== About Me ==
Hi, I am '''Me Am Bobbo'''. I have played guitar as a ''hobby '' since 1997. While in college, I basically got a minor in music (technically I did not) to learn more about it from the academic side. I'm '''not ''' the most prolific or accomplished player by any means, but I definitely know a lot about the instrument. Some friends/family recently picked up playing guitar, so I decided to write out some lessons for them. This led me to create this wiki, which I ''hope '' helps a wider audience.
== About MAB Wiki ==
While there are some good '''youtube series ''' and some nice '''pdf's ''' I've found to help people learn guitar, I wasn't aware of an ''all-encompassing '' '''wiki'''...at least one that was up to the standards I feel the public deserves. And while [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] and music specific wiki's exist, they are more about the academic nature of music, not '''guided lessons'''. Such lessons exist on various sites, but I never found they offered the scope or expandability of what I'm trying to offer here - many are very basic, while others are geared specifically to a certain genre.
My goal here is to provide resources to expand the '''musicianship ''' of all guitarists, and possibly even some non-guitarists, regardless of the style of music you play. I have taken basically everything I know about music, organized it, and presented it in an incremental fashion, centered around playing guitar. Of course, I don't know everything, which is why I chose a wiki format - so others can fill in the gaps or strengthen areas where I am weak.
The lessons are laid out in a way that follows traditional music theory, for the most part. However, I try to make examples based more towards modern popular music, particularly rock and/or jazz.
Again, I am not a guitar master, and I am focusing on the things I know the most about. I feel I can thoroughly cover everything you need to know to become an intermediate musician and composer. I will even cover advanced topics; however, these will likely serve more as a branching off point than an extensive resource.
My main interest musically is '''rock and roll ''' of almost every stripe. Yet I find the most interesting rock musicians incorporate a variety of styles into their music, such as '''jazz, blues, classical, ragtime, funk, and folk'''. I aim to help understand key features in such genres and how to incorporate them into your playing.
