Chris, I wanted to thank you so much for teaching me guitar. You inspired me in ways that you will never know. You taught me licks and how to write a great song. I remember how I used to practice solos that you taught me until I had them note for note. Thankyou so much for giving me the tools to become successful. Thankyou for being a great teacher.
