About Chris Quinn - main teacher...

Over the past two decades acoustic guitarist and songwriter Chris Quinn has made a great name for himself in the world of folk, blues, jazz and acoustic music.


His performances have been described by fellow musicians as "a masterclass in the acoustic guitar", his songs have been critically acclaimed in publications such as Acoustic Magazine and SONGLiNES and his recordings have received airplay on countless radio stations across the world including Mark Radcliffe's benchmark show the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show.

2021 will see Chris Quinn developing his new guitar tuition site AcousticMasterclass.com having been awarded a coveted Arts Council England grant. The platform is set to help guitar students and fans around the world learn directly from some the best known players in the world of folk, blues, roots and acoustic music.

Starting in March 2021, every fews week Chris is inviting a guest tutor to provide a course at AcousticMasterclass.com. The course will include studio filmed lessons with accompanying music sheets and lessons are accessed by visiting the site.

There will be a free mini course from each guest tutor plus the chance to buy into the main course giving students access to the full course and if they buy in time, the chance to join a live online masterclass workshop followed by a Zoom style Q&A with the guest tutors. Students will also get a month's trial access to the full site - 100's of video tutorials, the members forum, the Zoom time table etc.

Away from his tuition work when performing live Chris Quinn delivers a genre bending set covering everything that sits within the "roots music" category;

Original songs with phenomenal guitar work and polished vocals, bluegrass flatpicking (honed from numerous USA tours), mean delta blues, beautiful and authentic Celtic ballads, intricate DADGAD workouts, hot jazz swing guitar, ragtime and much more. His shows are delivered with humour, musical explanations and uplifting stories about his time on the road.

When not playing solo Chris is often seen performing alongside many of the planet's most revered guitarists including Robin Nolan, Clive Carroll, John Doyle and Paulus Schäfer.

Not to mention during the summer of 2021, if the pandemic allows, he's set to perform concerts with two of the world's most celebrated gypsy jazz guitarists, Stochelo Rosenberg and his younger cousin Jimmy Rosenberg.
