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.

Wow! I can’t say enough amazing things about Bryson and his guitar lessons. The sessions are beyond worth it - I never played guitar and he goes step by step making learning fun and informative. MadChair has passion for teaching others the craft of guitar…and then elevating it x10. Literally stoked for my next class!!!

I have been taking lessons with Bryson for around 9 months now. I had already been playing guitar for 7 years, but knew I wanted to learn more theory and improve skills across the board (neck?). Bryson has been amazing with guiding the journey through all that I've asked for, plus a whole lot more (theory, sight reading, jamming, different playing styles, learning songs, better ways to practice at home, etc.) I feel that I have learned quite a bit in the 9 months, and am a noticeably better guitar player. Hope this helps you out! He's a 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.
