Craig Hardie is a professional gigging guitarist who has been successfully helping newcomers get started on guitar for over 30 years, as well as coaching established guitarists to become better improvisers, learn how music works, write their own songs, join bands, overcome technique problems, and become confident performing musicians.


Craig teaches from his home school in Alconbury village, Huntingdon.


"I can instantly now see around every chord where the scale is, where the notes are to play, where the home notes are... In three months my playing improved more than in three years working alone. It was a no-brainer to come here, and it's been awesome."
