TrueFire Online Private Lessons
If you don’t live in an area where we can meet in person for 1-on-1 private instruction and you can’t commit to a weekly meeting online through my Skype Lessons program then consider TrueFire’s Online Private Lessons. It’s a learning platform that allows you to hook up with me in a no-pressure, flex time environment where we can exchange digital media: videos, audio, messages, charts, images and whatever else is required. This allows me to help you take your playing to the next level on your schedule.
There are two ways we can work together: Individual Private Lessons and Ongoing Private Lessons through my upcoming Channel called C.H.O.P.S. Individual Private Lessons can be booked one-at-a-time or in bulk. Each session starts with you uploading a video showing me what you’re working on or have questions about. Within 48 hours I will review your submission and get back to you with a video response accompanied by whatever assets (charts, diagrams, etc.) are needed. All of this takes place using TrueFire’s incredibly easy-to-use video tools. Ongoing Private Lessons are a much more in-depth experience and it all takes place in C.H.O.P.S. In addition to the open forum nature of Individual Private Lessons I will also help you organize your practicing with a focus on chops building. Here’s how…
Within C.H.O.P.S. is the lauded Guitar Gym curriculum where I created 500+ videos specifically designed to help you build your chops. This is done through what I call Workout Schedules. These are carefully designed practice regimens organized for your personal development through thoughtfully selected Skills and specifically tailored procedures on how to work on them.
The Guitar Gym goal-oriented approach works.
It’s been nothing short of incredible watching students from all over the planet get their chops together through this program. Since the start of Guitar Gym back in 2011 I’ve had the distinct honor and pleasure to work with students from Australia, Germany, Bermuda, Norway, Iraq, England, Portugal, Mexico, Switzerland, Sweden, Brazil, Ireland, Canada, Japan, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Poland, The Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, Bavaria, South Africa and Croatia. Of course, my beloved US of A is well represented with students from here in my home state of NJ to all the way out in Hawaii and just about everywhere in between.
Guitar Gym was so effective TrueFire made it a full blown series of interactive courses! That’s great news for those who can’t commit to any sort of private instruction with me, but still want to take advantage of the proven effectiveness of the Guitar Gym method. It gets better – you can now work with the Guitar Gym course series on-the-go with an iOS device through the TrueFire Guitar Lesson app!
Check out what some Guitar Gym students have to say…
“Best thing I ever did for my playing was sign up for the Gym. Better than any new gear, better than any book, or even video series. I needed direction, I got what I needed!”
-Charles Carter, USA
“Untold millions of YouTube viewers know that Chris is an unbelievable guitar player. But only Guitar Gymnasts know that he is also a world-class teacher. He’s devoted, hands on, relentlessly demanding and ever-encouraging. Chris has plenty of carrots and sticks up his sleeve, making sure that you’ll be the best player you dare to be. Results are real and fast (and fun!). Guitar Gym will keep you as busy as you want and push you as hard as you need. The short time I’ve been at the ‘Gym has redefined my whole attitude toward playing. Signing up is likely to be a watershed moment in your musical journey as well. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride!”
-Eran Salev, Israel
“…What else can I say?! This is the future of one-on-one personal musical development – what the internet was made for!
Chris Buono is not only a great musician and artist in his own right but he is also a master educator. He gives you the confidence and the encouragement to get you to a place where you truly believe in yourself and your abilities and then with utter mastery, he will have you chopping up the fretboard like there is no tomorrow and your life depends on it.
He will respectfully and with subtleness point out your weaknesses and find the triggers to push your buttons and get you up up and away! Wholly batfire! this man is a superhero. Well you know it does feel out of this world when as a musician and artist you find a teacher, someone who you come to respect very early on and who actually listens to you and takes a personal commitment to your own development. Awesome man.
Benefits: A strategy, a plan, a workout schedule, your own personal trainer – GREAT!
“Sherpaland” is a global playground of like minded individuals all wishing to re-ignite the fire and passion and belief in there own musical abilities. Fantastic…
I can be discussing my personal plan face to face with Chris, and at the same time planning a musical class project with classmates from Denmark, Germany, USA and the UK whilst watching footage of Pre-Production at the Hollywood Bowl… that’s what I’m talking about…
No pressure felt, your own pace, total commitment from the team and Chris.
Dr. Funk: Congrats man! I am a believer!!
Oh and I forgot to mention: You get homework… Every day… Awesome. Luv it.”
-Sam Papas, Australia
“I have been working on my technique in Chris’ Guitar Gym for a couple years. Chris’ dedication to his work with his students comes through on everything he does. He is detail oriented and organized. Expectations are clear. Questions are answered.
I think of Chris as my personal trainer for guitar. The Guitar Gym name fits perfectly. In my assignment workouts, Chris pushes me hard to take my playing to the next level. When that level is reached Chris finds the next detail to work on. While he pushes me hard to refine each detail, he understands that we all have a life beyond music. For me that means I get to the assignments when I get to them. As soon as I post a video, Chris is there with a response. Even when a Hurricane wipes out his house, his response time is quick.”
-Carlos Palomares, USA
“It’s as if Chris in front of Guitar Gym 24/7 – very fast response! Questions are answered within 24 hours , sometimes within minutes. He is the right person to go to if you got any guitar related question. Chris’ lesson material is well organized. I can’t imagine how much time was put into Guitar Gym. WOW!”
-Harry Wu, Taiwan
“As a musician in the military, I have found the need to be able to play just about anything. To this end Chris Buono is unmatched as an instructor. He has all the skills I would someday like to attain, and knows how to teach them! I recommend his instruction for anyone – especially those serious enough to want to make playing a profession!”
-Eric Benzant-Feldra, United States Army
