Today guitarists are overwhelmed with choices when it comes to gear and tuition.
As a beginner, knowing where to find lessons and equipment that suit your playing level can be difficult.
That’s why I started Guitarist 101.

Hi, I’m Richard and I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years. During this time, I’ve played hundreds of shows with multiple bands – but I’m always on the look out for new ways to improve my guitar playing.
My aim is to help you find the best lessons and equipment on the web to get you started playing guitar, and provide free online tuition that has been approved by qualified teachers.
You can get in touch with me with questions or requests on Facebook or email.
