About
Professional guitarist with over 45 years of stage experience is accepting students. If you are a new player, I will get you up and playing quickly. If are an intermediate, I will show you the skills necessary to continue an upward momentum.
It is my belief that the best way to learn is to concentrate on the music and songs you love, and we will learn about scales and techniques within those songs as needed.
In addition, I have been hosting a weekly jam at a local bar and grill for the past seven years, and if performing live on stage with a professional backup, house lights and sound is something you would like to do, we can arrange it when you are ready.

I am very happy with Craig as a teacher. He comes prepared to our lessons. Always looking for new things to push me to improve my skills. He listens and takes the time to understand my needs as a student. He clearly has a lot of practical guitar knowledge and is able to translate it into simple terms that I can understand.

Craigs a great teacher, he's really good at explaining guitar and helped me get the hang of things starting off as a newbie. He'll teach you the songs you want to learn and makes it fun.

Craig has been great in the short time I've worked with him. He explains music well and has taught me a lot so far. I'm a novice but am learning quickly and really enjoying my time working with him.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My normal rate is $50.00 per session. That fee includes a 60 minute lesson, my travel time to your location and all printed and downloaded materials. I also offer free telephone and e-mail support between lessons.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with my new guitar students to first determine what their goals and aspirations are. The I conduct as assessment of their current skill level, the type of music they are interested in and thenn craft their personal lesson plan.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started playing guitar at the age of fourteen. At the age of 20 I went on the road with an older Blues Man and played up to 24 dates a month. During that time I got to meet and play with many players much more advanced than me. It was those meetings that aided my growth.
Since that time guitar has been my passion and 40 years later I still study, look for for new and advanced techniques and continue to hone my teaching skills.
