Chad Coggin

Chad Coggin has been playing guitar since he was a little kid, though not continuously. He stopped a few times to sleep, eat, go to work, and, more recently, to get a haircut. Chad currently lives near Atlanta, Georgia USA, and is working on an instrumental album and accompanying instructional DVD.Chad's influences range from rock and metal to jazz and classical, with an emphasis on slippery, flowing lines. Though his initial exposure to guitar was through classical guitar training, most of his electric style comes from experimenting on his own and stealing ideas from helpful friends.Chad's primary goal is to help others learn about guitar and eliminate the mystery surrounding techniques that are actually pretty easy when you get down to it. Chad does not really like typing about himself in the third person, as it makes him sound like Bob Dole.
