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.

Modern Day, Newspaper, where you’re the Headlines.
The Classifieds feels like the modern day newspaper, but the headline is you. It gives serious Skool owners a clear, public space to share what’s in their heart without feeling pushy or spammy. The structure keeps it organized, the culture keeps it supportive, and the visibility makes it powerful. What stands out most is Shannon’s thoughtful leadership. You can feel the care in how intentionally this space is run. It’s encouraging, well-structured, and built on mutual growth.

February Frenzy...so much fun!
I loved this CLASSIFIEDS event. There was alot of activity, engagement and insight during this 24hours. It was a great concentrated way to learn about what other community owners are doing, a great way to get some concentrated exposure and potential customers! I would recommend this type of event in all communities. The 24hour deadline really creates urgency and excitement!

Hidden gem for Skool community owners
As someone who's been building my community on Skool for a few months now, I was excited to find a community like this, that allows promotion of your Skool. It's such a simple concept, having a dedicated space to showcase what you've built, to people who are already looking, makes such a difference. If you're a community owner wondering how to get more eyes on your work, this community allows you to shine. Very generous offering.
