Ready To Play Your Favorite Guitar Solos?
Have you ever wanted to play guitar like the greats?
While it's easy to pass off their amazing guitar skills as pure talent alone, it's more important to examine that massive amount of smart work that went into mastering those guitar skills. For every Slash and Eric Clapton, there are hundreds of wannabe guitarists wondering just how they could make it there, and without the right combination of inspiration and learning skills, it's easy to think that you could end up along with them.
Don't worry, learning guitar isn't something that has to suck up a lot of your time, nor does it need to be a hobby that you grow to dislike. By shedding the conventional learning styles and focusing on acquiring the most important and vital skills, you can fast-track your guitar progress and be out there playing your favourite songs and solos in no time at all.

It all comes down to mastering the most important techniques. While many guitar schools and courses focus on the less important skills; mastering kids songs and practicing scale after scale, very few actually put the most important skills in any real practical context.
Instead of practicing mindless children's songs that you can't stand listening to, the best way to master guitar is by playing and mastering the music that you love to listen to.
That's right, learning guitar doesn't have to be about mastering nursery rhymes and 'Smoke on the Water.' Ask any experienced guitarist what part of learning they think is most important and they'll tell you to simply focus on doing what you enjoy.
All the essential skills of guitar, the scale learning, the playing positions, and the hand dexterity, they all extend from mastering the songs of your favourite artists and guitarists.
Ready to kick-start your guitar progress? Skipping past the basics requires quite a lot of dedication and a determination to master what's truly important.
This free report, packed full of information on mastering the most fundamental and versatile guitar techniques, is the perfect resource for beginners looking to master guitar in a style that suits them.

I’m currently shopping for my first electric guitar amp, I’m getting a Telecaster. I’ve looked at lots of solid state amps, and I really can’t break the bank, I would prefer it if it was under 150 bucks. I also don’t want anything crappy, or too quiet. Is that too much to ask for?

Repairing guitar amplifiers, tube or solid-state, is not at all beyond intermediate to advanced electronic hobbyists-but you have to know electronics. You have to know DC and AC electricity, amplification basics, signal paths and how to read basic schematics _cold_,to have any hope of success. You also have to be competent at both “wire and panel” and through-hole PCB soldering. You should also have basic test equipment, not only a good multimeter but a signal source-not a guitar!!- a dummy load, and at least a signal tracer but preferably an oscilloscope of some sort. For a lot of reasons, I tend to judge technicians by how competent they are with an oscilloscope, the overwhelmingly single most important test instrument. (Even deaf people can and have successfully built and repaired audio gear with one.)
It can be learned from books and practicing-but not from this one.

If you own a guitar, you probably know how to feed the strings through the tuner-peg holes. You don’t need a book to show you how. This book goes over some of the elementary aspects of guitar maintenance that can be searched out on the web……most of these books that claim to offer key insight or special knowledge are a gimmick to make you buy…….there’s nothing in here that you can’t figure out on your own………..if you’re looking to make some kind of in-depth repair to your amp, this book will NOT help you out much either………anyone that’s curious about making an electronic repair to a guitar or amp knows to look for a loose connection or broken solder joint, don’t need a book to tell you that already!!
I returned my purchase for a refund………….Thanks AMAZON!!

This book covers guitars and amps very broadly. How to keep them clean and set them up, with some tips on how to deal with solder in order to do a change of pickups. It doesn’t go much further than that. In the amps section it is again very broad. Safety procedures for dealing with your amp electronics and some different methods of biasing amps are presented. There is also some discussion of tubes, transistors, and fuses.
I found the layout and organization of the information to be needlessly confusing. There is SOME info in here that could be useful to you if you want to take good care of your instruments and don’t know where to start.
Still, there’s gotta be something better out there. That’s why I’m only giving it two stars.
