About Me ... my journey to creating a website about acoustic guitarsI have 2 confessions ...Guitar is not the first instrument I learned, rather the third. And, I never envisioned creating an acoustic guitar web site. But, here I am! My Music BackgroundAt 6 years old, I began piano and took instruction for 13 years. At age 11, I picked-up the flute and had 8 years of instruction ... 21 years of combined, private music instruction.As a high school senior, my friends and I started a jazz band - yours truly on keyboard. I also had a music school business going during high school, with 6 flute and piano students of my own. Fast forward ... I pursued a college degree in economics and a masters degree in business, and worked for 5 different Fortune 500 companies for over 20 years. My days were long ... mostly 12 hour+ days.

Please remember, if you learn just 3 chords (for example, chord C-D-G), you can play hundreds of three chord guitar songs! Or, search my chord library of 100+ chords in my free guitar chord charts library. For more advanced players seeking to upgrade their guitar, I offer many of my own acoustic guitar reviews on quality instruments. ... If you're wondering, I play a Taylor 610ce acoustic-electric and a Martin D-41 Dreadnought - two awesome guitars! Sign-up for my ezine to get free tips on how to improve your playing! New!
