Main Page
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, I also provide general knowledge, guides, and reference materials for gear and home recording systems (DAW software). Additionally, I cover 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 to continue expanding!

Why this Wiki????
Tone is subjective!!!! Why should we limit guitar-centric knowledge to things that can be objectively observed, rather than felt and experienced and translated from individual to individual. This wiki is largely as much my opinion (although I love all forms of music, so I like to keep it positive) as it is verifiable facts or tautologically correct.
However, the point of making this site a wiki, was only for me to lay the groundwork, and have our bright and experienced fellow travelers grow this 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.
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.
I purposefully tried to use as much text on this site as possible to make it easy to copy/paste and easily shared over the web, but it obviously should not be sold or have ownership claimed over it. Again, please see the Site Policies to make sure you do so in a respectful and legal manner.
