Acoustic guitar player blog

To be a good acoustic guitar player or not to be

Whether it's an electric guitar, an acoustic steel guitar or a nylon string guitar, you will still need to know a number of basic things to get by if you wish to play with other musicians.

Where a lot of players go wrong is they don't realise what it is they need to know to become a better guitar player.

I have created this blog to help fill in the musical gaps that self taught guitarists have, to help guitarists develop the confidence to play with other players and to speed up the self learning process.

A few questions

• Do you know the names of the notes on the fretboard?
  


• Was your music teacher silly enough to teach you that Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit nonsense and you still can't make sense of musical notation?
  


• Can you change the key of a song if you need to do so in a matter of minutes?

Think about the questions a for a moment. Do you want to be a good guitar player and would you like to be on top of the things I have mentioned? These are just the beginning steps that can be easily sorted out.

I will start posting regularly to this blog. So drop in if you want your playing to improve and be a better all round guitarist.
