Banjo Teachers
Meet our team of highly skilled banjo instructors, each dedicated to providing expert guidance in this unique instrument.
Chris Lund
Teaching full-time since 1997. Consistently manages 30-55 students weekly — that kind of student commitment speaks volumes about his teaching effectiveness.
- One of his former students, Jared Dines, landed on the cover of Guitar Player Magazine in 2020 and gave Chris a major shout-out. An awesome validation, and a credible second opinion!
- As a performer, Chris has released 11 full-length albums over three decades with his bans, Loser and Lund Bros — guitar-hook rock reminiscent o Cheap Trick, Queen, and The Beatles
Chris has been teaching guitar full-time since 1997 with a client load ranging from 30-55 students weekly/monthly and was a resident teacher at many music stores in the greater Tacoma/Pierce County WA up until the present when he relocated to Phoenix AZ in June of 2021. One of his former students, Jared Dines, was featured on the cover of Guitar Player Magazine in 2020 and gave Chris a big shout-out in his video-taped interview with them. With his band’s, Loser, International Pop Overthrow and currently Lund Bros he has released 11 full length CDs over the course of the last three decades. All these records are comprised of original songs and have received highly favorable reviews throughout the world. This music is guitar and vocal hook-based rock – think Cheap Trick, Queen, the Beatles, and Badfinger for example. In the decade prior to forming the band Loser in 1993, Chris performed full time as lead guitarist and backing vocalist in many band’s ranging from rock, blues, funk, c&w, and top 40. Though Chris specialized in Rock for his own recordings and performances, he is well-versed in many styles, teaching Blues, Jazz and Classical guitar and accepted students of all ability levels.
