<a href=http://www.guitarweek.com blank>Guitarweek</a> is quite easily one of the best, if not the best, guitar education websites on the web.
Check out the <a href=http://www.guitarweek.com/chords/index.php blank>Chord worksheets</a>. The load of free <a href=http://www.guitarweek.com/lessons/index.php blank>lessons</a>, plus some members-only <a href=http://www.guitarweek.com/flash/index.php blank>flash lessons</a>.
It's a real labor of love by a pretty <a href=http://www.guitarweek.com/newsletters/index.php blank>interesting</a> guy, who like a lot of people who work more for a passion than money, appears to have <a href=http://www.guitarweek.com/2006/index.php blank>trouble</a> making ends meet on it. <a href=http://www.guitarweek.com/members/register.php blank>Membership</a> is amazingly cheap to boot.post:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.61387Tue, 22 May 2007 03:14:52 -0800bluevelvetelvismusicguitarawesomenessDIYlearningevangelismBy: pracowity

Excellent, my library of online guitar learning websites is growing by the day. Others I've come across in the last few days are <a href="http://www.learnclassicalguitar.com">learnclassicalguitar.com</a> and <a href="http://www.justinguitar.com">justinguitar.com</a>comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.61387-1700637Tue, 22 May 2007 03:27:20 -0800TwoWordReviewBy: bluevelvetelvis

TwoWordReview,
Thanks for that justinguitar site. I had not seen that and wow, it's pretty great, especially with all the Youtube stuff.
pracowity,
The chord worksheets link goes to a page that is using embedded flash content, so that might be a browser or browser settings thing. I checked the link from Safari & Firefox in OS X and from IE 7 in XP, all those handled it fine.
Hope it works out for you, the chords worksheets are actually my favorite on guitar week. Nice reference and I actually only recently figured out the deally with moving chords to other positions functionality; which makes it even better.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.61387-1700652Tue, 22 May 2007 03:59:35 -0800bluevelvetelvisBy: mctsonic

Hey - thanks a lot - I've been wanting to pull my guitar out and make time to practice and enjoy learning to play again - I've procrastinated too long. This site looks fun and easy to use - I'm using OpenSuse 10.2 and firefox and everything is working great thusfar. Thanks again bluevelvetelvis!comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.61387-1700750Tue, 22 May 2007 06:18:14 -0800mctsonicBy: Pastabagel

<a href="http://wholenote.com">Wholenote</a> isn't a bad learning site either, although the quality of the lesson can vary widely.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.61387-1700759Tue, 22 May 2007 06:21:32 -0800PastabagelBy: chuckdarwin

I think the only problem with these things (like the video lessons) is that the student can pick up some very bad (weird) and potentially unhealthy bad habits if there is no one around to say 'don't do it like that'.
There are about 100 examples of bad guitar habits that will hold a student back (some are worse than others) or lead to an RSI, so I won't type them all. I'm sure that most of the guitar players reading this know what I mean.
A website or a video are never a replacement for a proper teacher.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.61387-1700843Tue, 22 May 2007 07:20:10 -0800chuckdarwinBy: chuckdarwin

<a href="http://www.magic-tab.com">www.magic-tab.com</a> seems pretty cool, too. Anyone know of good resources for a (wannabe) rock-and-roll violinist? (e.g., guitar sites that had sheet music / ABC as well as tab, or a really simple tab-to-sheet converter) I just learned recently how to figure out which notes were being indicated by tab, which was a huge help, and it looks like I can use some of those <a href="http://www.guitarweek.com/lessons/">worksheets</a> to speed up the conversion process, too...comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.61387-1701025Tue, 22 May 2007 09:21:05 -0800Squid Voltaire
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation.
