Welcome to the Guitar Portal, your
guide to the world of guitar playing and guitarists.

will get you started off on playing guitar, if you are a beginner or
articles that will improve your playing if you have already been playing for some time and
a well categorised collection of links to the best material on guitar oriented things that the web has to offer.
This site also has a whole section dedicated to playing lead guitar in a church worship band setting which is built up by contributions from lots of people.

Heavy Blogging!! continued....
While the home page hasn't been updated, the blogs certainly have. Now there are three. I think I've got a decent spread of material through them generally covering what I want to say. Now if only I can get to blogging on my personal site, that would be quite an accomplishment. Still, maintaining three here ought to be quite a challenge for anyone. And of course, If I can get off my lazy butt and start working on some portal software, I could transform this site. Then again, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride!!
The hit counter has been going sky high. Nearly 1200 hits from October 2003. That's around 200 a month and still going. Pity is that no one has signed the guestbook so I don't know who these people are. However I did get quite a few emails with appreciative comments and that's been a real source of encouragement. I haven't got a feedback feature for blogs yet, so do sign the guestbook if you want to get in touch.
If you haven't seen the Guitar School Network then please go and have a look as soon as you finish browsing here. Marc Seal and others have loaded that site with great free video lessons. There are different instruction sections there and Marc's Ultimate Guitar Show has more than 23 lessons chock full of quality instruction. Of course, there is also a membership section and Marc creates Study Plans online and then bundles the lessons online and in DVD's. Don't miss that site.
Another site that I would definitely recommend is Lick Library. It's grown by leaps and bounds since it first started and there's quite a few video lessons covering SRV, GnR, Darkness, Hendrix et al.
