All New Live Classes Coming in 2025! đž
Live classes to learn music theory, build your repertoire, elevate your comping, expand your improvising vocabulary, and build fluency across the fretboard!
Jazz Groove Lab
Everything starts with rhythm, and being able to read and play rhythms is critical to your development as a guitarist.
In this class we'll improve our sight reading, build on our rhythmic accuracy and precision, and apply it to the most common rhythms in jazz.


Rapid Repertoire Builders
This class is a live workshop all about mastering the fundamentals over the top jazz standards.
You'll work on practical exercises that build your technique and speed, while connecting everything to making music.
The Art of Jazz Accompaniment
One of the most overlooked aspects of guitar playing is how to play in support of a soloist.
In this class, we'll look at specific techniques from the masters to expand our range of techniques, improve our understanding of harmony, and become great accompanists that everyone loves jamming with!


Finish That Line
It's not enough to learn the theory of playing jazz...we have to learn the language that masters of this genre have built upon for decades.
In this class, we'll break down the essential jazz vocabulary from classic solos, and learn the exact method to integrate them into our playing in real-time.
Chase's Guitar Workshop
Â
Bonus Class!
Every now and then a topic will come up in the CGA Community that members are excited to go deeper on.
This might be because a recent YouTube video I posted sparks new ideas or because one of the Jazz Master Classes opened up a new perspective for people.
When that happens, I'll host an in-depth session that goes deep on that concept or technique.

When I do open up spots, it's only for current CGA members and $100/hr.
However, to make the Season of Madness even better I'll be giving new CGA members...
- The FIRSTÂ person to sign up for an annual Pro Plan will get an entire year (12) of 1-on-1 lessons with me! (This could be you if you sign up right now...)
