Theo van Niel Jr.

After a period of playing less guitar myself, I’ve recently dived back into it with renewed enthusiasm. It’s been fantastic to explore new styles and follow online lessons from guitar legends, trying to catch even a small part of their brilliance. While browsing through True Fire’s offerings, I came across a name that seemed distinctly Dutch: Theo van Niel Jr. Intrigued, I downloaded his course and quickly realized I was dealing with an exceptionally talented musician.Not long after my ‘discovery,’ Theo released a new album where he masterfully blends rock, fusion, metal, and country in his unique style. I decided to visit Theo at his home, where he also runs his music school, for an in-depth conversation. We talked about his talent, his learning process, teaching, his childhood, and some of his musical heroes.Get to find out more about this crafty player as we explore Theo’s journey through music, his creative process, and his insights into mastering the guitar.
