Introduction
Hello, I've been playing guitar since I was a kid. Playing and writing music as an artist has been the source of great enjoyment and adventure over the years. I offer guitar lessons at all levels. I also offer songwriting recording and bass playing. I just wanna clear it up right now I live in Manhattan. Traveling out of Manhattan to see a student in person is practically impossible. So if you don't live right in new york city, it's probably better if we work online through zoom. If you pick me to be your teacher you need to be no more than a half an hour away on the subway. Thumbtack will charge me up to $28 to talk to you if you choose me as your teacher or we come up as an exact match and then they will not reimburse me even if you're too far away to meet up. Back to working together I have a lot of knowledge that I'm eager to share with you. Part of what you will learn if we team up together are details of how to improve your expression in your playing. I'm also a registered ASCAP music publisher. Hope to hear from you soon and get to jamming on some tracks!

I had specific requirements of what I needed in a guitar teacher. I already was somewhat skilled on the instrument but had found I was no longer progressing. Chris was able to analyze what was holding me back and through his lessons I improved my playing with his excellent method of theory and practice. I would recommend Chris to both beginning and advanced students.

Chris is a great teacher and his ability to construct lessons for my personal needs and growth enabled me to surpass my expectations. He gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to keep playing even when I got frustrated. Whatever my skill level reaches I can count on Chris to help me get to the next level. Thank you Chris for teaching me! Rock On Bro!
