Every time I come across another interesting topic or web site, or someone sends me one, I add it so that others can find it. You'll find everything from wiring diagrams, to notation printouts, to teaching aids, to software, and more! I've even ranked them according to their content, and site layout...

BEGINNER Know Your Guitar Guitar anatomy and fretboard chart. Tuning Your Guitar You have to know how to tune your guitar before you can play it! Tune Up Before you play along with the songs on this site, you'll need to make sure your guitar is in tune. Warm-up Exercises Why study warm-up exercises? Because we all need them. You should really start off your practice time with a warm-up routine, starting off slowly and gradually build up speed. Finger Exercises They help with your finger mobility, flexibility, move ability, and agility. With finger exercises, you'll be able to play more precisely, faster, consistently, and longer. NOVICE Blues Intros And Outros Here are different licks used throughout the Blues community. The Capo What's a capo do for you? Does it matter where I place it? FIND OUT!

Soloing Over The Bass Line Put fills in around the bass line. PROFICIENT Finger Pickin' Good Finger picking requires coordination and endurance, and lots of both. You'll be able to play arpeggios faster with your fingers than with a pick.
