Christopher has loved music from a very young age. At the age of 5 he built a makeshift podium so he could pretend to conduct to Tchaikovsky. At 6 he was making guitars out of yardsticks, rubber bands, shoeboxes, and twine and pretending to play along with Beatles and Disney cartoon movie songs.

50 years later, after learning and playing a variety of music from Van Halen, to Duke Ellington, to Beethoven, in rock, blues, jazz and classical styles, achieving a BA in Music with emphasis in Applied Guitar, he is still at it, composing music and teaching. His encyclopedic knowledge of music and the guitar makes him an essential guide and mentor on the Guitar Tricks forum and as a teacher in our tutorials!
