Guitarist Performer Composer Educator
“Aria’s greatest strength is holding a room with a whisper instead of a roar — trading sheer volume for balance, and building tension out of contrast rather than noise.”
Lena Marsh, The Blues Review
Fan Favourite
Chosen by fans and promoters across three touring seasons — for tone, feel and showmanship.
About Me
I’m Aria — the guitarist behind the Silvertone Aria Collective, based in Nashville, Tennessee. For fifteen years I’ve played blues, rock and Americana on stages from cramped club corners to festival main stages, with one rule: serve the song first and the solo second.
The Collective is my touring band and studio family — drums, bass, keys and a second guitar behind my lead playing. Together we’ve cut two records and played more than two hundred shows, and every night still starts the same way: tune up, listen hard, play honest.
Off stage I teach. My one-to-one lessons break the guitar into skills you can hear in your playing within weeks — theory you can use, scales you can sing, and rhythm you can trust.
Live & Studio
On stage, the Collective runs loud and loose — twin guitars, a rhythm section that breathes, and setlists that leave room for the night to happen. Festival slots, club residencies and support tours are all part of the working year.
In the studio I track lead guitar, overdubs and textures for my own records and for other artists. Bring a demo with a hole in it, or a finished mix that needs a voice on six strings — you’ll leave with parts that sit in the track, not on top of it.
Session work, dep slots and co-writes are booked around tour dates. Tell me about the song first; the gear list can wait.

Tab, Techniques & Tips
Every lesson ships with tab, practice loops and a personal practice plan.
You’ll learn the vocabulary working players actually use — reading tab fluently, bending in tune, muting cleanly and building solos from small ideas instead of memorised licks. Each session ends with a recorded recap and three things to drill before we meet again.
Beginners start with pain-free fundamentals; gigging players bring their setlists and we fix what’s costing them. All ages, all levels, acoustic or electric.
