Learning to play guitar at Madchair has been an awesome journey as Bryson teaches you how to understand your instrument as well as learning to play. I’ve had teachers in the past but this is first time I’ve had this experience. I look forward to each lesson. Great teacher.

Bryson was a great teacher and really molds his lessons to what the student needs/wants. Just from one lesson I walked away with a better understanding of the fundamentals and techniques for the electric guitar. He gave me tips to improve and material to practice while also giving me ways to make practicing fundamentals fun and not “homework”, which is a huge step up from the normal strict lessons I’ve had with past teachers.
