage.
You're overwhelmed by the process.
Recording, production, editing and endless technical decisions are consuming the time and energy you want to spend creating.
Or you simply know you want to make something happen, but aren't yet sure exactly what the path is.
The goal is yours....
My job is to help you clarify, work out the path, and take every step needed to make it real.
I've been teaching for 30 years. But here's what really matters….
I'm not teaching you from the sidelines.
I'm still in the trenches myself — writing songs, making albums, producing, mixing, playing the instruments, performing and taking projects all the way through to release.
I know what it takes to actually finish things.
Crucially:
You won't be left on your own between sessions. We have ten 50-minute sessions together, but the support doesn't stop when the video call ends:
Quick question? WhatsApp or email me.
Still unclear? Send a voice note.
Hit a serious roadblock? We'll arrange a quick call.
The aim is simple: keep your project moving until it's real.
What could we work on?
“I’m a talented artist, but never finish songs”
What we’ll do: Identify the real bottleneck, establish the smallest viable project, create a working process and develop strategies that make consistency possible.
Outcome: You finish the project, and learn how to harness yourself to create in the future.
“My guitar playing doesn’t flow because I’m unsure of which notes will work as the chord sequence changes and I run out of ideas”
What we’ll do: We work through my “art of lead guitar course” but you have my personal mentorship to help you at every stage and go deeper. Designed for 90 days you have the option to go faster and deeper. We use the relevant video content, then discuss and get practical in our sessions together.
Outcome: You fundamentally change how you approach lead guitar — understanding what you're doing rather than relying on guesswork, and developing the freedom to create the solos you actually hear in your head.
“I wish I could write a song, but I just can’t start let alone finish”
What we’ll do: We examine all the issues, from missing skills that actively block progression to more creative aspects and implement exercises and approaches to get your energy flowing again. Some of those will be grounded in action others more exploratory, as we develop the artistic and production sides of ourselves.
fggfgffff
Outcome: You finish a song and you have the skills and confidence to write and finish more.
“I write songs, and record them, but they sound bad. I don’t know how to mix, or what needs fixing before I record”
What we'll do: I'll teach you the fundamentals of mixing and, more importantly, how to listen critically so you can identify what needs fixing. We'll apply everything immediately to your own tracks, avoiding the technical rabbit holes that consume time without moving the project forward.
Outcome: Applying these techniques massively improves the quality of your songs and puts you in a position to create quality demos and continue forward to create pro level mixes.
“I create guitar social media and youtube, but the production process is taking too long. I just want to be able to play and speak to camera”
What we’ll do: Full production pipeline review. Remove everything not required. Make everything required efficient. Put into action and incrementally improve.
Outcome: Vastly improved production rate, standardised process allowing you to focuses on the core creative aspects, lower stress and the ability to create more and greater content.
