    Guitar Lessons

    Chris’ guitar lessons focus on both technique and music theory, using songs as the mechanism to hone good technique. Early on, you will be playing songs like “Rumble” by Link Wray and “Evil” by Howlin’ Wolf to get acquainted with the fretboard. When you’re ready for an additional challenge, you can take on Chris’ “Master Of Puppets” unit (which actually pre-dates the “Stranger Things” appearance by several months) to really test your technique. If Nirvana and Grunge is more your speed, Chris has an entire unit that will teach you about Kurt Cobain’s rig, influences, and songwriting technique. Chris also teaches how to music from the soundtracks of video games (like Mario, Sonic, Cuphead, Mega Man, and more!) on the guitar. Beyond that, Chris is a tremendous resource when it comes time to purchase musical equipment. As someone well-acquainted with the instrument market, he will help you find the right equipment for *you* at the best prices and educate you so that you’ll be equipped to make savvy purchases for yourself in the future.

    About Christopher N.

    Chris is a multi-instrumentalist who has been playing music his whole life and guitar since he was 13. Growing up, his favorite band was Fugazi, a Washington D.C.-based punk band and his obsession to learn how to play every song on all of their albums transformed into a deep passion for music theory and the underlying songwriting mechanics that made him love the music that he loved. During High School, he studied with Marty Tams of Limelight Entertainment in Phoenix, Arizona. During college, he performed in numerous groups with UNT Jazz majors where he was the only member of the group not in the music program. Since college, he has played in countless bands (often on extremely short notice as a fill-in) and always is looking for new musical challenges to take his unique brand of guitar playing-punk shredder spirit with a professional-level focus on best technique-to the next level.
