Tessa C. says, "I started taking lessons from Chris about two months ago as an absolute beginner and have seen a huge improvement over that time. Chris designs his lessons with a mix of standard/fundamental guitar exercises and songs of your choosing and it's great working with a teacher who understands that practicing needs to be fun in order to make you want to keep learning. In addition to building lessons that make learning guitar fun, Chris also works with me to coordinate lessons around my already busy schedule. One of my biggest roadblocks to finally starting guitar lessons was finding a teacher who would be flexible on timing and work with me to build guitar into my life, and Chris has done a wonderful job coordinating with me to make lessons possible. It's been such a great experience to learn a new skill as an adult and I would 10/10 recommend lessons with Chris!" Read more

The fact is that jazz is the foundation of guitar playing across all musical genres. Based on this philosophy, my goal is to teach my students music theory, technique, and improvisation so they can fully master the guitar fretboard and develop the skills required to perform music at a high artistic level. A major part of my lessons focuses on understanding jazz standards and developing the ability to analyze these tunes. Through this process, students gain a deeper understanding of harmony, melody, rhythm, and improvisation, which can then be applied to any style of music

I have been teaching my entire adult life, and then some. I have been a professional musician for that same length of time. This is not a side hustle, music is my life. I hope to ignite in you the same passion I have for my instrument and music in general. We can learn tunes or theory, improvisation, ear-training, guitar solos or even solos from other instruments, within the parameters of the guitar. We can talk about gear, or auditioning for a band or school.We can study whatever you wish that's level-appropriate, or I can make recommendations.

Children can start blues guitar lessons between the ages of 6 to 10 years old at the earliest. The best time is whenever they can hold the instrument easily and have the hand strength to press on the strings.

Adults of all ages can learn to play blues guitar with the right instruction and regular practice.

  • Check prices from 3 different teachers and ask what they'll teach you.
  • Read what others said about them on Google and on the Lessons website.
  • Ask for a list of other people they've taught to see if they're good.
  • For kids, ask other moms and dads what their kids say about the teacher.
  • Get a plan on paper about when your lessons will be before you start.
  • Pay a little at first to see if you like the teacher before you pay for a whole month.

  • What books should I get, and do you know where I could find used ones?
  • How many different blues guitar techniques can you teach?
  • If I'm struggling with learning, can you change the way you teach me?
  • What should I bring to class, and how long is each lesson?

  • If I have an urgent problem and need to cancel, what happens?
  • Can I choose some songs that I want to learn?

I found Chris on lessons.com when I started my bass guitar journey. Before jumping into anything, he asked for background information before structuring lessons that would best fit my needs. I started working with Chris in the middle of September and I am so glad I was able to connect with someone who listens and encourages you to take an extra step when you may not feel confident to do so. Since working with Chris I have learned and gained an extraordinary amount of musical theory, playing by ear, and technical skills on the bass. He is an excellent teacher who is patient, kind and knowledgeable in this field. I highly recommend hiring Chris as either your bass guitar, guitar, or double bass teacher. Regardless of your age or skill level Chris will make sure that you are successful in your journey!
