About

Jack Gardiner (born in 1993) is a highly acclaimed solo artist and session guitarist from Liverpool, U.K., now based in Switzerland. Guitar World hails him as "the Ibanez-toting, Neural DSP aficionado" and "one seriously gifted guitar player," highlighting his dedication to mastering control, theory, technique, and phrasing across various styles.

Starting his professional journey at just 15, Jack performed with prominent rap and R&B artists like KOF and Janice Myers, including appearances on BBC Radio One Live Lounge at Maida Vale Studios. By 16, he was under the tutelage of world-renowned fusion guitarist Tom Quayle, who significantly influenced his style and sound.

In 2017, Jack's career took a significant leap when Stu Hamm (Steve Vai) invited him to join the Greatest Hits Tour. That same year, Jack joined the ’80s pop/rock band China Crisis.

2020 marked a milestone for Jack with the release of his debut single, SkyBluePink feat. Owane, followed by his solo EP Escapades. Guitar World praised SkyBluePink for its precision and heart and lauded Escapades as a "fusion masterclass" showcasing his formidable chops and exquisite note choices.

By 2024, Jack had expanded his discography with two more EPs and embarked on tours across Europe and Japan, supporting acts like Plini and Arch Echo. His collaborations include work with artists such as Henrik Linder (Dirty Loops) and Riccardo Oliva (Matteo Mancuso). Jack has also performed at major festivals like Rewind Festival, RADAR Festival, and W-Festival and has shared his expertise through masterclasses alongside legends like Guthrie Govan, Andy Timmons, Nick Johnston, and Greg Howe.

Looking ahead, Jack plans to release a new solo album by the end of 2024 and continue to grow his presence with more social media content, masterclasses, clinics, and live performances.
