When I started taking guitar lessons from Christian, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had never played guitar before, and I was nervous about starting something new. But Christian was a great teacher. He was patient with me as I learned the basics, and he was always encouraging. I never felt like I was struggling or that I couldn't do it. After a few lessons, I was starting to get the hang of it. And now, after taking lessons from Christian for a while, I'm really happy with my progress. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn guitar. He's a great teacher, and you'll be happy with your first lesson.
