Student Reviews
Chris is a really patient and great teacher, each week we would go over a few exercises during my hour long lesson and he would leave me with an assignment to work on. Because of him able to explain things and make sure you understand them it really motivated me to practice on my own and prepared me for the next lesson where we were able to move on and learn something new! :)

The electric guitar was patented by George Beauchamp in 1936. However, it was Danelectro that first produced electric guitars for the wider public.
