Level Up From Bedroom Player to Gigging Soloist
Real-world coaching for guitarists and aspiring solo musicians who are ready to build confidence, get gigs, and play solo with purpose.
Hi, I'm Walt Pitts 👋
I’ve been a full-time solo musician for over 30 years, playing guitar, mandolin, and singing at thousands of gigs — from intimate wine bars to outdoor festivals. Now I help guitarists become confident solo performers, whether your goal is paid gigs, a side hustle, or just playing for people with soul and confidence.
