Introduction: If you are a complete beginner then you will get a complete introduction into how to play the guitar using a variety of methods. My goal as a teacher is to help YOU be your own best teacher. Learning how to play the guitar isn't easy, it takes time and patience just like anything else that requires a skill. It's slow going at first but over time, it gets easier. Playing music is fun but, learning HOW to play it is the hard part. If you are a more intermediate or advanced player and not sure "what you should learn next" well then, I can help you with that too. Theory, fretboard knowledge, etc. If you are looking to learn a specific style, I can help you with that as well. I don't claim to know how to play everything that is out there as I am not a "jack-of-all trades" teacher. I started off in the blues and then for the last 25 years have primarily concentrated on playing jazz. I also know some classical/fingerstyle guitar techniques and even some country guitar. If you are looking for "how to shred" then look elsewhere. I have been teaching for over 20 years and in that time I have taught ages 8 to adult, all skill levels. If you decide to take lessons with me you will be challenged on what you know as well being pushed to get outside of your comfort zone in order to help you grow. Along with that, I hope to keep the lessons enjoyable and geared towards whatever goals you may have and help you reach them in the most reasonable manner. I love teaching because it's great a thing to pass on knowledge to someone about something I feel deeply passionate about: music! I get great joy from watching my students grow, reach their goals and have fun in the process. Currently I teach two high school guitar classes and am also an adjunct jazz guitar instructor at Davidson College. In addition to this I teach private and studio lessons. Contact me for more information or to set up a trial lesson, either in person or remote.

I have only met with the instructor once, so I can't give much of a review, but from what I've seen and the little I know, I think he will be a good fit for me. Additionally, I saw him play in a band locally, and they are really good, so I feel confidant in his ability.

I took lessons with Chris Jones for about a year before I went off to college to pursue a jazz studies degree and I felt well equipped as a result. He will do his best to get you the musical results you want and I would recommend home for any guitar player looking to get better.

Chris listened to my needs and started me right off at the first lesson. Just finished my second lesson today, he added more from the first lesson, progressing. He explains well the reasoning for what im learning and shows how it applies. Looking forward to the next lesson.
