Guitar lessons with Craig are so great. Now only do you leave with so much more knowledge you go in excited and ready to go. He makes playing fun while making it very very productive. Earlier this year I started to build a 76′ Gibson Explorer re-issue and the day I told craig about it […]

I enjoy and look forward to my lessons with Craig. I started last spring with minimal guitar experience and Craig has worked with me to to develop good techniques to make the progression easier. Craig listens to what I want to get out of my lessons and tailors the lessons to my musical taste.

Best guitar instructor in Des Moines!. I had tried taking lessons at other local guitar shops and was just completely stalled out. Craig rebuilt me from the ground up, from technique to theory. He has great patience with his students and really uses technology to enhance the lesson. Highly Recommended!

I’ve been taking lessons from Craig for almost 4 years now. He is extremely knowledgeable and has proven teaching techniques. He is always flexible and utilizes lesson time to the fullest. Craig will tailor lessons to each students interest. He will cover everything from music theory to soloing to rhythm in any music genre you’re […]

Being older, I was hesitant to take up “a young person’s thing.” Well, this ol’ dog surely learned many new tricks! Acoustic, electric, rhythm, solo, jazz, rock, blues. Craig has it ALL! Malcolm Gladwell, author of “Outliers,” writes that masters of their craft have put in 10,000 hours. Craig has that, and he wants YOU […]

My son has been taking lessons from Craig for over four years. He is a fantastic teacher who teaches in a fun environment with music the student is interested in. He keeps the lessons relevant and challenging and provides lesson materials that the student can use as a reference well after that lesson is complete.

We found Mr . Sinclair to be exactly what we were desirous of when we selected him as our son’s guitar teacher. What’s made him stand out was his refreshingly professional approach, we found lesson plans prepared and sequenced for the individual that allowed our son to seamlessly step into a lesson environment that fit […]

I had the pleasure of having Craig as an instructor. He is extremely good at what he does, his method of teaching as well as the support you get from his videos and email access for the questions between classes is second to none. From technique to theory, this guy knows whats going on. Also […]

Update: We have had our son taking lessons with Craig since he was 7 (he is now 14) Craig’s patience and teaching methods have been a perfect fit for our son and he is now able to basically jam with his friends and play anything he wants..we would recommend Craig to anyone who wants to […]

I started taking lessons from Craig almost 3 years ago. I have learned so much from Craig that other instructors couldn’t teach me. He is very patient and knowledgeable, and a great guitar player himself, I enjoy my guitar playing more than ever, and owe much of it to Craig. I highly recommend him!
