Spotlight Licks: Chris Livingston

This Spotlight Lick is brought to you by Rock Bottom Music guitar instructor Chris Livingston. Chris teaches all ages, styles and levels of guitar. He is going to show us how to do some cool pedal steel like bends on the guitar. These things can spice up your solos. They are very popular to be used in riffs too, think Honky Tonk Women by the Rolling Stones. I am not writing out any tab for this because he does a great job showing you in the video. Have some fun with this. I f you or anyone you know is looking for lessons call Chris at 706-589-2112.

Chris Livingston : Rock Bottom Spotlight

Chris Livingston has contributed a "Spotlight Lick" before and I thought it would be cool to spotlight another teacher from Rock Bottom Music. Chris has been teaching for 10 years now and has been playing for over 25 years. He currently plays in 48 Volt. Chris started playing because his cousin had an Ibanez Destroyer guitar and jammed out on Def Leapard and other kick butt rock n roll and it gave him inspiration. He started learning from a buddy back in high school when he moved here from North Carolina. It snow balled from there to him learning from anyone he could and by ear. He also had an uncle that showed him some things. Why does he teach guitar? It's what he likes to do. It also makes him learn more by teaching. Teaching re-lit his fire for guitar. Seeing a new players smile when they learn their first song or chord is highly rewarding. His enjoyment helps the kids enjoy it and vise versa! Chris teaches ages 9 and up and a variety of different styles- blues , country, metal, rock and modern popular music. He caters the lessons to what the student likes. He will start a new person with with basic fundamentals and get them playing the songs they like as soon as possible. Anyone out there who thought of learning but has never taken that first step your first lesson is free! Give Chris a call at 706-589-2112 and get started!
