I still remember the first time I succumbed to the charms of a guitar. I was lying on my bed looking at the stars that were framed by my bedroom window. My mind was wandering accompanied by music spewing from the radio. I preferred soft music as opposed to the sounds of hard rock.
I never noticed when the programme changed. Suddenly there was this twang and then a band member picking out the first riffs of a popular on an electric guitar. The sound sent a wave of energy rushing through me from the tips of my toes to the top of my head.
I got out of bed and quickly scribbled the words of the song on a piece of paper. I eventually found out through a long process of being laughed at and being ridiculed that the instrument that I was coveting was an electric guitar.
I decided to get myself one. I just couldn’t get the sound out of my head. Friends told me that it would be cheaper to get the album of that band but I was hooked. Good and proper. I wasn’t going to give up.
Fortunately since we don’t live in the stone ages any more I did what any sensible person would do. I logged on to the net and found a number of amazing and informative sites that told me how to channelize my new found passion for guitars into a full fledged love affair that would last forever.
Not only are there websites that tell you how to get a good deal on a second hand guitar but there also exist sites that offer you a lot more. They give you great deals on CDs that teach you how to play the guitar, tutorials and more.
Since I’m more of a paper and pen kind of guy I found some really good books and tutorials on musicsbooks.com. Although I tried searching on sites that sell only books I didn’t get as much of a variety as I hoped for but with this site I hit the motherlode.
