Chris is a wonderful guitar teacher who has the experience and patience to help you feel comfortable and capable to learn how to play the guitar! I hadn't played the guitar in a very long time and only played classical guitar when I was younger, so now in my 40s and learning to play chords, I was a bit nervous - but Chris is really great at putting you at ease and giving you the confidence that you can do this and giving you the right tools to help you get there. Also, I really like the virtual classes because I can always look back at the videos and pause/rewind to check finger placements/strumming, etc. It truly helps with the learning process!

I recently had a first lesson with Chris, and was super impressed! He was very well prepared, patient, and had all the right resources to teach guitar online. Looking forward to continuing to work with him!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are negotiable. Ultimately, if you have your own guitar the prices are lower. If you don't and you borrow mine, then the price goes up a little more. Not because I'm greedy but because I have to care for the guitar
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Hopefully I'll have an understanding of where the customer is in their guitar playing. Once I know that I can set up a lesson plan based on their wants.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been playing for 30 years. I've been in many bands and have toured the US and Europe. I know how to read guitar tab
