Guitar with Chris G.

Hi I'm Chris G. I'm bringing 12 years of professional music experience, as well as a 2 year certificate from the Player's School of Music. One could say I'm formally self-taught. I started playing gigs from the young age of 18. I have a full range of styles and sounds I've learned over the years. If it's out there, I can teach you to play it. I've played in bands with styles ranging from acoustic folk and bluegrass to loud rock and funk. I am all about music. I am a member of the music ministry at Substance Church of Roseville. I have successfully passed a back round check at my church. I desire to work with people of all ages to help them become better musicians. It's what I love to do. I have been teaching for over two years now, right out of music school. Can't wait to show you all I have to offer. A professional yet fun approach. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons will vary based upon the level of the student. It includes harnessing the student's raw talent in combination with fun, practical approach to musical concepts. Including: -Learning to play your favorite songs. note by note. -Student/Teacher Play-along and backing tracks. -Learning different musical styles -Learning Contemporary Harmony (Diatonic Harmony and Nashville numbers system) -Learning to Spell Chords -Learning Scales -Sight Reading (highly encouraged, not required) We dive into learning a song that the student wants to learn. I'll prepare two assignments to be practiced through to the next lesson. We review, we either move on or stay on the assignment until they've grasped the concept. We simply continue to learn songs and musical ideas together until the student knows how to teach themselves. *** Studio Equipment *** Lakland 5 String Bass -Lakland 4 String P Bass -David Eden WT 1000 Amplifier -David Eden 2x10 Cab -David Eden 4x10 cab -David Eden 2x12 -Gallien Kruger 1x12 Combo -Nord Stage 2 88 Key Piano -Alvarez 6 String Acoustic Guitar -Line 6 Modeling Guitar Amp *** Travel Equipment *** Lakland 5 String Bass -Lakland 4 String -Alvarez 6 String Acoustic Guitar Galien Kruger 1 x 12 Combo *** Specialties *** My best quality is helping a student learn how to function and play well with a band.
