== Gear Hello, and welcome to '''MeAmBobbo's Guitar and Recording Wiki''' (MAB Wiki). This site is designed to educate and Setup ==* train aspiring as well as accomplished guitarists, so that they can master the instrument. The main content consists of guitar [[StringsContents#Lessons|lessons]]* , [[Choosing a PickContents#Exercises|exercises]]* , and [[Choosing a GuitarContents#Reference|quick reference material]]* . However, it also provide general knowledge, guides, and reference materials for [[Contents#Gear and Setup/Adjustments|gear]]* and [[Choosing PickupsContents#DAW/Recording|home recording systems]]* (DAW software). Additionally, it covers lots of generalized musical knowledge, including theory (covered in the lessons), [[Choosing an AmpContents#Musical Skills|musical skills]]* , and the [[Choosing Effects]]** [[Compression]]** [[EQ]]** [[Modulation]]** [[Delay]]** [[Reverb]]** [[Pitch Shifting]]** [[Boost]]** [[Distortion]]** [[Noise GateContents#Sound|nature of sound]]. There's a ''lot'' of content here, and I hope it continues expanding!

== Styles = Why this Wiki? ===* [[Rock]]* [[Blues]]* [[Funk]]* [[Jazz]]* [[Folk]]* [[Thrash]]* [[Djent]]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.
== Reference = Getting Started ===* [[Ref: Common Scales]]* Please see the [[Ref: Circle of FifthsIntroduction]]* [[Ref: Scale Fret Maps for all Major/Natural Minor Keys w/ CAGED breakdown]]* [[Ref: Scale Fret Maps info about me, who these lessons are designed for all Harmonic Minor Keys]]* , and common conventions used throughout this site. [[Ref: CAGED Chord Chart for all Major Chords]]* [[Ref: CAGED Chord Chart for all Minor ChordsContents|Here is the '''Table of Contents''']]* [[Ref: List of Diatonic Chords for all Keys]]* [[Ref: Mega List of Chord Fingeringspages on this site. It links to every page on this site, including lessons, techniques, styles, exercises, gear advice, scale/Voicings]]* [[Ref: Modes]]* [[Ref: Counting Rhythm]]* [[Ref: Reading Tab]]chord reference, and more.
