Your instructor
I’m Chris Rupp, guitar instructor and founder of GuitArmy. With a Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music and over 25 years of full-time teaching, I’ve taught more than 35,000 one-on-one lessons. I’ve spent decades breaking down the sounds of 80’s rock—EVH-style tapping, wide vibrato, Lynch/Rhoads bends, and melodic runs—so you can nail era-authentic licks with accuracy and attitude.
My teaching is hands-on and musical: I distill each lick into clear, repeatable moves, connect it to the fretboard and simple theory, and show how to make it groove, sing, and cut through a mix. With over 625,000 followers and 500+ million views on social media, I’m passionate about helping players of all levels lock in the feel, tone, and confidence of killer 80’s rock guitar. Let’s crank it up and take your playing to the next level.
