The first time I picked up a guitar I was 15 years old, and, like so many other kids my age, I was convinced I was going to be a rock star! And like so many others before me, I was sadly disappointed!
I took lessons for a while, I played in a band, and I even travelled to competitions. For a short time it was the centre of my world, but I soon lost focus. Life got in the way. Other things became more important.
Fast forward more than twenty years. At this point I hadn't really picked up a guitar in that entire time. I'd always meant to get back into it, but it never seemed to happen. Then, about two years ago, I found myself wanting to get back on the horse so to speak. I was surrounded by friends and family who played, and it made me realize how much I missed it.
I've been strumming along to my favorite tunes ever since. Along the way I've found some good resources to help me. In today's connected world anyone can teach themselves to play guitar with a little help from their online friends.
It wasn't always easy though, and I wish there was one place I could go that could point me to all the great resources out there. Yes you can do the good old online search, but this is very time consuming.
That's why I decided to start this blog. Each week I will post new resources that will help you on your journey. My hope is that this blog will be a great tool for you. What you'll find here is links and reviews to some of the best resources available on the web.
So check back every week, I will be updating every weekend. And please, let me know if you have any ideas for the blog. I'd love to include your ideas in a featured blog post. I hope you enjoy your journey as much as I've enjoyed mine so far!
