"Craig was my first "real" guitar hero.  From our first lesson, to our last, he taught me things about the guitar that I won't ever forget. Not only is Craig a great guitar instructor, but he is a great musician.  Any musician from any level can benefit from what Craig is teaching.  Whether your looking to build insane chops, or want to write a great song, look no further for instruction!"

"What do you say about the guy who helped you get your first multi-track tape recorder and drum machine and pushed you to write your first song?  Craig is the man! He took my interest in music and helped me develop it into a passion that got me accepted into Berklee College of Music for Music Production and Engineering.  I still think of Craig as one of my best instructors. He covered everything from finger picking to music production and always kept it interesting!"

"I've been taking lessons from Craig for about two years and have enjoyed every lesson.  I recently took part in a pageant where I performed a song on guitar and sang.  I was hesitant because I'd never performed alone before, so I went to Craig and asked him to help fine tune the song and get it ready to perform.  He not only gave me tips for the performance, he also let me borrow an amp.  Thanks to Craig I took first place in talent and also won a few scholarships.  Thanks Craig!"

"Dear Craig - I wanted to let you know that Nolan's audition for the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music won him an award of $150.00 - this money should pay for either a summer camp he was thinking of attending, or over half of the Music Theory class he was thinking of taking.  Wanted to let you know.  Have a great day! - Lisa Ard"

Testimonials


"Wow...

That was my first guitar clinic, I am just floored. Being able to be right there, watching and listening and have to stop and talk about it, answer questions about what he's doing and how. It was really awesome. Jared was really great. I have no idea how long he's been playing, but it's obvious that it came with a lot of really hard work on top of a heap of talent. Craig, kudos to you for putting it together. It been a great experience since I picked up your classes, thanks for that!"

"The academy really has a unique concept that makes better players faster. Craig Friemoth is the teacher and the hour-long classes are designed to keep coming back to the important areas: chords, theory, rock techniques, strumming, composing/recording, and lead playing. Even adults (like me!...) can learn the guitar!" - Heidi Huenink
