Stan Hirsch Guitar Blog

A place about music, guitar playing, gigging, jamming, performing, to offer free guitar lessons, learning, musicality, most guitar styles, with the emphasis on the blues. 

A place outside of my website (that is for promoting my music recording and performing career, etc…) where I could share with my students (past, present and future) what I have learned over the last 40+ years of playing, and what I have learned (mostly from my students) from teaching. (30 odd years)

I will try to write on most all the subjects my students (and others) have shown interest in. Things like gigging, jamming, open mic’s etc…And of course all those things about being a musician, becoming a better musician, guitar playing, and learning in general. I will try to write pages on these subjects and more.

I will also offer free guitar lessons (in PDF down-loadable format). Many will be free blues guitar lessons, but most will be applicable to all styles of guitar playing and just general information for players of any instrument.

Most of these guitar lessons will be copied from my general guitar lesson plans, and also from my Blues Workshop Manuals and my blues instruction book (The Blues Guitar Book–”Thumpin’ Thumb & Fiery Fingers” or flyin’ flat-pick).

I welcome any suggestions on topics related to guitar playing and music in general. I am really looking forward to reading comments related to the pages and posts I write here. I would like to create an environment where we all learn. I have learned so much from my students over the last 30 years and am hoping this is a place where I can learn more.Please note: I am not very good at gettin’ all the computer things down, so whatever you see done here should improve as time goes on. I will most likely update things as I learn how to work the program better.Thanks and enjoy-Stan
