The Soul of a Player, the Wisdom of a Teacher.
In music, you’re often forced to make a choice.
You can learn from the “natural”—a phenomenal player who lights up the stage but can’t quite explain how they do what they do. Or, you can learn from a structured teacher who knows the theory inside and out but has never truly lived it on the road.
My life’s work has been to become the bridge between those two worlds.
My name is Suke Cerulo, and for over three decades, my passion has been to walk in both. I believe that to truly master the guitar, you need the heart of an artist and the mind of an architect—and I’ve dedicated my career to cultivating both.
The Player: Decades on Stage
My real education came from a packed van touring the USA. As a founding member of the band Schleigho, I learned what it takes to connect with an audience, night after night. We played over 2000 shows, signed a record deal with members of the Allman Brothers Band, and toured extensively with musical giants like the Derek Trucks Band. In 2022, I had the honor of handling lead guitar duties for the iconic jam band moe. The stage is where theory meets reality—it’s a lesson you can only learn by doing.
The Teacher: Decades in the Classroom
Parallel to my life on stage, I discovered a deep passion for education. For 20 years, I was a cornerstone of the prestigious NYC Guitar School, where I founded and served as Director of the Lead Guitar Program. There, I personally taught over 15,000 lessons, honing a clear, step-by-step methodology that demystifies the fretboard and gives players a real roadmap for improvement. This work culminated in my 5-book series, The Lead Guitar Workshop.
