Join our quest for free guitar lessons, videos and info on guitar playing!



As a guitar player you have probably trawled the internet looking for guitar lessons. Whether or not you want to learn to play guitar for free, your vision probably involved learning songs form tabs as well as getting as much theory and technique exercises you can handle.

Ten years ago a guy named Jon Broderick went looking for websites featuring high quality guitar lessons and, the legend goes, he had so little success, he went and made his own. The outcome was Guitar Tricks, another site that gives you access to their lessons in return for a monthly subscription. Not unlike Jamplay, but Guitar Tricks has been collecting guitar lessons for ten years, plus they have a collection of twenty-four free guitar lessons that you can try. Your free lessons are of the same quality as the lessons you get with your monthly subscription, taught by the same teachers who conduct the lessons for subscribers to Guitar Tricks.



These days four-hundred thousand guitarists take advantage of Guitar Tricks' lessons each month. And no wonder, because there are lessons in any genre you could name - acoustic, rock, metal, country, classical, jazz . . . and you can take lessons in special areas like chords, sound effects, harmonics, bottleneck, popping and guitar tricks. If you are not clear on whether your favorite guitar style has a name, you can simply request lessons based on the music of particular guitar players like Chet Atkins, Duane Allman, Stanley Jordan, Andres Segovia or Jimmy Page.

Your membership of Guitar Tricks gets you full access to a buttload of tutorials, sheet music, video lessons and backing tracks. Not only do you get the benefit of the Guitar Tricks guys' years of archiving guitar lessons but their content is updated every day.

One resource for beginner guitar players I'm always recommending is the collective expertise that you can find in guitar forums. Guitar Tricks has a forum that holds the records of questions and answers between thousands of guitarists. Would you believe there's over two-hundred thousand posts? And not only that, you can also have feedback from the Guitar Tricks teachers on any nagging question your brain can formulate.

Serranito - a guitarist with real chops

Posted on | January 8, 2008 |

Digging around for links for the recent post about Flamenco guitar brought up this YouTube video featuring Victor Monge (Serranito). Serranito, Paco De Lucia and Manolo Sanlucar were the big three guitarists of the new wave of Flamenco in the 1970’s. Serranito’s name is now relatively unknown, not because his playing was inferior but because his “classicalesque” approach to Flamenco and his penchant for playing ten notes where one would do made his music less listener friendly than that of Paco and Manolo. So I’m giving you a video of Serranito playing simply because, despite the emergence of great guitarists in all genres during the past thirty years, Serranito must still be the most technically advanced guitarist EVER, and this video is a great example of his work. Any guitar student needs to see a player like this do his stuff!
