Hey everyone,
I've been playing guitar for a few years now, mostly by ear and using tabs, but I've recently realised that I’m missing out on a lot by not being able to read sheet music. I want to improve my skills and dive deeper into music theory, but honestly, the idea of learning to read music ...

Exploring Alternate Tunings for Songwriting
Hey everyone, I’ve been stuck in a bit of a songwriting rut lately and I’m considering trying out some alternate tunings to spark my creativity.
