Don't settle for being that average guitarist who struggles to read music, suffers from performance nerves and never dares to compose, arrange or improvise. You CAN be incredible in all of these areas, it just takes the right training and environment - this is what CCG offers you.

What members have to say about CCG

Jamal Shamas

“Daniel’s teaching style and his CCG platform are just what I needed to move my guitar technique, composition skills, understanding and applying the language of music to a whole new level. For years now, I struggled finding a program that addresses my weaknesses and can fit my busy schedule. With a trove of materials to explore and study and targeted live and recorded sessions with Daniel, CCG offers the beginner to the advanced guitarists opportunities to expand their musical possibilities in many ways. Most importantly to me is that I don’t spend hours and hours in mindless practice. CCG is organized in such a way that rounds up my musical experience and inspires me to expand my musicality. It is also a pleasure to learn alongside other musicians who have similar challenges, in a supportive and relaxed environment.”
Trisha Budd

“I have been playing guitar for many years but I was not really improving and was in a bit of a rut. Joining CCG has revitalized my playing by providing inspiration, exercises, masterclasses, videos and ways to focus so I can achieve my goals. CCG has so much more to offer too, including harmony, composition, analysis of major repertoire plus the support of likeminded people in a friendly group. Daniel has vast knowledge and expertise which he enthusiastically shares. CCG is a fantastic platform and I’m so glad I joined it.”
Kevin Toller

Being a member of CCG has given me the opportunity to further grow as a musician. It’s a very interactive platform where you get lots of personal feedback and where you can continue learning about harmony, interpretation, analysis and much more! There’s a wealth of information available on the CCG website and during the live sessions you get plenty of opportunities to ask any questions you might have. Daniel truly is an expert in the field! Being in such an encouraging community motivates you to continue working on your skills/compositions/arrangements and helps you to reach your goals!

This special discounted plan comes with a 1 week free trial

An inside look at the kind of work being done through CCG:

- Private tuition can cost hundreds of dollars per month for 1 hour of contact time per week. CCG’s Virtuoso membership gives you up to 6 hours per week contact time for less than half the cost of your average private tuition charges.

- Your typical university education costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars per year. You get a university education and more here on CCG.

- All of those "free" videos and articles out there don't get you results like CCG does. Getting amazing results is not just about absorbing content - it requires inspiration, community and connection. It’s about doing and creating.

- Other platforms like Classical Guitar Corner and Tonebase (while they are fantastic) don't focus on training you in creative work.
