Hi and welcome to the beginning of a series of on-line guitar lessons. If you have a desire to play the guitar then this could be your lucky day. All you will need to follow this series of lessons is a guitar (naturally,) and a little time to practice.

I would suggest that you try to tackle the lessons on a weekly basis and do your best to understand the concepts introduced, before you progress to the next lesson.

I do have plans to turn these lessons into an ebook, and if anyone requests me to do this at a later stage I will do so. At the moment, there aren't really enough lessons to justify this.

I will try to update these pages faster than you can progress through the lessons, i.e. at least weekly, but it should be understood that I am also busy teaching, so this may not be always possible.

One final point. In order to view this properly, it is best if you set your browser to accept the fonts I have set up since the tablature parts require a Fixedsys font in order to display correctly.

Oh yeah, note that my URL is now http://come.to/myk click on this link then BOOKMARK my page [CTRL+D]

Lots more lessons coming soon PLUS an ebook version of these pages.
