Everything You Need To Know
About Electric Guitars

(And weren't afraid to ask)


So...what's your interest in electric guitars? Want to learn to play? You already play, and simply want to improve your skills? Or maybe you're looking for a new instrument?

There are a lot of choices out there.

And it's really easy to make the wrong decision. There are more options now than ever before:

  • More models
  • More brands
  • More lessons

It can be overwhelming. If you've ever experienced "option anxiety", you know what I'm talking about. When you factor in price, and getting the most "bang for your buck", it gets even more complicated.

So where can you go for knowledgeable, trustworthy information?

Knowledge Is Power

I've been playing guitar for close to 30 years, and I've been teaching for over 20 years. And I'm not too proud to admit that I've made a lot of mistakes:

  • Buying the wrong guitar (but it sure looked cool)
  • Choosing the wrong accessories
  • Working with the wrong teacher

None of these choices were wrong per se. They were just wrong for me.

So how can you avoid the same mistakes I've made? My philosophy is simple: Experience is the best teacher, as long as it's someone else's experience. And the information I've shared on these pages represents my experience.

I hope you'll take advantage of it to make confident, wise decisions.

A lot of time and research went into presenting this information. But along with the "hard facts", I've also included some tips on how to think when making your decisions. Because once you know exactly what you want, the rest is simple. And simple is good.

  • Information on electric guitar history

I've done a lot of research to determine what people are looking for regarding the guitar electric. Chances are you'll find the information you're looking for on this site.

The electric guitar is an amazing instrument.

Just think about it: What other musical instrument has as many widely varied sounds?

None that I can think of.

From the chimey, sweet chording of pop to the thunderous noise of extreme metal, and all styles in between, this bad boy can get it done. And in style, to boot. (No pun intended.)

I'm very passionate about this instrument, and my passion continues to increase as time goes on. I'm hopeful that the information presented here helps you in your quest to be the best player you can be.
