Hi there. I'm Chris, your new Guitar Teacher 

I wanted to just take a moment to share my story of how I got into music and a bit of my history within the music industry. Most importantly though, I want you to understand why Guitjamz exists and how I can help you realize your full playing potential with 1on1 guitar lessons or one of my superb guitar classes

I liked music from a young age having always being around it, whether it be the radio, Dad's record collection or whatever but it was at the ​age of 7, my life was radically turned upside down by experiencing the power of music.  One Saturday morning, whilst watching TV, a music video for AC/DC‘s Thunderstruck came on and my jaw just hit the floor! I was immediately drawn to Angus Young the lead guitarist and the raw powerful sound of AC/DC. In that moment, I was instilled with an overwhelming passion for guitar and 7 year old me, wanted to be just like Angus! I begged my parents for months, they figured at first it was a fad, but when they saw how serious I was, they bought me my first guitar and enrolled me in guitar lessons. My musical journey had begun. 

​

 

Flash forward 30 years of endlessly practicing guitar, I'm now into my 21st year as a professional musician. I've played everything from Bach to Bowie from Madonna to Metallica, from Pink Floyd to Pink.   I’ve toured nationally with radio and TV airplay, supported Aussie bands like The Angels and The Screaming Jets to name a few and I gig every weekend as a solo artist. It all started with one AC/DC video! 

​

It was in 2005, I became more passionate about seeing other guitarists start THEIR journey and so under the expert tutelage of Gavin and Jillian from Music Spot Education Centre, I learned how to hone my skills as a guitar teacher. In 2008, I began my own tuition school and today, previously known as Guitar1on1, Guitjamz,  is one of the leading music instruction schools based in Logan City and Brisbane and I've helped thousands of students over the years achieve their goals through my services offering guitar lessons. 

​

I believe wholeheartedly in the healing power of music. The science behind the benefits of studying music for a child and how it aids them in their studies through school into tertiary education and their development. The positives in studying music aren't just for kidz either! It's been shown conclusively that studying music helps a fully developed brain retain memory, focus, motor function far better than adults who don't study. Music is a full brain workout! 

​

But the best part? GUITAR IS JUST SO MUCH FUN! 

 

GUITJAMz offers you the very best in guitar tuition for people of all ages and levels. Whoever you are, wherever you are from, I want to help you become the guitarist you dream of becoming. 

​

SO HOW CAN I DO THAT? That's a great question! 

​

Firstly, I offer you a free 30 minute meet and greet with me to assess where you are up to in your musical journey, then we discuss where you'll be best placed either in one of our amazing group classes. NEWBIEz ADULTz, NEWBIEz KIDZ or our exciting SHRED class.  Where applicable, Guitjamz can offer 1on1 guitar lessons, but I generally recommend new students book into one of our guitar classes to realize the maximum benefits of Guitjamz unique curriculum! 

​

So what are you waiting for? Let's jam!

Coming from no musical background at all I found Chris’s website and decided to give guitar lessons a go. 7 months later and I have found playing guitar rewarding and something I look forward to each day. Chris is easy going and is open to questions throughout the lesson. He provides encouragement but also provides honest feedback on where I need to improve. The lessons are well structured and have given me steady progression without making me feel overwhelmed. I would gladly recommend Chris to anyone interested in learning the guitar- 

What are you waiting for? 
Let's Jam!
