You don't need bread communities. But you du NEED THIS ONE!

Ever wonderd why there's communities about bread, or if you need them? The answer is: You need THIS one. Here we help each other, are kind, learn from each other and are able to show what we're proud of. And everybody will love it! Got a question? Not even 5 minutes later some will have helped you. It's truly amazing. I'm so so happy to be part of this community. Thank you Henry, for building auch a wonderful space to communicate!

One of the best guitar communities I've been in.

I just wanted to stop by and leave this review for Chris's community. I've been in this community from the very beginning, and I've learnt so much from Chris's expertise! What I love are the really down-to-earth and simple tutorials that help you learn guitar, and I 100% recommend this community to anyone who is just getting started!

Beginner or Experienced - This is the place for connection and growth

I love this community for the conversations, the connections and growth in guitar playing skills. I've played guitar of over 50 years - not well - but I do play. My guitar broke about 5 years ago and in 2 weeks I'll be purchasing a new one. All because Chris re ignited my excitement about playing again. It's one thing to go "youtube" how to play - it's quite another to have someone you can ask questions of when you just don't understand something. Bonus my husband is going to take up guitar also!

Real Progress, Real Songs, Real Fast

I wouldn’t consider myself a complete beginner -- I’m more of a self-taught player in that intermediate range -- but this class has been incredibly valuable for me in a way I didn’t expect. It’s helped me go back and actually understand the foundational skills I either skipped or picked up incorrectly along the way, and that alone has made a huge difference in how I approach playing. What really stands out is how well everything is broken down. The lessons are clear, step-by-step, and easy to follow without ever feeling overwhelming or overly basic. Chris has a way of explaining things that just click, whether you’re brand new or trying to clean up bad habits like I was. But what makes this class different is that it’s not just drills or theory, you’re learning through music right away. Chris chooses a lot of well-known songs and riffs, and breaks them down into simple, manageable pieces so you can actually play something recognizable pretty quickly. That immediate sense of progress and accomplishment is huge, especially if you’ve ever felt stuck or discouraged trying to learn on your own. On top of that, there’s a really fun community aspect built in. The challenges and interactive pieces keep you engaged and give you something to work toward, instead of just passively watching lessons. It makes the whole experience feel more like you’re part of something, not just learning in isolation. Honestly, it’s been a great reset for me as a player. Whether you’re a true beginner or someone who’s been self-teaching and wants to tighten up your fundamentals, this is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways I’ve found to do it. You can tell Chris genuinely cares about helping people learn, and it shows in how the whole program is put together.
