Hello, and welcome to MeAmBobbo's Guitar and Recording Wiki (MAB Wiki). This site is designed to educate and train aspiring as well as accomplished guitarists, so that they can master the instrument. The main content consists of guitar lessons, exercises, and quick reference material. However, it also provide general knowledge, guides, and reference materials for gear and home recording systems (DAW software). Additionally, it covers lots of generalized musical knowledge, including theory (covered in the lessons), musical skills, and the nature of sound. There's a lot of content here, and I hope it continues expanding!
Why this Wiki?
I started this effort as a simple way to provide guitar lessons to friends/family trying to learn the instrument. Then I thought, why not try to document everything I have learned about music? But then I wondered how far I could take this...this site could expand much larger than me. So I made it a wiki - I can lay the groundwork, and brighter and more experienced fellow travelers can grow the content until it touches every boundary of the guitar universe.
I am open to everyone's opinions on the quest for understanding music, learning how to play the guitar, and finding the perfect tone - I want this site to be for the guitarist, not for me. I am keeping this site as open as possible, and I have nothing to promote or gain other than donations, which I only mention on a few of the introductory pages.
I also didn't want to require stringent referencing or have users wary of posting due to stringent editing guidelines. This site isn't a free-for-all - please read the Site Conventions before editing, but expect much more lax standards than Wikipedia.
Getting Started
Please see the Introduction for info about me, who these lessons are designed for, and common conventions used throughout this site. Here is the Table of Contents for all pages on this site. It links to every page on this site, including lessons, techniques, styles, exercises, gear advice, scale/chord reference, and more.
Here are the breadcrumbs for the main areas of this site:
I encourage editing if you find typos and inaccuracies, as well as adding exercises, practice songs, techniques, and advice, (as well as fleshing out existing content) but please read the Site Policies and Site Conventions before doing so. Also check out Wiki Templates for easier editing. Have fun and get your learn on, and if you find yourself appreciating this site, please consider donating to keep this site ad free and online.
