Hidè's ‘magic fingers’ blends jazz, pop, rock, Indian, Spanish, Celtic, Japanese, blues and heavy metal on his guitar. Classically trained in Japan and at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music in London, Hidè epitomises the tradition, compounding classical literacy and finger-style artistry. As a composer, Hidè wrote many musical pieces including a piece for American calligrapher, Thomas Ingmire as well as ‘My Gentle Roses’ for Duo Ueda. Hidè’s guitar technique can be traced back via Keigo Fujii, José Luis Gonzaléz, Andrés Segovia, Miguel Llobet to the great Francisco Tárrega.

Hidè was a long-time registered guitar tutor in Barnet, Foulds and CoE and many other places in London and is now busy playing across the world!
