Acoustic Guitar Web Sites

This beautiful Guitar is made by Linda Manzer


Of late I've been writing mainly for my other two blogs.

Both my other guitar blogs now have a whole lot of guitar videos of acoustic guitar players of all styles, players that you may know, like Keith Richards on Acoustic Guitar, or Jimmy Page doing acoustic tunes off the Led Zeppelin 3 album. Plus some of the greats like John McLaughlin, and numerous players that are newer on the scene such as Andy mcKee, Phil Keaggy.

The guitar sites are educational with TAB and notation of Blues Scales, as well as lots of ideas to get your playing going. I've written a few hundred articles and they are designed to help players reach a greater level of musicality.
Ok, so what's different about my sites?
After playing for almost 40 years, I've watch the development of contemorary music and how it has been influenced by various styles, while this has been happening I have been learning, teaching, performing, recording , I haven't stayed still, I have continued to learn and am willing to share with others and make their journey through the musical maze faster. So other players can reach the standards they aspire to.

Guitar news

I've been working lately developing good resources for guitar players wtiting tabs and notation on how to play country blues scales, some alternative blues chords and scales in the key of E and A.

I've also uploaded a few guitar recordings at www.acousticguitarist.wordpress.com and also www.the-guitarplayer.com

If you are interested in improving your playing you will find numerous documents in both open and normal tuning.

The tunings used are standard with a dropped D, DADGAD, CGCGCF

Guitar Blog Free Tab E Blues scale

Here is a free tab and music notation of an E Blues scale over 3 octaves.


I have used the open strings intentionally because it sounds very nice on acoustic guitar.
