Guitar Area

Electric Guitar Player

In our guitar area we have a number of guitar tutorials and articles offering advice to guitarists.

If you are a lead, rhythm or bass guitar player you’ll be interested in our scales and finger exercises to improve your solo work, and our chord translator is invaluable for transposition of songs and working out finger positioning.
