Learn with a teacher with thirty years experience in teaching, playing and recording almost every style that’s been popular in the West from the fifties to the present.

Whether you play acoustic or electric, are a beginner or advanced, you will learn to play the kinds of music that interest you.
​
As an improvising musician, I can also help you to explore your own musical language, write songs, and become a confident and creative performer.

"Not only does  Chris Palmer  always  surprise you  with his guitar playing,  but he has studied  so much music that  he can explain  exactly what he’s doing,  and give you its  historical context  in terms of  right here and  right now.  Not many musicians blend  adventurousness and scholarship  the way Chris does."

"Chris is the  perfect teacher  for someone coming back to music  having  learned the basics in the past.  He has introduced  new (for me)  theory and techniques  that push  me  farther than I've ever gone before into unfamiliar  genres,  scales,  and chords,  yet he always prioritizes  feel,  expression,  and what  'sounds good'  to the way I play. 
I treasure  every session I have with Chris - each one improves my performance  as well as my  appreciation of music in general."
