Hi, my name is Chris B and I've been playing guitar for 25 years and teaching for 13 years.  In my experience, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works for private lessons. So I tailor all of my teaching methods for the individual student. You let me know what you want to learn and I’ll teach it to you!

I fully customize my lessons for the individual student!

Chris has been an awesome teacher for the full year I have been doing lessons with him. He is very interactive in the lessons. He is open to different genres and styles of music which makes learning and playing easier and more enjoyable. I always feel able to ask questions and Chris always gives great advice and resources for help.

Chris is a great teacher for my 11 year old daughter. From the very first lesson they were working on real songs which has made all the difference. He breaks things down really clearly and she has made amazing progress. Plus- she has a good time, even with the online format.

Awesome first lesson for our 14 year old daughter! She’s pumped to continue with Chris, and we’re pleased with the entire process so far.

I have been taking lessons from Chris for 5 years. He is very open to learn and teach all styles of music. in turn, allowing me learn and play music  I though i never would. His guidance in "the technology" of music is also greatly appreciated.
The learning experience with Chris is top notch, never an issue with communication or punctuality.Always able to move around his busy schedule for the "adult" student.
I want to thank Chris for allowing to find my "Soul Mustard" He is the best you can find

Chris is an awesome instructor! He was patient and professional. I was truly a beginner and Chris helped me every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone looking to pick up a guitar or further enhance your skills. Thanks for all the help!

Chris has been a great teacher. He is incredibly friendly and by tailoring his lessons to my music tastes, he helped me progress much farther than I would have alone.

Chris is a great teacher! He makes you feel very comfortable. As a beginner player, Chris breaks down everything so you can easily follow. He is friendly and patient and I highly recommend him! He is the BEST!!

I've been taking lessons from Chris for 2 months now.  He's exceptional in his teaching methods and makes each lesson enjoyable.  I'm a beginner and learning my first chorded song.  He's been excellent at taking his time and breaking the song down to where I feel comfortable playing. 
He's easily reached by email, and has sent me audio files of himself playing the song we're working on to help me with my practice.  I leave my lessons pumped and excited to play.  I highly recommend him!!

I had my second lesson with Chris today.  He's exactly the type of teacher I've searched for.  He's very easy going and optimistic.   I appreciate the fact he grabs his guitar and plays along with me, it makes learning rhythm so much easier for someone who learns by seeing and following along.  I highly recommend him.

Chris is an incredibly knowledgeable guy, an incredible producer and an incredible musician. An absolute master at his craft. Not too mention he is an all around solid guy, amiable, meticulous and professional in everything he does. I have gained huge strides with his tutoring. He is everything you can ask for in an instructor and more. I owe whatever skills and knowledge I have gained to his instruction and I have achieved far more than I could have ever expected under his tutelage.

Chris does a great job.  My daughter and I both enjoy his lessons.  Always ends it with something new.  And yes Chris we still practice every day!

I had a great first lesson.  Chris  tailors the lesson for the individual.  He asked me what songs I wanted to learn and  customized the lesson  around that, so I can learn those songs first. I would definitely recommend Chris. I am a beginner and he keeps it simple and gives good direction. I look forward to continue lessons and see my progression.

I had my first meeting with chris today. I was feeling a bit intimidated before i met him seeing all his credentials and experience. I need not have worried. He made me feel super comfortable and explained all the nuts and bolts of guitar on my level of understanding which is very basic. He was able to relay the lesson to me in a way that made so much sense, it just clicked. I left feeling very accomplished and very much looking forward to the next lesson
