Win a Dave Mustaine Guitar!!

My very good friend Chris Elmore, who you will know from the great guitar 'mini-lessons' he provides for my Guitar Tips blog and for my Guitar Chords monthly newsletter, is holding a contest with a superb Dave Mustaine guitar as the main prize. You can actually check out the guitar at this link:

http://www.guitartrader.com/Dean-Dave-Mustaine-Bolt-on-Electric-Guitar

Ok, so to win this guitar, or one of the other contest prizes, Chris wants you to submit a YouTube video of yourself performing on guitar. He explains it fully in this short video clip:

How to win the Dave Mustaine Guitar

Take a look at the video clip ( about 2 mins ) - if you think you have what it takes to impress Chris, just follow the instructions on the page, and you're on your way to bringing home an awesome guitar. Please don't be shy about this - I know Chris is not necessarily looking for someone who can replicate an existing guitar riff. If you think there is anything special you can do, this is your chance to show off your talent, and maybe bag a big prize in the process.

The link to enter the contest again is: How to win the Dave Mustaine Guitar

Regular subscribers will know that Chris is absolutely the most genuine guy in the guitar learning world. As well as regularly providing great free guitar tips for my chords and lyrics newsletter readers, he sponsored some amazing prizes for my 5 million and 10 million visitor celebrations. This contest is to celebrate the release of his latest learning program - 'Rock Methods', and runners-up in the contest will receive copies of this course. I haven't had sight of this course yet ( it won't be launched for a while ) but I know that it will be up to the standard of excellence of all of the Elmore Music learning tools.

I would encourage you to take part in this contest, show the world what you can do, and hopefully, bring home that fabulous guitar!

Meanwhile, I will be adding some songs to my chords and lyrics website which will hopefully meet your requirements.

Enjoy your music,

PJ

Cystic Fibrosis - help if you can

This is an appeal to maybe anyone who has visited my free guitar chords website and found songs they've enjoyed playing on guitar, or to any of my friends who know someone affected by CF. Having spent most of my adult life among musicians, I know they are the most generous, caring and compassionate group of people on the planet.

One of my daughters great friends, Tracie Lawlor, herself a really talented musician, sadly passed away recently from this life-threatening and life-shortening disease. The Republic of Ireland has the highest proportion of Cystic Fibrosis in the world, yet of all of the developed countries ( USA, Britain, France, etc. ) life expectancy is about nine years lower than the others. In Northern Ireland, for example, CF sufferers average life expectancy is in the early Thirties, compared with early Twenties in the Republic of Ireland. This is because of the lack of suitable facilities provided by the Irish Government for CF patients.

A fund has been created in Tracie's memory, with the aim of helping CF sufferers in her home town ( and mine ) of Wexford, Ireland. It would mean a lot to me if you would consider making a donation, however small. All money received to the fund is channeled directly to the aid of CF sufferrers.

If you can spare a few Euro, Dollars, Pounds, please take a moment and visit the Trust website at http://www.tracielawlortrust.com where you can find out more about fundraising events, and make a donation if you can.

My guitar songs website has been providing free chords and lyrics to guitar songs for musicians all over the world since 1999. I hope that you will have found it helpful in improving yourself as a guitar player. If you have, please consider giving a little something back. It could help extend someone's life.

Thanks for your attention.

Kooks 'Always where I need to be' chords

Always a bit of a nailbiter when a band you like are about to release their second Album.

I loved 'Inside In/Inside Out', the million-selling debut album by Brighton Brit-Pop-Punk-Rock band, "The Kooks", particularly "Naive" and "She Moves in her own Way". I wouldn't be quite as bowled over as I am by The Fratellis ( nervously awaiting their second offering...! ), but a great band nonetheless, and "Konk", their second album, is growing on me with every listen.

'Always where I need to be'', is the new single from "Konk", and it continues in the quirky, rocky vein of it's predecessors.

