Hi, I’m Chris. I’ve spent years learning guitar the hard way — through trial, error, and a lot of practice — and now I teach it the way I wish someone had taught me. Patient, hands-on, and tailored to exactly what you want to play and improve. Whether you’re picking this up seriously for the first time and ready to put in the work to build real habits from day one, or you’ve got the basics down and are pushing through a plateau, I meet you where you are.
I teach online guitar lessons for players at every level — beginners through advanced — with a focus on real technique, tone, and genuine musical growth, not just going through the motions. Right now I’m only taking on a handful of new students at a time, so I like to get to know a bit about you first before we start.
“Adapts to each individual student. Focused on developing your tone, musicality, and self expression. Clear diagrams. No dumb questions.”
— Kelvin R. (May 2024, Thumbtack)
“He is patient and works with you until he feels you have mastered the guitar skill that you’re learning before moving on to something else, even at a beginner’s level.”
— Kelly D. (July 2026, Superprof)
“His manner of instruction works to plant seeds that cannot be outgrown and get you immediately performing at a sustained level of mastery that you may not have imagined possible.”
— Michael E. (Jan 2014, Thumbtack)
“I still have every lesson, homework assignment, and handout that he gave me during the two years that I studied with him more than 20 years ago.”
— Tmichael K. (Aug 2014, Thumbtack)
“Amazing teacher, many lessons deep and still learning. I truly feel I’ve made progress I was unable to make without him.”
— Logan S. (Nov 2025, Superprof)
“He’s friendly and takes a step by step approach to help you learn how to play the guitar but also teaches you about music theory and the best practices. Absolutely love taking classes with him!”
— Claudia G. (Jan 2015, Thumbtack)

LESSONS
AVAILABLE
- $50 per 30-minute lesson — flat rate, no packages or gimmicks.
- Lessons are weekly — once a week, every week, not biweekly or monthly.
- Paid in advance: the first two lessons together to start, then once we’re locked in and moving forward, a month at a time (4 lessons).
- Space is limited right now for new students.
Email me a little about yourself — where you’re at with playing, and what you’re hoping to get out of lessons. If it feels like a good match, we’ll set up a free 10-minute video call just to talk it through before anything’s official. I’m looking for folks who are genuinely ready to commit to weekly lessons, real practice between sessions, and can comfortably make $50 a lesson part of their budget going forward — if that’s you, I’d love to hear from you.
