Chris is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable guitar instructor. He is patient, passionate, and dedicated to helping his students improve their guitar skills!

As someone who grew up playing guitar from a young age, but who lost touch with it over the years, Chris has reignited that curiosity and fun that I used to have playing in high school. He's been super patient as I fumble around dusting off the cobwebs and always has great tips and tricks to improve in between lessons. Looking forward to more!

Working with Chris brought my understanding of composition and fretboard fluency to a new level. As a largely self taught guitarist, I felt like I hit a wall with my playing by putting on records and learning how to play the songs and solos.

I was frustrated because I had the mechanical technique down to shred, but I couldn't write a song to save my life or explain what I was doing. Chris helped me take what I was doing and put it into musical terms so I could understand all of the underlying theory. Ever since taking lessons with him my soloing and compositions have improved 1000%. Can't recommend him enough!

HE DOESNT SUCK! HE'S AMAZING!!

Since I've started taking lessons with chris, I've learned so much about theory, technique and styles of playing. The handouts are great and helpful, and the lessons are very informational. He makes sure he works at whatever pace you are comfortable, which is essential for someone who is giving lessons.

Chris shares PFF files and has thorough follow-ups. Definitely a recommendation from me.

- Excellent individual attention provided.
- Lessons are structured around the needs and goals of the student.
- Well structured, executed, and personable.
- Wonderful encouragement provided throughout your guitar journey.

I highly recommend Chris for all that he does! He's an excellent teacher and a great person. Every level of student has something to learn from him.

Chris is a great teacher that has a way of opening patterns and theory up in a swift manner. He's very good about not overloading my head still expanding upon key concepts and foundation.