I've worked out a playable version of the song, which should be suitable for either electric or acoustic guitar and, as I already had 3 Kooks songs on my chords and lyrics website, I've now created a new 'Kooks' page, at the link below:

The Kooks - Guitar Chords and lyrics, including 'Always where I need to be'


You can buy all of the Kooks music at CDUniverse - The Kooks Music page

The Kooks official site can be found at http://www.thekooks.co.uk/ and their MySpace page is at http://www.myspace.com/thekooks

Galway Girl - chords and lyrics

Still spending much time listening to the older songs in my collection. I remember my daughter buying me the single of Steve Earle and Sharon Shannon performing Steve's "Galway Girl" as if it was yesterday - Wikipedia tells me it was from Steve's "Transcendental Blues" and Sharon (+friends)"The Diamond Mountain Session" albums - both realeased in 2000! Unbelievable!

What's even harder to believe is that I didn't put the song up on my guitar chords site at the time, it's a great song. Anyway, eight years on, and Sharon has recently recorded the song again, this time with Mundy, so I am making good the omission, and have added the song to my Folk songs guitar chords page, at the link below:


Steve Earle / Sharon Shanon / Mundy "Galway Girl" chords and lyrics


You can buy Sharon's and Steve's albums, including those mentioned above, at CD Universe - Sharon Shannon music page ~~~ Steve Earle music page

Tori Amos - "Winter" chords and lyrics

I've been in very reflective mode lately, listening to a lot of the older stuff in my CD collection. One artist who I have shamefully neglected, not having posted any of her songs on my free chords and lyrics website, is Tori Amos. Tori is widely acclaimed as having single-handedly kick-started the whole female singer-songwriter genre in the early 90's.

I have selected "Winter" from her first, and arguably best, album - Little Earthquakes - to add to my list of song chords and lyrics quota for April. You can find it on my site, PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics, at the link below:


Tori Amos "Winter" chords and lyrics


You can buy her albums, including "Little Earthquakes", ( there was a live video of the same name, but it seems to be out of print ) at CD Universe - Tori Amos music page

The Frames - Neath the Beeches chords & lyrics

Since posting Glen Hansard's "Falling Slowly" last month, I've been listening to some of the Frames older stuff quite a lot. I'd almost forgotten what a great band they are, and what a fabulous voice Glen has.

One of the 'oldies' that shows off the talents better than most is "Neath the Beeches", a haunting song from their 1999 album "Dance the Devil". I already have "Star, Star" from this album on my The Frames Guitar Songs page - hard to believe it's 9 years ago!

I've worked out fairly playable chords and lyrics to "Neath the Beeches" which you can find on my guitar chords website at the link below:

Futureheads - Beginning of the Twist

The latest song from Sunderland's post-Punk finest, Futurehead, has been banging around in my head for the past number of weeks, so I finally got down to working out a playable version.

While 'Beginning of the Twist', their new single from the upcoming "This is not the World" is not quite up there with "Hounds of Love" and "Decent Days and Nights" for me, it's still a great song to listen to, and even more so to play along with.

My version of the song, which should be suitable for either electric or acoustic guitar is available at my guitar chords and lyrics website, on the link below:

Elvis Ain't Dead chords - Scouting for Girls

In the tradition of the many bubbly British pop/rock bands which have abounded over the past few years, Scouting For Girls hit the scene big time when their eponymous debut album hit the UK #1 spot last year.

Some great bop-along, sing-along numbers, including their latest single 'Elvis ain't dead', a top 10 singles hit from earlier this year.

I have worked out a fairly playable chords and lyrics version, which you can try out by clicking the link below:

I'm really just cathing up with Lifehouse - hadn't really listened to any of their stuff since "Hanging in a Moment" back in 2001. Just started listening to "Who We Are", and hopefully will work out a song or two from that album presently.

Meanwhile, I have worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics for Lifehouse "You and Me", my favourite song from the eponymous "Lifehouse" album in 2004. You can check it out at the link below:

That's how people grow up - Morrissey

"That's how people grow up" is the fantastic single ( and the only new song ). from the "Greatest Hits" album of one Stephen Patrick Morrissey, aka Morrissey, aka 'Mozza'.

Having set the 80's alight with The Smiths, he continues to create pithy lyrics and haunting melodies; while there is a continuity with his early works, his newer songs still sound current.

