Everything you always wanted to know about Music and the Guitar ... in plain English.

Becoming proficient on the guitar is a daunting task, no doubt about it, and the one thing I know for certain, after playing for over 60 years, is that understanding the basic structure of music is paramount. That's what you will learn here ... in plain old English. I use videos, animations, graphics and easy-to-understand analogies to do that. You will also learn about the various techniques you will need as a guitarist. So, if your goal is to go beyond hacking out a few chords for a campfire sing-along and actually play the guitar, I invite you to sign up, sign in and begin your journey.
