Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Notice: I am accepting new students! I am, however, only doing online lessons for the time being, morning, afternoon, and evening times available Monday - Wednesday. Thanks for checking out my profile! Are you interested in being able to play lead or rhythm guitar in a band confidently? Want to learn to write songs? Want to learn to just strum along to your favorite records by yourself? I will teach you or your child all of the knowledge and tools needed to do whatever your dream is on your instrument. My aim is to help every student achieve their personal goals on their instrument within the context of a relaxed and patient environment that promotes a love of music! I achieve this by: 1) Individualizing lesson plans so that each student stays engaged and learns in the style that is best for them as learners. 2) Ensuring that students learn BOTH how to play their instrument as well as the theory behind what they are playing. This creates a more well-rounded musician that is capable of problem solving on their instrument and being able to play in a variety of settings.

Chris is an amazing guitar instructor and an even better guitarist! He makes lessons fun, he’s very approachable, and he’s great at explaining everything from nailing riffs to musical theory. His versatility is impressive and he genuinely wants to teach songs that fit my interests which keep me engaged and excited to practice between lessons. He sends handouts, recordings of our lessons, and sums up what I should practice which has been immensely helpful. I’ve asked Chris for advice between sessions and he goes above and beyond by sending back videos breaking down my question. His ear is amazing and he gives great advice on how to improve and how to get to the next level. You can tell that guitar is his passion, which is contagious. I would recommend Chris to anyone on any level- whether you’re trying to polish up your skills or you’re a complete beginner!

I'm not new to guitar, but was looking for a way to freshen up my playing, and improve on old skills that hadn't been practiced in a while. Though I was worried I'd just be learning things I can do on my own, I signed up for lessons with Chris. So far, I've been thrilled. He has helped me analyze my playing in a way I wouldn't do on my own. He is very responsive to the types of things I'm interested in working on. He always leaves me with a recording and notes from our lesson so I can refer back to it in the future. Least of all, his lessons are a great value at the price offered. I play in a band, and at my first rehearsal since having lessons, a bass player who I've played with for 8+ years said "You must have been practicing!" I think that says it all!

Chris is an excellent guitar teacher with knowledge rooted in music theory. He'll not only teach you how to play the guitar, but he'll help you understand exactly what you're doing so you can play better, grow faster and comprehend more. His lessons are tailored specifically to the student to help reach the guitar goals you're trying to achieve.

Chris is great! I had already learned a little bit of guitar before I started taking lessons with Chris. He was able to assess where I was and figure out what things I need to learn to keep progressing. His lessons are a good mix of basics and fun, random stuff (e.g. guitar as a percussive instrument) that keeps things interesting. He's really attentive and is always interested in teaching me what I want, while still making sure that I understand just enough music theory to know why we're doing what we're doing. I highly recommend him!
