Private Guitar Mentorship Build Skills Create Musician Lifestyle

My Guitar Opened Every Door

I’ve toured the country, moved to California to play in bands, executed music events nights at iconic clubs, built a guitar pedal company, traveled to China 2 times, and even met my wife at a gig (28 years going strong). Music connected me to people around the world, life stories, friends and soul mates. That didn’t happen by luck, it came from a repeatable system: build real skills, show up consistently, and package yourself like a pro. That’s what I will teach you.

What We’ll Improve Together

Meet Your Instructor: Paul Killion

I’m a Los Angeles–based guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer with over 35 years of experience playing, recording, teaching, and touring. I created a boutique guitar pedal company (EX-GEAR), and I’ve led music and songwriting seminars helping players turn ideas into real songs. Let's take your musicianship and lifestyle to the next level.

I studied privately for 10 years with legendary guitarist Greg Howe—known for his work with Michael Jackson, and for serving as touring/house guitarist for artists like Justin Timberlake and others. That training shaped my approach to technique, phrasing, tone, and musicality.

• Touring band experience & real-world stage time.
• Multi-instrumentalist: guitar, bass, drums, piano, Singer/Songwriter & music programming and composing.
• Fluent in Pro Tools & Logic Pro for recording and production.
• Live Events Cordinator, Pedal Company COO and designer, Marketing and Branding.
• Patient, student-friendly teaching style with clear explanations and expectations.

Whether you’re picking up the guitar for the first time or returning after a long break, my goal is simple: help you become great, feel more confident about your playing, develop your musical goals, and actually enjoy the process.

You Don’t Have to Be “Born With It”

If you’ve struggled to get better, the problem isn’t you, it’s the training. Most teachers don't know how to teach their students to attain that next level. I was like this also and it took years to figure out. Now I understand and I can help you understand also. With my method, you’ll build the exact skills that matter, in the right order, with feedback and accountability. You’ll become the guitarist you were meant to be.
