Hello

I hope to make this blog a useful place for you to visit often, to learn about playing guitar, and music theory, especially as applied to the guitar.

Bring your questions about music theory, and I will do my best to answer them, in a way that makes the ideas clear.

I have been playing guitar for more than twenty years, I am primarily a self taught guitarist, although I have worked with a few teachers, but not until I was an intermediate level player.

I have tried many different learning tools, books, cassette tapes, videos, dvd’s and lately, online teaching sites.

I will be sharing what I have found to be the best learning materials and sites, to make you a better guitar player, in the shortest possible time.

The biggest idea I would like to get across about learning guitar, online or with a teacher, or any other learning materials, is that buying every thing you can find about learning guitar, or paying the best teacher in the world for private lessons, will not make you a better guitar player, unless you open up your guitar case, take out the guitar, and actually play some guitar!

I believe that playing music should be fun, (they don’t talk about “working” music, it’s playing music.) And, I will try to help you enjoy learning everything you want to learn.

Bass players are also welcome; I only recently started learning bass, about six months ago, so I am still a beginner. But many ideas that work on guitar, work on bass, also. And, music theory is the same, no matter the instrument; it’s only the application that changes. (I mean that chord, scale and mode theory is the same, but you can’t play guitar chords on a flute, for example.)
