Why I Built This Website

Hi, and welcome to my website on guitar lessons for beginners. I created it simply because I became appalled by what is being sold to budding guitarists under the guise of "expert" tuition.

Much of it is nothing of the sort.

I have spent a lot of money trying to find out what really works and where real value in terms of lessons and music teachers lies. The good stuff is not easy to find, particularly if all you know about guitar playing is that you would like to be able to do it. And that was certainly me less than 12 months ago.

Yes, that's right, I'm a beginner just like you and what I hope to do is help you avoid the expensive pitfalls in terms of useless guitar lessons, poor music videos and outright scams that are widely advertised on the internet.

Everything on this site is something I either do use or have used to help me learn how to play the guitar and most of the advice is made up of things I have learned from other players, many of them much more accomplished than me. Feel free to browse through it as often as you like.

Please take it from me that despite what you may have read, or even been told by others, there are no real shortcuts to learning how to play the guitar. I, and many others of my acquaintance, have found that it takes persistence, constant practice (a least 15 to 20 minutes a day) and some really good teaching material.

I can't provide the first two, but I can offer some help in regard to the last of these. Follow my recommendations and I promise you that you will be playing recognisable songs on the guitar much sooner than you might ever have thought possible.

Finally, there are ads on the pages of this website, some of which are labelled as being from Google, for example. These form part of the income that helps me to maintain this site. They do not necessarily form part of my recommendations and you should regard them as you would any other kind of advertising. Certain links are also to websites of which I am an affiliate and purchases you make through these may also result in a commission for me.
