CJBERRY-GUITARIST

CJ is one of the finest guitarists I have ever worked with. His work as a multi-instrumentalist, together with his string arrangements appear on the records I released via 4AD/Warner Brothers and Creation records from 1987 to 2001. I also know CJ to be a kind, patient and highly effective music and guitar teacher. His musical knowledge is immense.

CJ is a fantastic player. A musician's musician equally at home in any idiom from be-bop to hard core metal or acoustic. He is a naturally gifted teacher who does not carry any of the baggage sometimes associated with talented musicians.He has an uncanny ability to access a pupil's level and set the bar slightly higher but the goals achievable. Everybody can learn something from CJ

I've known CJ since we were in our teens. He has always been a consummate musician aspiring to the highest level of musicianship in his guitar playing and all his musical endeavors. He is also a lovely person with bundles of enthusiasm. Ian Dury, Steve Winwood Bee Gees, Soul II Soul

CJ is a remarkable musician with a wide appreciation of all music and skills to match.His support and encouragement was a major influence in developing my own belief in my playing and my creative potential which has served me well as a player. I confidently recommend CJ as a fountain of knowledge Scritti Politti, Ian Dury, Marianne Faithful Hall and Oates, Aswad

In my opinion CJ is one of the best guitarists I've ever played with and easily one of the top 10 players in the UK .This dude is full of tricks and skills that any guitarist would need. To be the best you need to learn from the best. TOURED AND RECORDED WITH PENDULUM, DJ FRESH, JEAN MICHEL JARRE, JEFF BECK, APOLLO 440

Having worked with CJ for many years on gigs, festivals, functions and recording sessions in the UK and abroad, I know him to be an accomplished accompanist, soloist, composer and arranger, as well as a patient and inspiring teacher. He will undoubtedly pass on his love of the guitar as well as his love of many varied musical genres to any keen student

CJ is not only a fantastic musician, performer & guitarist, he's an inspirational teacher and mentor. Always a pleasure to share a stage or teaching space with CJ. Doc Spoons-Drummer/Percussionist (Switzerland) Philipp Fankahuser, Sony Music, Yvonne Moore, The Jamborines, Toby May, Ron Cartel…

I had 2 years of intense guitar lessons with CJ. What i learned in that time set me up as a professional musician. CJ understood my needs, identified the gaps in my technique and designed a plan.Technique and theory are balanced in CJ's classes.What I learned opened up a world of opportunity in my guitar playing.Beginner or pro CJ will show you something new

I was taught guitar and music theory by CJ at college. I learned more in two years than I had done in my whole time of playing. I learned every aspect of guitar playing from chord construction to jazz modes and scales and everything between. A patient teacher with a passion for teaching. His love, skill and knowledge of all styles and aspects of music is second to none.
