Student reviews:

Review #1 I feel so lucky to have discovered Chris's website and have had him for guitar lessons this summer.  I was a total, total beginner, but had been wanting to learn to play guitar for forever, and Chris was the best intro to guitar I could have asked for!  

He's an incredible guitar player himself, so there's no doubt that he would be great with advanced students, but what's so cool about Chris is that he's excellent and passionate about teaching even the basics.  He was able to break everything down in a really helpful, easy to digest way, and was just incredibly encouraging.  

He's obviously super-dedicated to his students - I was in the habit of emailing Chris songs I was interested in learning how to play , and we'd be able to break them down and figure them out during my lesson each week.  So after just a couple of weeks of having lessons with Chris, I was not only learning the chords, but was also working on a bunch of my favorite songs.  It was awesome, and was all the motivation I needed to keep practicing.  

Each guitar lesson was productive and fun, and I can't recommend Chris highly enough!

Review #2 Chris is one of the most talented musicians I have ever met, but more importantly he is a skillful, thoughtful and creative teacher. I have had dozens of teachers over the years and he is without a doubt the best I've experienced. I am a professor during the day who plays guitar in my off hours as a total amateur. But Chris makes me feel like I can play real music. He motivates me by requiring discipline and taking no short cuts, but he is flexible and wide-ranging in his interests and expectations. For some reason, I work harder for him than any other teacher - I want to do the work and I want to impress him. He is also just a really sweet guy. So five stars and five more for Chris Haugen, without a doubt.
