It has always seemed too difficult, I have never played any instrument, cannot read music and this has always put me off however, my 14 year old son, unlike me, is very talented musically and already plays guitar, piano, accordian and anything else he can get his hands on. I don't know where he gets it from! So for his 14th Birthday I bought him a White Brian May Red Special guitar and Vox Valvetronics amp and it sounds awesome. When I bought the guitar, the guy in the shop was setting the guitar up and I said"I wish I could play guitar" and he replied " Why wish - Do it" and I thought yes I should but then I think, I am 42 and have never played a musical instrument in my life - Surely it is impossible to take it up now and learn to play Brian May riffs and solo's? But hey! now I have found this site, I am going to give it a go. It's easy, right? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But hey! now I have found this site, I am going to give it a go. It's easy, right? That's a great goal already. With lots of practice you'll be working on those riffs pretty soon and I'm confident you will manage eventually. Compulsory though is to start with the famous riff from Smoke on the water 0 - 3 - 5 - 0 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 0 - 3 - 5 - 3 - 0 Smooooooke... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My 14 year old son is lightyears ahead, and keeps accelerating. I'm in no way a guitarist yet, but I've learned faster then I ever thought was possible for me and I can (not play them good but) practice songs I never dreamed of 6 months ago. Much thanks to GMC and the people here. When ever I feel I'm stuck in the development I have so far always found another challenge here to help me move forward again. Browse around, find a lesson that looks fun and keep practicing. Welcome, have fun! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
