Since I never had guitar lessons on a regular base, talking to more experienced players has always been rather interesting to me. Sometimes it was just one sentence from one of those guys, that has completely changed my approach to a part of the music. This and some basic music theory, which I have learned at school has helped me to explore the guitar and the music I'm playing. My goal when creating this web site was to share at least a part of my knowledge with other guitarists. I wouldn't consider me to be a great player - there are many guitarists who know much more than I do, but maybe you can find some information, that you didn`t know before and that you consider to be useful. Please forgive me the ASCII-art in the theory section. It was pretty much work to paint the chord charts and I wanted to release the theory section ASAP. Maybe I replace that later. Your suggestions and comments are appreciated. Since English isn`t my native language, I even don`t mind some advice in this matter.

Improved chord charts After struggling with file formats, Photoshop, WinWord and the PDF-Writer for quite a long time, I finally managed to create the downloadable chord charts in PDF-format in a higher quality with a bearable increase of the file size. Improved scale charts rev. 1.1 Something that was on my to-do list for quite a long time: I have improved the quality of the scale charts on this website and the downloadable charts in PDF format, too.
