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!

I can't say enough great things about Chris! From the very first lesson, he made learning the guitar feel fun, engaging, and totally approachable. He's a passionate and knowledgeable guitar teacher who truly cares about their students' progress. Highly recommend!

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Chris for a while now, and I must say, it’s been an incredible journey. As a beginner, I was a bit apprehensive at first, but Chris’s patience and encouraging approach made me feel comfortable right from the start. He tailors his lessons to suit my music tastes, which has helped me progress much faster than I expected. His teaching methods are clear and easy to follow, making each lesson enjoyable and productive. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to start or improve their guitar skills. He’s truly the best!

Working with Chris is the best! His approach is a perfect balance between playing skills and learning about music theory/history. As a complete beginner, I've appreciated his pace, and I've been impressed by how far I've come after just 3 months of lessons. He helps you learn the music you want to play, but what has also been a great experience is allowing him to push the boundaries of my interests. I came in planning to learn a couple of pop covers, but he's got me listening to classic rock now like never before. He's an awesome teacher and a great guy. I can't recommend his lessons enough!

I have been going to Chris for lessons for about about a year and a half now. I was initially nervous starting to play guitar but right off the bat, Chris made me feel comfortable. He is very down to earth, understanding, and very knowledgeable about music theory, playing technique, recording music among other things. Chris is an extremely handy resource for all things music. I have improved a lot in playing since going to him and playing music has become such an enjoyable hobby for me. Chris is always very responsive to questions and can help with so many aspects of the music learning journey. If you are looking to start out playing guitar or even master your skills, I would highly recommend Chris. He is professional and enthusiastic, and will without a doubt help you get to where you want to go.
