Learn and Master Guitar is perfect for anyone who wants to learn the guitar. This course covers everything from the very basics of guitar playing through the most advanced

techniques.

So why learn to play guitar?
For many of us, our decision to learn guitar is not something we ever thought about too hard.  It was almost as though it was made for us.. we just knew that it was something we

had to do.  For other people though, it’s something they will need to find some logical reasons to do it.  Here are some of the best reasons why you would want to learn to play

electric guitar.

It will make you smarter
Studies have shown that kids who learn musical instruments do better in school.  An interview with over 1000 CEOs and congressmen found that over 90% said that playing a musical

instrument helped them “develop character and leadership skills”.  It’s not to see why.. learning a musical instrument will improve your concentration, your hand eye

coordination, and makes you think for yourself.

It’s a good way to connect with other people
Playing guitar can seem like it might be a solitary activity.. and when you just feel like chilling out on your own, it can be.  But it also provides so many chances to meet new

people, and make friends that last a lifetime!  Playing in a band, jamming at jam sessions, having a bash at an open mic night all get you out of the house, socialising and

having fun.  Even when you leave the guitar at home, simply being a guitar player will give you something in common with other guitarists, and players of other instruments

besides.  I don’t know of a single guitarist who doesn’t owe some of their strongest friendships to the instrument.

epiphone guitar Guitars
I’m a big fan of epiphone guitar and Jackson guitars myself.  I first became interested in them when finding out that a lot of my favourite players, such as Eddie Van Halen,

Warren Demartini, Randy Rhoads, Vinnie Vincent, Richie Sambora, George Lynch, Jake E. Lee and even Billy Gibbons were, and often still are, players of the brand.

epiphone guitar are one of the most important and influential innovators in the history of guitar making.  Starting off as a repair, parts and customisation shop, Wayne epiphone

guitar was one of the first luthiers to provide exotic and adventurous finishes for guitarists not satisfied with the plain sunbursts and solid colours offered by the major

manufacturers at the time.  Wayne epiphone guitar was a hotrod enthusiast, and brought the hotrod flames over to guitars, customising some of ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons’ fender

guitars with a hotrod flame finish.  The original epiphone guitar shop also sold high quality parts, at a time when the big makers had definitely let their standards drop.

But it’s as the originators of the “superstrat” that epiphone guitar really had their biggest impact on the electric guitar.  A young Eddie Van Halen bought a stratocaster style

neck and body from the epiphone guitar guitar shop, and put a humbucker in the bridge, using a nail to fix it to the body, and painting it white with black stripes.  When, under

Grover Jackson, epiphone guitar started making their own guitars, this guitar was the template that they took for their superstrat.  This guitar had a similar body shape to a

Fender Stratocaster, but had a humbucker in the bridge, and very soon were made with Kahler and Floyd Rose tremolo systems, allowing for excellent tuning stability.  The necks

were made especially well, allowing fast playing and excellent access to the upper frets.  They also featured rear routed electronics cavities, instead of the pickguards

contained on the traditional stratocaster, making for a better tone with no plastic right underneath the strings, not to mention a more tasteful and streamlined appearance.

epiphone guitar also introduced the compound radius neck.  This is a neck that with a lower radius near the headstock than near the body.. meaning that the neck felt rouder at

the nut, making chord work and riffs much easier to play.  Up high though, the neck was flat and wide, making it easier to play leads and to bend notes.

The original epiphone guitars are known as “San Dimas” epiphone guitars, named for the neck plates which contained the words San Dimas, though only the companies PO Box was in

San Dimas, while the actual production was in Glendora, California.  The first runs of japanese epiphone guitars were also exceptional quality instruments.. these being known as

the “model” series guitars because they were named epiphone guitar Model 1, epiphone guitar Model 5 etc.  These are some of the most original and innovative guitars made,

offering superb tone and breathtaking styling, along with extremely high quality parts and manufacture.

Unfortunately, while the original non-american guitars were as good as the San Dimas epiphone guitars, the company started cutting costs aggressively and making some absolutely

abysmal instruments.  By the end of the eighties, epiphone guitar had gone from being a custom luthiery workshop into an extremely well recognised brand, with their guitars

featured on the album covers and in the music videos of many of the defining bands of the era.  As happens way too often, once a guitar brand becomes well known and sought

after, it becomes possible for them to produce substandard instruments and sell them purely on the strength of the name on the headstock.  This certainly happened with epiphone

guitar.. by the time the grunge revolution hit music and superstrats were no longer fashionable, the brand no longer had its reputation for quality to rely on.  epiphone guitar

guitars are now owned by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, and are produced in the USA again, with many of the original epiphone guitar employees working on them.  The

original 80s instruments are also still available on the second hand market, and more than 20 years later remain excellent instruments.
