Blake’s love for music started young—he picked up a classical guitar as a teenager and never looked back. After completing Grade 5 RCM, he kept up his classical chops but couldn’t resist turning up the volume. Rock and metal quickly became his jam, and he threw himself into mastering those styles too.

He followed his passion all the way to Grant MacEwan University, earning his music diploma and hitting the road with the band In Oath of Hera. Whether it’s shredding solos, fingerpicking Bach, or just jamming for fun, Blake brings energy, experience, and a love of all things guitar to every lesson.
