Chad McGee Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I use a very simple aproach to theory for beginners. Learning an instrument can be quite overwhelming for many. Depending on individual needs, we may just start learning some relative chords, or we may go into why certain scales or modes will work with different progressions.... or how to make that rockstar face when bending a string ;-D I have an aresenal of equipment, but may no.1 is my Les Paul. I am currently (and will always be) active in live music.
