earning to play the guitar
has got to be the most important thing I've ever done in my life.I hope it becomes that way for you, too. For many of you, the guitar will not be the most important thing in life. No matter what, it becomes a passion; a tool that can express and unleash your innermost yearnings.
Have I 'arrived' as a guitar player? Hardly. It's all about the journey, and I'm not finished yet. I invite you to begin learning and exploring on this path and finding out the thrills along the way. In your own way, and in your own time.
This is a series of lessons geared for the beginning player. The first in the series is Playbook for the Beginner and Beyond, an introduction that's meant to be viewed first. So click away when ready! The remaining lessons are geared toward viewing this overview and then down the list of lessons in order from top to bottom. If you're a beginner, clicking somewhere in the middle of the list will most likely be confusing to you.
