Rob Galley, guitarist and teacher.
Based in Gozo, Malta. On Instagram Rob sums himself up in three words: “YouTube Guitarist/Teacher”.
Twenty years on YouTube
Rob opened his YouTube channel in November 2006. Since then he has published 331 videos, including guitar lessons, riff breakdowns, gear reviews and covers, which have been watched more than 6.4 million times by an audience of 21,600 subscribers.
Away from the camera, Rob has played in a wedding band. “I’ve played over 1000 weddings in my time being in a wedding band,” he wrote, after flying from Malta to the UK to play at his brother’s wedding, where his brother joined the band on stage for a few songs.
Today he teaches guitar in Gozo as Gozo Guitar Lessons, based in Marsalforn.
In Rob’s words
When I started learning the guitar I had no idea where it would lead. Learning to play the guitar is just the start of what could be an amazing story, & I can help get it started.
