There are great guitarists, great vocalists and great songwriters, but Monte Pittman is one of the elite few who can truly lay claim to all three titles. To assert that Pittman has had a storied career is something of an understatement. His resumé begins with an ongoing and ever productive collaboration since 2000 as the guitar player for pop-goddess Madonna, as a result of being hired as her guitar teacher. (They even played the Super Bowl together in 2012!). Then there’s his work with Prong, his more recent performances with Ministry and collaborations with a broad spectrum of international artists including Adam Lambert & Karmin!

Even now he’s consistently releasing solo records with Metal Blade that receive critical acclaim after his solo records have topped the CD Baby charts and making him one of the best performing rock musicians on Kickstarter of all time. His blend of influences has become wonderfully diverse over the years, ranging from classic titans by way of modern innovators. The end result is music that captures the imagination and has thrilled guitar addicts across the globe as his fleet fingered acrobatics bring listeners ever more in awe.

Going forward Pittman plans to stay busy with Madonna and Ministry, whilst simultaneously working on his seventh solo album. Beyond that – he’s been expanding his work as a guitar teacher to take on more students eager to learn from someone who has seen it all, in every corner of the world. His unique perspective is sure to lead to more great music, performances, and one of a kind insights for students. The best is yet to come for Monte Pittman, will you be there to witness it?
