Christie Macdonald

"Christie is an exceptionally hard worker, she pays attention to detail and goes above and beyond every time. She is determined, smart and a great team player who always brings a positive attitude. She is an incredible part of the team and a wonderful person."

"The best guitarist I’ve ever known. No hyperbole. She excels at every style and technique. I’m just an amateur guitarist but I work in theater and the events entertainment industry and I am always surrounded by guitarists and yet I forget how good it’s possible to be at the guitar until I hear here play. When she plays you hear independent bass lines, melody, and chords all from on instrument. As good as she is at the guitar, she is also effortlessly funny and a great and patient teacher. Which is rare for someone of her skill. I’d highly recommend her for any job that is anywhere close to a guitar."

"5 stars, fantastic!"

"Thanks for all your help. Timely response with great communication."

"Christie is an exceptional guitar instructor, and I saw the biggest improvement in my playing while taking lessons with her. She immediately got what I was trying to accomplish—especially coming to guitar lessons later in life—and tailored everything to fit my goals. She has a great way of teaching music theory through songs in the genres I actually enjoy, which made everything click much faster. Beyond that, she’s just an all-around awesome person. In fact, I even went up to NYC to see one of her shows—that’s how impactful she’s been. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow as a guitarist."