It's quite a playable song, even on acoustic guitar. I've posted my interpretation of the chords and lyrics on the Smiths/Morrissey chords page of my website at the link below:


Free chords and lyrics to Morrissey - That's How People grow up

You can buy Morrissey albums, including the Greatest Hits ( and pre-order 'Lowdown Unauthorized - check it out ) at CDUniverse - Morrissey music page

Glen Hansard - Falling Slowly chords and lyrics

In February, "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard ( of The Frames songs fame ) and Marketa Irglova won an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" ( From the film "Once" ). The Frames are one of the most underrated bands on the planet, and Glen ( who appeared as 'Outspan' in 1991's "The Committments" ), is thoroughly deserving of this great achievement.

It's a lovely, haunting song, I've done my best to work out playable chords and lyrics which you can find on my guitar chords website at the link below:

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly chords and lyrics

I first 'discovered' Colbie Caillat ( not literally! ) when she sent me an add request on MySpace about 18 months ago. She was an unsigned artist at that time, but listening to her profile songs ( to which Bubbly was added quite early ), it was obvious she was going places. Having been #1 Unsigned singer for an amazing 3 months, Bubbly finally broke the charts in the US, making it all the way to the #1 Spot.

For some reason, it's taking some time for Colbie to hit the same heights on my side of the pond - if you are one of the unfortunates who haven't heard her sultry blend of country/blues/rock ballad, check out the 6 songs on her MySpace profile ( Bubbly included ), and see why the song had 22 million clicks up to last August!!

For those who are familiar with the song, and would like to attempt playing it, I have worked out a pretty straightforward version which you can reach at the link below:

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly chords and lyrics.



You can buy her brilliant first album "Coco", featuring "Bubbly" and her other singles at CD Universe - Colbie Caillat music page

Tom Waits - Rains on Me Chords

I can't believe that it has taken me so long to post a song from the latest Tom Waits Album "Orphans - Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards". Certainly no reflection on the album, which is brilliant! Although it's a collection of songs from various projects and other unreleased recordings, the quality of the songs is superb, it was exactly like a new album being released - only with 54 new songs!!

The categorised format exactly fitted my Tom playlists on my Zen - LiteWaits, MiddleWaits and HeavyWaits, which made the upload really easy!

Anywaze, I have added my version of the chords and lyrics for "Rains on Me" ( which I think is a Chuck E. Weiss colloboration ) to my Tom Waits Songs page -

Free Acoustic Guitar Video Lesson

PJ's chords and Lyrics presents:

I have been singing the praises of Dan Denleys guitar courses - AmazingGuitar, BluesGuitar, LeadGuitar and AcousticGuitar for some time now. The link to the Acoustic course has been displaying "Sold Out" for some weeks now, but it is being relaunched tomorrow, Fri 14th March at 11 a.m. Eastern time. To celebrate the relaunch, Dan has given me a POWERFUL, 14 minute free video lesson crammed with incredible info about guitar CHORDS to share with my Blog readers. In this video you'll discover:

-> How chords are related to scales...

-> Why some chords are maj, minor, dom, etc.

-> What guitarists mean when they say... "two
chord" or "five chord" etc.

-> Which chords come from the major scale

-> The difference between a triad and a 7th
chord...

...and a LOT more.

You can watch it here right now:

14 Minute Guitar Chords Lesson - From Dan Denley's AcousticGuitarSecrets course

This video shows extracts of Dan's Acoustic Guitar Secrets course,
which is fast becoming THE standard for learning acoustic guitar.
The course completely sold out when it was released back in December,
hence the unavailable message you will have seen if you clicked the
link recently.

Now, *finally* it's going to be available again, remember it's
tomorrow: Fri, Mar 14 at 11AM (eastern).

Oh - and you can also download this video and watch on your iPod.
Just look for the "iPod" link.

I own a copy of this course, and it has done more to improve my
guitar playing than anything I've tried in the past 20 years.
Seriously. I would strongly advise anyone who REALLY wants to be
a "Guitar Player" to grab a copy of the course, you won't regret
it. But get in early, I have a feeling that the "Sold Out" signs
will be back up fairly soon, also Dan is making noises about
splitting the course into 3 seperate courses, which will almost
certainly increase the cost.

Either ways, you can enjoy the free 14-minute video lesson at:

Greenday - Waiting chords and lyrics

Greenday are one of those bands who seem to have always been around, and for learning guitar players, provide a wealth of great and fun songs to have a really good go at.

I've added "Waiting", from the 2001 album "Warning" to my Greenday guitar chords site page. Mainly very playable chords, even for beginners, although the end gets a bit busy....! But definitely one to enjoy learning and playing, and to impress your friends with.

