Welcome to my guitar tips.
My workshop is a place that covers nearly every aspect of playing the guitar. It is my
mission to provide you with a resource to get the information you need to become a great
guitar player. You will find lessons, tips, tricks, and reviews that will help you. If you want to
help contribute to this site you are welcome to.
I need to say that the information you see here comes from many sources. A bunch of it
comes from my own notebooks I have scribbled in over the years. Some comes from the
very manuals I have for my guitars from Fender and Gibson. Even though there is a
substantial part of my own information here I wanted to take a moment and give credit
where it is due. Even though the instruction books and manuals are not copyrighted I still
want to tell Gibson and Fender a big thank you for putting this info with the new guitars.
Unfortunately many of us do not get to buy a brand new guitar and this valuable
information is not available to us. Well, now it is!
We are going to cover the guitar...
We are going to learn how to tune the guitar by using a few methods.
The electronic tuner
The harmonic method
The fret method
Alternate tunings such a drop D and G tuning.
Guitar maintenance
Cleaning and conditioning
Tightening up the parts
Inspecting and replacing strings
Lubrication
Caring for acoustic guitars
Humidity- It is very important to keep the guitar from drying out. You can purchase a
humidifier that actually goes in the hole of the guitar
Cleaning - The guitar should be cleaned with a mild cleaner and protected with a special
polish.

CARE OF YOUR
GUITAR
Your new Fender guitar or
bass is precision made to
give you many years of
satisfaction. A few simple
maintenance procedures will
help you keep your
instrument playing like new.
After you have finished
playing, thoroughly wipe the
entire guitar, including the
strings, with a clean, soft
cloth. Regular cleaning with
Fender Polish is
recommended. Avoid
exposing the guitar to any
chemical or substance that
might mar the finish, or to
direct sunlight or other
sources of excessive heat
humidity or shock.
