The road to becoming a good guitarist is a long one. Practice,
practice, and practice the most essential part of becoming a top
notch guitarist. The problem some people have is what do I practice?
You can just go at it and eventually results will come. What I think
the best way to go about it is to have a large quantity of interesting
information from which even at the beginner level you can make sound
pleasing to the ear. Most aspiring guitarists either play along
to a song by ear or have some tablature or sheet music to practice
with. I know from experience to speed up your journey to becoming
a good player you must also study techniques such as learning
the fret board, chords, scales, modes, basic music theory, picking
methods, and rhythm.
This site offers a series of free lessons, articles and resources
that I hope you will find beneficial and enjoyable. There will be
information for beginners that will cover the basics, from guitar
and music terminology to building a moderate understanding of music
theory. There will be information for intermediate players that will
have more depth and will assume you have a general understanding
of the guitar and can read tablature and some standard music notation.
The advanced material will include lessons and music theory of greater
depth, including some info on songwriting and home recording.
