The absolute, undisputed best of the best!I haven't had a lesson from Craig in 15 years, and not a month goes by where I wish I could go back to CA and get more lessons.... Steve Day Sechler in Franklin, TN

Houston....After five years of lessons with Craig (and still continuing) I feel like every time I have a lesson, I learn something new and walk away with a feeling of renewed inspiration....

Connor......Craig is a great guitar teacher. He really takes the time to know his students and create personalized lessons.

CUSTOMIZED PRIVATE GUITAR & BASS LESSONS .... CREATIVE MUSIC INSTRUCTION ..... I have enjoyed teaching private guitar and bass lessons in the Santa Clarita Valley for 22 years. Seeing the lights go on in a student's eyes after learning a song or musical concept he or she thought was beyond their capability is a rewarding experience.

To make the learning process easier for students, I record a slowed down version of the song they are practicing which allows them to play with the artist immediately. Jam tracks with bass and drums are provided for use at home. This allows each student to practice soloing with a band in the style of music he or she enjoys. Learning to write your own songs is presented in a clear and simple method.

Many students have gone on to form their own bands, record CD's and even tour. Other students are simply interested in learning to play guitar and bass as a fun hobby. Whatever YOUR goals are, I will help you achieve them.
