Christopher is a fantastic guitar teacher. He does a great job tailoring lessons to wherever you are in your guitar journey, working on both fundamentals and songs you want to play. He’s also an incredible guitarist and musician himself, which makes the lessons even more inspiring. His lessons are affordable and absolutely worth it. On top of that, he’s fun, engaging, and just a great person to talk music with. Highly recommend. 🎸

Chris has been awesome to work with. He's been flexible working around my schedule and always leaving me with "homework" to do that has genuinely helped me grow as a guitarist. I've already recommended him to several other people.

Working with Chris as a teacher has changed my life. I played guitar years ago and quit when I felt stuck and unable to progress. I wanted to find a teacher that would show me how to practice and play in a way that would lead to consistent improvement. I got all that and more with Chris! I've been taking lessons from him for a year now, and the amount I have improved blows my mind. Its not only technical expertise, music theory, and practice technique; Chris is a phenomenal teacher because he puts the art of music above all else. He has helped me overcome self doubt, helped me get in touch with my creativity, and helped me grow my confidence playing with other people. I feel like I have art back in my life. If you're thinking of picking up guitar, I cannot recommend him more highly. I'm profoundly grateful to have found him as a teacher!
