“Craig's approach has allowed me to understand where I was going wrong.”- Richard Sawkins

“I am learning to play more technically accomplished material, especially in the hard rock and heavy metal genres, and enjoy working on specific tracks to expand my repertoire, including difficult riffs and classic solos. Craig's meticulous approach has helped me to focus critically on my playing and allowed me to understand where previously I was going wrong.”

“Since I started taking guitar lessons with Craig I made more progress in the first 2 months than I had in the previous year.”- Khalil Simpson

“I had been trying to learn to play the guitar on my own for a year using instructional DVDs. Since I started taking lessons with Craig I made more progress in the first 2 months than I had over the previous year. Craig’s teaching style is very structured; lessons are tailored to my personal interest which allows me to make incredible progress. Craig is the ultimate professional and I am very satisfied with delivery and quality of each lesson.”
