"I think I learned more in the first 4 weeks than I had in 4 decades of playing. It really is like a Rosetta Stone for unlocking the language of jazz." - Matt Drummond - Member for 1.5 years
"It's been more than worth the money and time...I mean I've never bought a year subscription to anybody on a site like that." - Dave Ruggiero - Member for 6 months
"Chase Maddox has made such a difference in how I play music...His videos are super clear...he's always generous and practically gives away his stuff." - Robert Blake - Member for 6 months
"Chase is an awesome player and musician. Furthermore, he's an excellent and supportive educator who can teach us at any level...in summary, this is the best jazz guitar experience I have ever had."

"CGA is an excellent program to develop jazz guitar skills and the theory to apply it.
We can learn with CGA ...but you have to be patient and ...focus! Just my .2 cents."

""I was watching Chase regularly and thought well, I'll join his academy...I thought if it doesn't work out I can leave, but I'm here a year later and I plan on staying." - Rich M. - Member for 1+ year
"I've had a number of good moments in CGA, but I think my most meaningful moments are those that occur every month or two...where I realize I'm definitely doing things I couldn't do in the past. - Max J. - Member for 2 Years
"I stumbled upon where Chase was teaching. I did like his presentation and style, and I decided to sign with CGA. I have learned so much over the years and one of my best moments is...where Chase gives you the opportunity to continue a line from your own creativity." - Pierre D. - Member for 2 Years
"The period before joining CGA I had a musical blindspot, everything I played was copied. Now after a year, instead of being afraid of searching for the next note, like stepping on a minefield, I'm looking to hear which gives me a feeling of self-assurance." - Fred K. - Member for 1 Year
