Chris is a great musician with a lot of knowledge and experience. Any questions I’ve asked him he is able to answer them with ease. Every lesson i have with him i improve my playing and understanding of the guitar. He is also a cool guy in general that is very easy to get along with.

After not playing guitar for many years, I wanted to get back into it, but I wanted to learn the guitar the 'right' way this time. I lacked any actual knowledge of guitar fundamentals, so I reached out to Chris, and he was great. He set me up with his partner Ayel to get me started. Ayel has been awesome! Since day one, she has been very welcoming, patient, and encouraging. She meets you where you're at without any pressure. Three lessons in, and I've learned so much already in an enjoyable way.

Clear, methodical instruction that had me starting to play songs by the fourth lesson. Also super helpful with assisting me in purchasing the correct equipment and taught me how to properly take care of my guitar. Super cool guy!

Great teacher! Chris has helped me improve immensely in the last couple of months. Very honest and patient, he will tailor his approach depending on each student’s learning style. He also helped me buy my first electric guitar and amp. Chris is an extremely approachable guy, easy to talk to, and knows literally everything there is to know about guitar. Highly recommend!

  I have an Associates in Arts and Music, and am currently furthering my education towards a bachelor's degree in music composition. That is coupled with over 10 years of musical performance.
