With a finely tuned ear and a guitar pick at the ready, I am Chris Rupp, the musical force behind GuitArmy and your guide on the exhilarating journey of mastering lead guitar techniques. A Berklee College of Music alumni, I have dedicated over two decades – that’s 24 years – to the art of guitar instruction, both in the flesh and through the digital realms of Zoom and online courses. Having shared my passion for the six strings in over 35,000 individual lessons, my mission has always been to not just teach guitar, but to inspire and elevate every student to their highest musical potential.

Music is a language that resonates universally, and I've been privileged to connect with a vibrant community of over 300,000 followers across social media platforms, each interaction fueling my dedication to music education. I don't just teach techniques; I foster a deep-seated love for guitar that transcends scales and chords. When you join my course, you're not just learning to shred; you're embarking on a transformative journey to find your unique voice on the fretboard and express it with confidence and flair.
