Guitar Tricks - The Learning Guitar Player's Resource

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.
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.
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.

The difference between a pizza and a guitarist

Some thoughts on making a life in music from Daniel Roest who started playing the guitar at the age of seven and never stopped. He has performed in countless solo and ensemble events in nearly every type of venue. His CD Great Guitars! 2004 has consistently received 5-star reviews. His concerts are praised for being entertaining and informative. This fantastic article comes via a great guitar “Webzine” – Guitar Sessions.
Get Real
There is a period in a young guitarist’s life when his or her resolve is sure to be tested. The early years require faith in your talent, an unusually elevated work ethic, and a willingness to adapt to the widely divergent needs of any number of performing situations and students paying for lessons. Taking a non-music job for an employment base is a typical move. A major trial is the extended crisis of non-music employment sapping your strength and using up your time. Many musicians languish longer than necessary in these traps. My real education about how to support myself and my family after college came outside of college, even as I worked on my degrees. I taught privately and took gigs in restaurants, hotels, parties and even a cruise ship, and it was in those venues that I learned many valuable lessons. Along the way I developed skills in marketing and communicating with students, clients and employers, while becoming a better performer and teacher. While music programs offer many valuable and unique experiences and relationships, the actual employment a guitarist finds requires these basic business skills.”
