I love the guitar! You know what's really great about it? Well, one thing is you can take it with you just about anywhere you go. Granted, the airlines might give you a hard time if you try to carry one onboard. But for all else, it's easy and fun to bring with you. I like to take one of mine camping with me.

Glenn Tinturin is now in South County where he is offering guitar lessons to a few interested students. Glenn, a world traveled performer, recording artist, and teacher will be providing his guitar instruction in a Rancho Santa Margarita studio.

This maybe should go under the FAQ section, but it mostly gets asked about guitar lessons. "If I want to play (fill in the blank) style, such as rock, what kind of lessons should I take?" Well, 90% of rock music uses three to four chords. If that's all you want to learn, then those chords can be learned in a day. But if you want to write your own music, invent your own rhythms, and learn to play the music of the masters of any style, then definitely learn to play classical. And, if you really want to rip...
