“I am a strong believer of making the art of music exciting to learn, after all, we all want to learn music because we enjoy it! My lessons are tailored to suit your abilities and aspirations, keeping it light and laid back in the process”. - Christian

From Beginners to Advanced Players

Whether you play electric or acoustic guitar, have been playing for years or just starting out, Christian has invaluable tools and ideologies to take your playing to the next level.

Chords and scales are essential skills that all great guitar players know, and so Christian is an advocate for these highly important areas of music. He will show you how to master the art of perfect practice, and break down how professional, successful and legendary artists honed their craft. Once you understand the application you will be able to do the same with your own playing. Lessons will cover technique, songwriting, theory, performance and musicianship, with a wide variety of genres including Blues, Rock, Metal, Pop, Funk, Acoustic and many more.

Christian has professional microphones set up for his guitar and voice, so that you get the best audio quality possible. All you need for your online lesson is your guitar, internet connection, and any device to connect to Zoom.

Student Testimonials

Christian Rivers teaching guitar lessons online via Zoom.

Chris is a phenomenal musician and a fantastic teacher. The years he has spent truly studying his art really show; and now he puts just as much effort into finding the best way to pass on what he knows. He makes his encyclopaedic knowledge completely accessible and has demystified what to me was the impenetrable cloud of “theory”. Now I am playing and writing music with a freedom I didn’t think I could ever achieve. I have improved more as a guitarist and all round musician in 1 year with Chris than I did in 20 years learning by myself!” - Jim

As an ageing Rocker, returning to playing guitar after 40 years, I soon realised that I needed some serious help! Luckily, I found Chris about two years ago and have been having regular lessons ever since. There are two things about his teaching style that I really appreciate - his endless patience with my slow progress, and the way he always paces the lesson just ahead of my current understanding, so that I always feel stretched and challenged in the lesson. Chris is an awesome player and an outstanding tutor. If you’re looking for lessons, he’s your man!” - Steve

“I thought my guitar playing had plateaued for a while but since starting lessons with Chris, I’m really seeing a difference! Chris helps me focus on good technique, which has meant unlearning some bad habits and replacing them with good ones. This is not easy when you are a more ‘mature’ student, but luckily Chris is very patient and good at breaking things down. He is a very talented musician, an effective teacher and a pleasure to have lessons with.” - Lynne
