ABOUT ME
Since age 11 guitar has been a companion, always offering up something new to work on. It's never been boring.
I've been fortunate to learn from great musicians both in my time at Berklee College of Music and those that I play with professionally.
I've been teaching guitar lessons for over 20 years and performing for more than 30. I bring that wealth of experience and a passion for playing to my teaching.
I believe that the best way to learn guitar is by doing. I focus on teaching my students practical skills that they can use to play the music they love and develop their own unique sound.
Contact me if you need guitar lessons from an experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate instructor.

What sets Chris apart from any other instructor I’ve worked with is that he was the first person who really listened, listened again, and then listened some more. We work technique and conventional practice methods, but the main reason my playing has dramatically improved is because Chris's objective has always been to help me find myself in the instrument.

As someone who has had multiple guitar teachers, I wish I found Chris at the beginning. Whether it’s theory, brushing up on basics, starting over on things from my youth, or just learning some of my favorite songs, Chris is accommodating and patient. My playing since taking lessons with Chris has greatly improved. I highly recommend grabbing a session and seeing where he can take your playing.

Chris is an amazing guitar teacher! He’s taught my kids for over 11 years. Chris has been able to modify his teaching to fit each student from kindergartner to senior in high school. My younger son has also worked closely with Chris on composition. I can’t say enough good things!
