Guitar Aficionado (GA) started out as a physical magazine and guitar news site. Since then we’ve change ownership, but we still provide great content for guitarists.
While the previous GA owners were focused on guitar news, we’re more focused on helping guitarists improve their playing and reaching their full potential. We’ve already written a complete guide on how to play guitar, as well as looked at more specific topics such as guitar shipping costs.
While we don’t currently provide guitar tabs or online guitar lessons, both are things we plan on doing in future.
Have a look around, and see how we can help you.
