If you want to learn guitar the "right" way Greg Chako is your man. He is well educated in music theory and a highly accomplished professional composer and jazz musician. Jazz is his passion, but Greg can play it all. He is a patient teacher with the right amount of encouragement for any age or any level of student. Greg also has a dry sense of humor so sessions are always fun.

I work with Greg for a couple years at DHR guitar experience, a boutique guitar shop in the Cincinnati area. I found them to be very professional and informative. I've known of Greg as a professional Jazz guitarist for a number of years and after meeting him at the opportunity to take jazz guitar lessons from him. I was not surprised at the extensive knowledge he had of the guitar and applying Jazz to it. From dominant Court scales, pentatonic scales, upper structured triads, tritone substitution, 2-5-1 chord voicings, to harmonic movement and harmonizing melodies with chord solos I have found Greg to be superior in instruction has applied to jazz guitar. If you're really serious about jazz guitar then Greg is the instructor that most satisfies that discipline.

I've taken several lessons from Greg. He's an excellent teacher and very generous with his time and resources. In addition, I've heard Greg perform at various venues. He's as accomplished performing live as he is on the CD's he's recorded.

Greg is an inspiration to new and experienced guitar players with his vast knowledge in theory and playing and understanding the needs of the student.
