5.0Mercer Island, WA
Ages 0–18About this program
Private guitar instruction from a working Seattle-area blues guitarist and bandleader, taught from a studio in the First Hill neighborhood on the north end of Mercer Island. Lessons cover electric and acoustic guitar plus electric bass and ukulele, with a rounded curriculum spanning rock, pop, blues, jazz and fingerstyle, and are personalized to each student's goals rather than a fixed syllabus. Beginners through advanced players of all ages are accepted, and lessons are also offered remotely over Zoom, FaceTime or Skype.
Students and parents describe Chris as kind, patient and consistent, and credit him with building a solid technical foundation while leaving students free to develop their own style and direction. One recent review from a local family says he inspires their kids to play both electric and acoustic guitar. Reviewers repeatedly point to his depth of experience as a performing guitarist as something he passes on in lessons.
