CELEBRITY GUITARIST | SONGWRITER - This week our guest is Monte Pittman. Monte left

Texas at 24 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a professional musician. He made ends meet by

working at a local Guitar Center, but, realizing he was better at teaching than selling, he left to start

providing guitar lessons. His third student was British filmmaker, Guy Ritchie, who had just received a

guitar from his girlfriend, Madonna. Monte was introduced to the iconic performer and became her guitar

teacher as well. A month later, Monte was invited to join Madonna on stage at the David Letterman Show to

promote her album, Music and has been her guitarist ever since. Recently, he was honored to play with Madonna

at the Superbowl. Monte was also Adam Lambert's live guitarist and music director.