You can find the song on my Guitar Chords & Lyrics website, on the Greenday page.


Greenday's official website is at www.greenday.com Latest news is that Billie Joe's alternative band 'Pinhead Gunpowder' are playing California shortly.



BTW - If you are a wannabe lead guitar player, you really should check out James Todd's Guitar Leads website, it is a really excellent resource for guitarists of all levels to acquire or improve their lead guitar playing skills.

Weezer - Susanne

As I update my website with chords and lyrics to my favourite songs, I try to maintain a balance of old and new songs. This time I've reached back, right back to 1994! My first experience of Weezer was buying a PC with Windoze95, at the birth of the multimedia PC. The OS CD had 3 or 4 music videos, one of which was 'Buddy Holly', from the debit 'Blue' album. Although Suzanne was recorded ( I think as a B-side ) at that time, I only heard it when it was included on a Bonus disc, when the album was re-released in 2004.

25 albums and 22 singles on, they are still one of my top 'feelgood guitar bands', both to listen to, and to busk out my own ( mostly acoustic guitar ) versions of. I've posted my interpretation of the chords and lyrics to "Suzanne" on my Weezer guitar chords page. I hope you remember the song, and will enjoy playing it!


Check out the official Weezer website at : weezer.com or check out their album and singles list on their CDUniverse page



Enjoy your music!

Paul Simon - Father and Daugter

It has been a while since I posted chords for a Paul Simon song. While I've never been a huge fan ( only 7 solo songs + 3 S&G songs on my Paul Simon guitar chords page ), I have bought most of the albums, without playing them all that often. Since I started to listen to music almost exclusively on my MP3 player, a bunch of songs I hadn't heard in a while are jumping out and reminding me how good they are. "Father and Daughter" is just one of these songs. The guitar chords aren't too tricky for a Paul Simon song, and as a father of two daughters, I can't help but be grabbed by the lyrics. You can find my version of the guitar chords and lyrics to "Father and Daughter" on my Paul Simon / Simon and Garfunkel guitar chords and lyrics page below:

Band of Horses - No-one's Gonna Love you Chords

"No-one's Gonna love you" is the first song I've heard from Seattle band "Band of Horses" (previously "Horses"). I think it was Ben Bridwell's vocal, somewhat reminiscent of another Canadian favourite, Neil Young, which caught my attention.

I've worked out my version of the song chords, and posted them to my Pop guitar chords and lyrics page below:

Dave Fanning Show RTE 2FM Monday 24th

"No man is a prophet in his own land"

Despite the fact that my chords and lyrics website approaches its 7 millionth visitor, and in fact does receive many visitors from my native Ireland, ( tho' the vast majority are from the USA, UK, Australia and Canada), I was really chuffed to hear that a number of listeners had called the Dave Fanning show tonight to praise PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics . Unfortunately I was out and missed the programme, but I'll be listening to the webcast tomorrow at www.rte.ie/2fm/davefanning.html

2FM is the 'national' radio station, and Dave has been for many years the coolest DJ in the country. In the early 80's, when my work took me to 'Dooblin', away from my family for long periods of time, listening to Dave playing my kinda music late at night ( after the pubs! ) got me thru many a lonely night.

Dave's been Irelands 'ambassador of cool' ever since, and is respected in the music industry worldwide, interviewing and hob-nobbing with the greats, so it was an honour for me to get a mention on the show - cheers Dave!

If you like the music on my website, and if you're into listening to web radio while you work/play at your computer, the Dave Fanning webcasts are definitely for you ( www.rte.ie/2fm/davefanning.html ). I'm listening to Dave's interview with my favourite artist, the inimitable Tom Waits as I type this.

"I'm kinda livin' upside down these days, I guess".......

Guitar Chords and Lyrics - First Post

Been putting off my debut in the Blogosphere for long enough now, time to make a start!

The website: www.guitarsongs.info has been around for seven years now, the 7 million visitor mark should hit before the end of Jan, so I know there is no lack of interest in the subject! A Google search for 'song chords' shows the site at #1 of over 3.5 million - long may it last!

