Phoenix Guitar Lessons

Passionate Guitar Teacher Seeking New Students!

Hello music lovers! I'm Chris Nastri, a seasoned guitarist and music educator based in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have over 17 years of experience sharing my love for music with students of all ages and abilities.

My Musical Journey

My journey with music began at the age of 15, initially inspired by the rock 'n' roll and heavy metal of the 90s. From there, my passion evolved to exploring diverse styles, from alternative and jazz to blues, rock, and everything in between. My formal education in Jazz Studies at ASU honed my skills in theory, improvisation, and ensemble playing.

Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is centered on nurturing your unique musical spirit and helping you discover your own voice. I believe learning music should be fun, engaging, and empowering. I tailor lessons to each student's individual goals and aspirations, whether you're a complete beginner or seasoned player seeking to expand your musical horizons.
