Chandler is multi-instrumentalist who favors the guitar. He is currently performing with Common Ground and is composing and working on a recording project. He is also a member of Memphis Mojo and a Doors tribute band. He enjoys playing with musicians from all musical backgrounds. Below is a quote from Randy Toma a professional musician and guitar teacher.
"Chandler has this almost unnatural ability to improvise spontaneously, with no rehearsal. His knowledge of the fretboard is pretty much complete to the point of being able to "think in guitar" -in the same way ...as you and I don't have to rehearse our thoughts to communicate in English.  He 'talks guitar.' As his father, George said, "He seems to possess all the ingredients of a guitar virtuoso. He can play anything note for note, but has the ear, musical knowledge and reign of the fret board to play what he feels and hears in his head."
He rarely is "lost", or unsure of where he is, or where he wants to go.  Pauses to refresh, but not out of being absent, but to form his next passage, express a different viewpoint, explore a different avenue, or consider a variant path. He is/could be "The Next Big Thing" — Randy Toma (professional musician)
