Great thing about the internet is that there are guys out there that are more than willing to play a few licks and then show you how they are played. This is EXACTLY the case over on Dolphin Street. There are several lessons I could post but this really jumps out at me and has since I first heard it several months ago. Check out this blues lick and we will do more on Dolphin St. later!

When it comes to free guitar lessons this guy does it right. From beginner lessons, intermediate, to advanced he covers them on his site and YouTube Channel.

Justin Sandercoe’s site JustinGuitar.com is full of lessons offered on the “honor” system. If you have a few bucks you can slip it to him, if not they are free (but try and make a note to go back and drop off a few bucks cause his stuff really is worth it).

To the lesson…I’m going to post the intro YouTube Video here and then give you the link to his Channel for the rest of the lesson. Cool? Cool! Make sure to subscribe in an RSS Reader to his stuff.

You can get the guitar tab or even purchase the entire DVD HERE.

Continue the lesson HERE for Part Two and HERE for Part Three.

This is a cool blues tune you can use to get the feel for playing the blues.  It’s done on acoustic but can be played on electric as well.  Excellent.

Do you recognize the lack of a band or people to play with as a reason you may not play guitar as much anymore?  One of the downfalls for me playing guitar is that the “band” days are far behind me. Sure, I can play along to a CD but I don’t want to hear the guitar. Recently I stumbled across this site with free backing tracks to play along to. If I had this years ago I might not have faded my electric guitar playing out. Isn’t the Internet a great place.?

GuitarBackingTrack.com has 2816 Guitar Backing tracks in it’s archives.  You can go to the site and click play or download the MP3 and make your own practice CD!  Bands are listed alphabetically.  It’s a blast to even browse through the songs, clicking play every now and then, bringing back memories.

Some of them have vocals, some don’t.  Check out this sample of Guns and Roses, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” with vocals.  All you need to do is strap up and plug in.  Doesn’t that sound fun?

I have literally spent hours on this site since I have discovered it.  I hope you have fun with it as well.  Stop back MusicLee Inclined for more free guitar resources as I dig them up!  Rock on!
