ABOUT

Paul Greig – Guitarist • Educator • Songwriter

Paul Greig is an Australian guitarist, educator, and songwriter whose career spans more than two decades of live performance, studio recording, and music education.

He cut his teeth playing hundreds of gigs around Tamworth — Australia’s country-music capital — performing alongside many of the region’s finest musicians. At twenty, Paul won a regional band competition with his blues group Black Cat Bone, earning first prize: a day in the studio to record a single on vinyl. That first taste of the studio would ignite a lasting passion for recording and tone.

While completing his degree in Contemporary Music (majoring in Guitar and Composition), Paul joined The Bentleys, a pop-rock outfit that went on to release an independent record featuring many of his songs. Before releasing his own solo album, he was already producing and mentoring singer-songwriters in Sydney — experiences that honed both his ear and his understanding of the creative process.

Known for his soulful touch, expressive slide-guitar tone, and an ability to bridge genres with ease, Paul embodies the rare balance of instinct and intellect — the self-taught player’s feel combined with a composer’s depth.

After earning his degree, he continued refining his craft under the guidance of world-class players and composers, including the legendary Jeff “Skunk” Baxter of Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers. His dual background — the intuitive, hands-on musician and the formally trained artist — defines both his music and his teaching philosophy.

In 2006, Paul released his debut solo album Rush of Goodness, with one of its tracks reaching the finals of the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. The album captured his unique blend of melodic storytelling, rootsy tone, and dynamic guitar work.

Today, Paul divides his time between education and creation. He leads two online guitar-learning platforms — Learn Guitar Café and Kids Guitar Dojo — helping players of all ages build confidence, skill, and joy in their music. He’s also one half of The Tangled Souls, a soulful, genre-bending duo known for their expressive vocals, rich grooves, and immersive guitar textures.

Whether performing, teaching, or producing, Paul’s mission remains the same: to help others discover the spark that first inspired him — the simple joy of making music.
