Seasoned guitarist with a history of 25 years performing and recording in rock, metal, post-metal, and post-rock. A Berklee College of Music alumnus, I've studied guitar, composition, film scoring, audio engineering, and sound design. In 2002, my college band won the Earnie Ball contest for the Vans Warped Tour, and in 2015, my band Legendary Skies achieved global acclaim in post-rock.

"Paul White has been a tremendous teacher for me in better understanding music theory. It was always a part of music I couldn't get my head around until I got help from Paul. He made it easy for me to get different music theory concepts and gave me exercises to do on my own to better imprint in my mind. He is patient, challenges you, and makes learning fun. I definitely recommend Paul to anyone who wants to become a better guitar player, theory knowledge, and recording as well. He has a great attitude and competent in the language of music.