The site provides free guitar chords and lyrics ( does what it says on the tin! ) for over 1300 songs by popular artists, in an easy to play format suitable for the beginner as well as the virtuoso. I've stuck with the eclectic rather than the comprehensive approach - there are only artist pages for bands and singers I like, and the miscellaneous Rock songs, Pop Songs, Folk songs, Soul R&B songs and Oldies songs pages only feature songs I like - but with 437 songs in the 'misc' categories and 1,365 overall, you've probably guessed I've got pretty wide tastes!

I guess the main function of this Blog will be to keep the guitar community up to date with what's happening on the site, and to help locate songs elsewhere on the net that I'm not likely to feature myself. I'll also be checking out other online guitarist resources and giving my two cents worth - hopefully others will pitch in.

As I've said, I'm a newbie to the Blog community, so please be patient while I find my feet!

John Mayer - 'Somethings Different' chords

I had a request from Dave Scott for John Mayer's "Something's Different", from the 2003 "Heavier Things" album. To be honest, working out versions of John Mayer songs suitable for learning to intermediate guitar players is quite a challenge, but it's a gorgeous song, so I've done my best with it, I hope I've done it justice. You can find it on my John Mayer guitar chords and lyrics page below:

Chords and lyrics for John Mayer songs

I've been listening to John Mayer's third album "Continuum", so far only included "Waiting on the World to Change" from this one, but there are now 14 songs on the John Mayer page (above).

I've just added chords and lyrics to "Some Surprise", as performed by Gary Lightbody ( from Snow Patrol ) and Lisa Hannigan, to the site, on my Snow Patrol page :

http://www.guitarsongs.info/snow-patrol.htm

The song is taken from the brilliant new 'Cake Sale' album, which is a fantastic collection of songs written and performed by some of Ireland's best known and most talented artists ( as well as others ), to raise money for Oxfam, the famine relief organization.


This is a great opportunity to help those less fortunate, while doing what we all love to do ... listen to great music.

The Shins - Phantom Limb Chords

The Shins ( hailing from Portland, Oregon )have been around for quite a long time, recording their first album in 1997 as "Flake Music" - my first post of one of their songs was "New Slang" from the 2001 album "Oh, Inverted World". I had also previously posted "This Celibate Life" ( ironically enough, on St. Valentine's Day... ), and "Kissing the Lipless".

I've only had a few listens to their 2007 album "Wincing the Night Away", but enough for me to know they will be a band I will follow, and hopefully continue to work out playable versions of their songs for learning guitarists.

So, as I've worked out the chords and lyrics to "Phantom Limb", I've also created a Shins guitar chords page, and moved the older songs from their previous location on my Rock Songs guitar chords page.

Lifehouse - First Time chords and lyrics

This is my first time posting a Lifehouse song, though there may well be more to come...

Although their first album "No Name Face" ( featuring the single "Hanging by a Moment, a song I'm sure I worked out, but didn't get around to adding ) was released in 2000, I kinda lost track of them, and only recently picked up on their new album "Who We Are", from which the "First Time" song is taken.

My interpretation of the chords and lyrics for "First Time" is now included in my miscellaneous Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:

Yet another band I keep promising to listen more too - Wilco, a kind of alternative country/indie band from Chicago. They've been around for quite a while ( first album released in 1995 ), but I'm listening to their later stuff and working my way back!

I've worked out my interpretation of "Either Way" from their new 2007 album "Sky Blue Sky" - a lovely song, one I really enjoy playing.

Magic Numbers - Love Me Like You/Wheels on Fire chords

Haven't posted a Magic Numbers song for a while, but I've been listening to them quite a bit lately, and getting to really like their songs. So I've worked out two more and added them to my site. As I plan to include more chords and lyrics for their songs, I've created a Magic Numbers Guitar Chords page on my site.

The new songs added are both from the eponymous 2005 "Magic Numbers" album - "Love me like you" and "Wheels on Fire". Great songs to sing, obviously better if you have someone to do the harmonies!

You can find my version of the chords and lyrics for the songs at the link below.

Just to remind you aboutn a cool software tool for musicians I featured on a previous Blog post - SongSurgeon. This program would be a boon to any musician, not just guitar players. Basically a very simple idea - you take a song you own in electronic format - CD, MP3, whatever, and the program allows you to slow it down without changing the pitch. You can mark a section ( e.g. guitar solo ) and loop so that it plays over and over. Simple, but brilliant!

