Here’s what other Pro Guitarists are saying about the guitar books...

Real testimonials from REAL guitarists. Former guitar students, working professionals, total beginners... even a Rock Star! I have some of the best reviewed guitar material available. I'm so proud of these reviews and the amazing guitar players who offered their kind words. Here are just a few...

Matt Sickels

Guitarist, Teacher

"...changed the course of my guitar playing and my path in life..."

"When I was 11 years old I started taking guitar lessons from Craig after my dad heard him play. This dude changed the course of my guitar playing and my path in life. Thanks so much Craig for being an inspiration and a great role model for me as a young guitarist."

Corey Beaulieu

Guitarist - Trivium

"This book covers everything..."

"I used to watch Craig's old band in Orlando years ago before Trivium got signed.
His book is extremely well explained throughout. Any guitarist from beginner to an expert will find something here for them. Highly recommended."

TJ Scarlett

Session Ace

"If you're wanting to up your guitar game, check out these books..."

"Not only is Craig an absolutely killer guitarist, he's probably one of the most knowledgeable guys I've ever met on the instrument. Do yourself a favor and check out his website and his books. You can thank me later..."

Guitarist & Author - Craig Smith

When I wrote my first guitar book, I took some proven ideas and methods I had used with my own guitar students and organized them into a book. Since the 1990s I was writing method books, yet, I never really knew what to do with them. I feel that nowadays, I’m finally getting it right.


Computers and the internet have greatly changed everything for aspiring authors, guitarists, and musicians across the world. I hope that I’m still learning and improving, both as a guitarist and a writer.


My first two books and website have changed my life. I feel luckier than ever to be able to play guitar live, and write for a living. I never take it for granted. That is why I must thank you, first and foremost.


Without you the guitarist, reader, student, music fan, with your own quest for knowledge, this would not be possible.
