Welcome

A few weeks ago, I promised a few friends of mine that I would teach them free beginning guitar lessons in a sort-of classroom setting.  It seemed like a fabulous idea at the time, but the first time I scheduled a lesson, a massive problem became very obvious:  There simply wasn't a single time when everybody who wanted in on it could make it.

Trying to schedule such sessions on even a semi-regular basis proved even more impossible.

So I had this new idea... Why don't I teach them how to get started on-line?

And then it occurred to me that I could just create a blog for not only instructing beginning guitar players, but also as a forum for me to sound off about all things music-related, especially when it comes to electric guitars and basses, which is a particular passion for me.

So I did, and this is it.  Welcome.  I hope you find the content here useful, and I ***really*** hope this inspires you to create your own music, by whatever means and in whatever setting brings you the most satisfaction.  Please leave comments frequently, both as a guide to me of what is and is not helpful, and also so I don't think I'm just shouting into a vacuum.
