Craig Winston Denver Guitar Lessons

Craig Winston Guitar Lessons Denver

I’m a guitarist, vocalist, song-writer, and music teacher in Denver, CO.  I started playing music at the age of 9 after hearing the music of Faith No More and Metallica, so my formative years were spent learning all the best thrash metal and grunge riffs until I attended Berklee College of Music and later Lewis & Clark College where I developed a sense for melody, composition, and technique through the study of Jazz and Classical.  You can find me on stages in Colorado and around the country as the Vocalist and Guitarist for the Gothic Rock outfit Corpse Paint ( http://corpsepaint.org ) and lead guitarist for Industrial Metal band, The Union ( http://theunionbandofficial ) as well as Massacre Records Symphonic Metal  artists Thy Shade ( https://www.facebook.com/thyshadeofficial/ ). 

I am always busy with recording projects, a full teaching schedule, and rehearsals as all my projects gear up for album releases and performances. 

I am interested and available for the right opportunity to play guitar!  To inquire about session work, live performances, Skype lessons or private lessons please fill out the contact form below
