Music Central, Colorado Springs

Bill St. John, owner of Music Central, is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet (and a fabulous guitarist/drummer). Bill is accompanied by his gracious better half Carol and his crew of full-time service techs. Their service is fantastic, yet very reasonable. They carry a jaw-dropping stock of musical instruments, parts and accessories for every budget. Music Central is easy to find; if you’re facing the main entrance to ProSound on

Academy Place, just look to your right…

WEB GUITAR RESOURCES

UPDATE:  Jennifer Miller just wrote me, so I’m placing this link above their previous page:

“We just published an updated, comprehensive guide on how to approach playing guitar in different genres on our sister site, BeginnerGuitarHQ. It is completely free and you can find it here:”

The UPDATED SITE (click on the pic):

Their Original Site (click on the pic):Steven Neale, whose church band does a lot of outreach to teach kids about music, said one of the kids in his parish turned him onto this — an exceptionally useful resource for guitar beginners, on the Wristband Express site:

…do check ’em out!

Tabs & Charts on the Net

When I’m searching for tabs, my 2 favorite sites (and the 2 biggest) are:
911tabs
Ultimate Guitar
What makes these sites so great is that there is usually a rating (1-5). The highest-rated tabs stand a better chance of being accurate.

Reference

Another great reference, especially for chords, scales and other vital info, is

All Guitar Chords

A Guitarist’s Most Useful App

Psstl Shhhl Don’t tell anyone – this is a SECRET!

After learning the basics, you don’t really need an instructor at all (well sorta not)… all you need is Guitar Pro 6…

BUT HEY, Guitar Pro 7 is out –

BUY it @ https://www.guitar-pro.com/en/index.php?pg=guitar-pro