I hate to think of the number of hours I've spent with fingers poisted over the Pause, Play, and 'Back' buttons, just to try to figure out a nifty guitar riff, or make sense of a vocal. Pity no-one came up with this idea years ago!

Anyway, I highly recommend that you check it out, at Song_Surgeon.com

Battle of the Bands in Cyberspace - vote MOERAES FATE ( Dame)

Thankfully, I've gotten back into stride and posted several new song chords over the past coupla weeks.

Right now, I have something to ask of you. Nothing, big, just a few minutes from your busy day, to listen to what I believe to be the best internet rock band around. It will cheer you up, make me happy, and make a bunch of really great young female rock musicians happy. Everybody wins... easy!!

I have only blogged off-topic twice before, to spread the good word on a fabulous young girl band from Canada called Dame ( 29 Sep 09 - now renamed as Moeraes Fate ). Since joining MySpace over 2 years ago to promote my website, I have been exposed to some of the best new music being produced by young bands, mostly unsigned. Many of these are on my 'Friend List' ( I always accept requests and respond with honest appraisals ), But Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ) for me are the future of rock music.

Moeraes Fate( Dame ) have stood out as the best internet band I've heard by far, writing and performing "Big loud rock tunes with big loud hooks" ( in their own words ), or kickass Rock music the way it was always meant to sound ( my version! ). They have four songs ( Cyclops, Intervention, Hey Angel, and Amnesia ) featured on the Moeraes Fate ( Dame ) Myspace page - three of these can also be heard on the Dame Battle of the Bands page. There is also a Youtube video montage of their songs on the Dame Band Myspace page.

If you can make it over, and cast your vote at this Moeraes Fate (Dame) Battle of the Bands page link, you'll have that warm feeling of having made the world a better place. Please do yourself a favour, listen to the Moeraes Fate (Dame) songs , they have a great new rock sound. And you can help a talented young all-girl rock band move on to better things.

If you are as impressed as I have been with the Moeraes Fate sound, remember that you can revisit and vote every day up to December 31

Thanks for your patience, there will be new song chords and lyrics coming along really soon!

Enjoy your music,

PJ

A number of his songs have featured in NBC' series 'Scrubs' and other TV shows.

Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey-oh!) chords

Love 'em or hate 'em - but write 'em off at your peril. The Red Hot Chili Peppers may be a bit long-in-the-tooth, but they're still churning out their inimitable brand of rock, and will outlast many of the more 'in vogue' indie and rock bands of today.

Stadium Arcadium debuted at #1 in both the US and UK album charts when it was released in 2006. Snow is the band's 11th No. 1 single, and the third single from the album to reach the top spot.

So, hopefully in keeping with the season that's in it, I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics from RCHP's Snow, which you can find on my Red Hot Chili Peppers Guitar Chords page at the link below:

The Arcade Fire - Wake Up Chords

Another band I really need to catch up with is "Arcade Fire". While being aware of them for some time, I really haven't taken the time to listen to their work.

They are a Canadian band founded in 2003 by Win Butler and Régine Chassagne ( husband and wife ), and have released two studio albums - "Funeral" in 2004 and "Neon Bible" earlier this year.

"Wake up" comes from the earlier album, and I've added my chords and lyrics version of the song to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:
Hopefully I will manage to add another couple from this album before moving on to "Neon Bible".

Paddy Casey - 'Addicted to Company' chords

Always a pleasure to add a post from an Irish artist!.

Hardly prolific, Paddy has just released his 3rd album, having had major successes with 'Amen(So be it)' in 1999 and the multi-platinum 'Living' in 2003.

'Addicted to Company(Part 1 )' was released in September 2007, and while four years between albums seems a long wait, it was certainly worth it.


The first single from the album is also called 'Addicted to Love', and I have worked out my interpretation of the song, and posted it to my Rock Songs page: http://www.guitarsongs.info/rock.htm - PJs Guitar Chords - Rock songs

There are a lot of guitar lessons sites and programs out there, but I've discovered a really great resource for the 'Beginner' to 'Intermediate' guitar player, which doesn't assume any previous musical knowledge or skills, but takes you through all of the early stages of the learning process, and brings you along at a pace that traditional guitar lessons could never match.


Enjoy your music!
