Introduction: 35 years of experience - Private and Professional Music Studio in Manhattan. You may think it's too hard.... but in fact it's simply about unlocking the music you already feel inside. I'm here to be patient and help! Unlocking the music most people already feel and hear inside of themselves... then being able to see them play with that inspiration on their own.

I have been taking lessons with Chris for the past year and a half. His teaching is excellent and I feel that I have not only improved at the guitar but also learned a lot more about music — even learning more about myself and what I find musically pleasing. He is attentive and patient with students and has a talent for explaining musical concepts to students of all levels (great use of metaphors!). I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is interested in learning the guitar as well as some concepts that make music beautiful.

So I have been working with Chris for about a month. I am an intermediate player who started taking lessons five years ago and struggled to have the "gaps" filled in terms of theory. Chris has done a remarkable job in filling those gaps and have made the process fun in my opinion. He's absolutely great to work with and I would recommend him to anyone.

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!

Details: 26 - 44 years old • No formal training • No, cannot read music • Acoustic • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has an instrument • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Chris is amazing teacher and musician. I took lessons with him for over a year and looked forward to our time evey week. As an intermediate self taught player, he gave me so much helpful knowledge to bring my playing to another level. I would recommend Chris without hesitation. He’s a master player and can do any genre.

With CC’s easy, modern, and academic approach, you will learn guitar very quickly before you even realize it yourself. He unlocks the guitar neck knowledge for you and makes playing and learning guitar inspiring for the next lesson. He is a Berklee Alumnus, and you will experience the difference! If CC taught Rocket Science, you’d be an expert in 3 weeks!
