I’m very fond of Guitarhabits but especially this section.

I agree that the practice of music and an instrument must be shared and

not used to self-boast.

In reply to Jared.

Hi Jared,

You can use A Pentatonic or A blues scale to play over a Blues Rhythm in the key of A, but you
can also A Pentatonic or A blues to improvise over a song in the key of A minor.
So if you got a song in the key of E minor you can use E pentatonic or E blues.

Best regards,
Klaus Crow

Hi Klaus, i’ve been playing for about 3 years now mostly on acoustic i can cover just about anything through tabs and video inst but i am having a very difficult time coming up with anything of my own. I know all the pentatonic scales and the blues scale but can’t seem to figure out how to improvise them and struggle finding right key for soloing over my backing tracks. Just wondering if maybe you haad any pointers for me thanks. Love the site by the way .

Klaus, I just want to thank you for this wonderful site. There is so much to learn about playing guitar that it can be overwhelming and sometimes discouraging. I often find myself not progressing as I would like due to the lack of a clear sense of direction. I was searching the internet in hope of finding a little inspiration when I stumbled across your site. What a great find! Your views on sharing and teaching are refreshing and very true. I also appreciate the lifestyle tips very much. This is a very helpful and worthwhile resource that you have provided. Thanks again! Ed

I couldn’t agree more with your views on sharing and teaching. I just started playing guitar about 3 months ago and practice between 1 and 2 hours a day. Although I am a beginner, I am already sharing what I have learned with others. I really enjoy helping people. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and good will. Not to mention, I think that it has improved my playing at the same time. If everyone in the world felt the same way we do about sharing and teaching, this would be an amazing world to live in!!!

Teach, Share, and Rock On

Hi Kyle,

Sharing your music for those who need it the most.
That is pretty cool of you and at the same time it sounds like fun too.

Go for it!

Best regards,

Sharing brings abundance. I’ve been looking into ways to get involved with my community here. I found an organization that puts together musicians to play jazz-swing-era music for ill and lonely seniors in nursing homes. I’m exciting to see what happens :)

Hi Steve,

Just put a link of the website or youtube movie you’d like to share in the comments.
You can upload pdf files on google docs or dropbox and put the link up here.
Make sure it’s guitar related and appropriate.

Best regards,
Klaus Crow
