Practical electric guitar lessons for beginners

This place is fully open to anyone who wants to start playing simple but not so shabby guitar riffs without having to learn a bunch of unrelated stuff first.

If you want to play clean (non-distorted) guitar, I have published diagrams of open-position chords, strumming and fingerstyle patterns, chord progressions, and a list of easy-to-play songs to assist you with that as well.

Throughout the pages, you'll see lots of guitar tabs, audio/video examples, and illustrations to help you get the ideas into your head.

The main menu is well organized into topics, and alongside the lessons, you'll find additional useful information vital for beginners, such as tuning, replacing strings, getting the right sound, taking care of the vibrato system, and more.

Who am I, and why am I offering these lessons for free?

Well, I'm Electric-Fire (I prefer to use my alias). I'm a coder and webmaster, and this project was an opportunity for me to work on my coding and writing skills while I feel like sharing the knowledge I've acquired over the years of playing electric guitar.
