Gitarre Spielen has moved to www.guitarplaying.com. GS aims: "To provide the guitarist community a home
on the web. We provide a way for guitarists to improve themselves, laughs,
downloadables, information, a way to interact with other guitarists, and, well, just
about everything else that would be useful to every type of guitarist ranging from
wanna-be to professional and classical to hard rock! Gitarre Spielen has over
one year of experience under its belt and is run by a professional, precise, hard
working, and dedicated staff in order to give our visitors exactly what the web
needs... not a guitar site that is simply thrown together and is done with, but
rather an enormous guitar site that never stops, never rests, and is never
satisfied with what it has!" Sounds like this site!

TOO BIG !!!
Many of the pages on this site are becomming too big, so I'm in the process of chopping the "biggies" in two, hence we now have TAB and TAB 2, GUITAR and GUITAR 2, etc.
The top navigation frame is now also split in two, offering more options - just toggle between the default main options and further options by clicking on the red arrows above  |
There's also a page being developed for Classical Guitarists. The Band pages are also rapidly being developed - Jimi's moving to a page of his own and I looking for content for a page of Women Guitarists.
Your feedback on these developments is welcome!

Punk brats Green Day return to Australia for a series of shows in March. See the
trio at Festival Hall where they play their only show in Melbourne.
Green Day's latest album, Nimrod, kicks along with their signature
punk-meets-pop formula. Together since 1988, these guys have proved they're no
overnight fad. The re-inventors of classic punk merge their sound with bouncy
pop.
Terry Allan Hall
Texas' Contemporary Acoustic Singer/Songsmith/Multi-instrumentalist. "His music is a tasty concoction of Good-time Rock and Country/Folk Gold seasoned with a smidgeon of Jazz, a pinch each of Tin Pan Alley and The Great Southwest, and a healthy

confident command of the 6- and 12-string guitar, mandolin, Portugese Craviola, dulcimer, and Irish
banjo"
