About Chainsaw Guitar Tuition

I started this website in order to help fellow guitarists and/or bassists (that's you!) to play the music that they love. That's it. What makes this site different from alot of the other guitar tuition websites out there is that:

• A) I'm not trying to scam you, or sell you cheap "how to shred" programs (which, simply don't work anyway!)
• B) Everything I write on this site is from my own experience, and is based on my technique philosophy. This means that I will never just regurgitate what I've heard others say, I will only tell you the techniques that actually work in practice (and that have worked for me!)
• C) Same thing goes for any product I recommend. I would never tell you to get something/do something that I wasn't 100% sure of!

So, now that we've been introduced, I hope you find my website helpful for your guitar/bass playing! If you have any questions, or would like to ask about one-to-one tuition, please don't hesitate to contact me!
