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.

Guitar Finger Exercises – Their Value For Guitar Players

Posted on | | No Comments


You have probably seen finger strengthening exercises for guitarists in some of the free courses on the web.

There are lots of exercises that you can do, without your guitar in your hands, that will build up strength in your fingers. Many classical musicians shake their hands energetically just before they start to play. This gets rid of the tension in your hands that accumulates during a day at the office.

There’s a finger strength gadget called the Gripmaster that builds strength and coordination that the hands need for activities like guitar playing. The Gripmaster isolates and strengthens each finger individually for greater hand, wrist and forearm control.

Another finger strengthening exercise is to tap each finger of your left hand on a table. Start with your finger tips resting on the table so your hand looks like a spider. At first the fingers will sound on the table at different volume levels. Tap each finger, varying the order, with the aim of getting equal volume from each finger.

There are also exercises for strengthening fingers that you can do while playing the guitar. Here are some Finger Strengthening Guitar Exercises from Axel’s Blog.

Today’s video shows a very basic finger exercise that you will probably use every day for the rest of your life:
