Welcome to YewGuitar!

This a website dedicated to the art of learning.

It is my view that learning any skill is an art upon itself. However, many people go about haphazard methods of trying to learn a skill, in the end either failing miserably or getting sub-standard results. They then wonder why some of their peers can do so well in the skills they so desperately want to master.

Natural talent aside, I do believe that there is always a method towards learning, be it trying to cram a science textbook into your head, or playing a good game of tennis.

Through the years, I have been experimenting with various methods of learning, and will continue to experiment. I do believe in individual differences, and thus experiment constantly with various methods, as well as learning from the experience of others.

Hence, this website is about that endeavour, but channeled first and foremost into the learning of the Guitar.

My hope is that this website can serve as a platform for me to share my experiences, and receive that of others’. Everyone benefits.

The Main Themes of this Blog are:

• A place where beginners can gain knowledge into the art of learning the guitar
• The art of Learning (Methods and)
• Musical possibilities (technical) and styles of the guitar

Where to Begin?

If you are new to the guitar, I highly recommend the ‘Rank Beginners Guitar Tutorial‘ Series

Also, My “Theory of learning any skill” is a wonderful place to start.

Note that this page is constantly being updated and thus check back for much more discussion into the guitar and learning in general.

Also, check out the “best of” section for a good place to start.
