Live performance energy meets clear, personalized music instruction.
On-Stage Experience
Three years of stage experience as lead guitarist across several bands. Currently performing in Chicago with a focus on indie/alternative and classic blues/rock sets.

Dialed for clarity and feel — from glassy cleans to expressive overdrive — tailored to the room and the set.
About Connor
I am a self-taught multi-instrumentalist with a primary focus in guitar and music theory. The time spent honing my craft has allowed me to cater lessons to the needs of each individual student — without countless hours turning wheels with no real progress. My experience with piano helps apply core music concepts across instruments, and my teaching experience lets me break down struggles into simple, effective exercises that turn weaknesses into strengths.
Genres
I enjoy most genres, drawing inspiration from indie/alternative bands and blues/rock guitarists like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and David Gilmour.
