This site offers extensive information on guitars (not cavemen), with an emphasis on beginners who want to (or have started to) learn about playing the guitar. Before you go any further, click CONTROL-D to add this site to favorites - there are many links on this site and you are encouraged to click anything you find interesting - then simply click FAVORITES or BOOKMARKS and you can return here quickly. Music is a universal language, and the guitar (also called the AXE since the shape of electric guitars are somewhat axe-y) features in virtually every type of music and culture; from the South American samba to the European classical symphony. Every culture plays some kind of music, and the guitar (or a similar stringed instrument) can always be found there. Who knows, when (and if) we meet an alien race from another planet, they might even have a galactic guitar (or similar stringed music piece)!

If you want to learn to play the guitar (or to learn more about guitars), this site will help you in understanding the basics and in selecting your guitar gear. Start by browsing the various Types of Guitars that exist, such as acoustic, electric, acoustic-electric, bass, 12 string, resonator, dobro, etc. Some basic guitar playing instructions are also available to get you started, with basic sheet music reading and guitar tablature information. However, once you get interested and want to do more with your guitar - you should consider in-person training from a professional guitar teacher. Books, videos, and online resources may help up to a point, but there is no substitute for a professional teacher who you can talk to and watch, and thus learn from much faster.
