“The greatest thing about the time I spent studying with Lisle was the sheer applicability of everything he taught – he was able to teach heavy musical concepts in a way that they worked their way right into my playing. Translating knowledge and technique into playing and performing, that’s some trick and Lisle’s got it down.”

“Lisle Crowley takes us through a melodic and harmonic workout on the Scottish tune, Ye Banks and Braes. His beautiful treatment of the piece will satisfy both the beginner and the more advanced player.”
~Tom Gannaway, Editor of Fingerstyle Guitar
” I started my music career with the solid foundation Lisle Crowley gave me several years ago, and when I returned home after all that time of professional touring, he is the only teacher I trusted to take me to the next level. He is patient and has an organized and challenging teaching style. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for a guitar teacher if you are a dedicated student.”
