I ran across an interesting website, Farhatguitar.com, by an Argentinian music professor who goes by the name of Marcos Augusto Farhat. He has an extensive musical background and offers free guitar tabs and lessons on his website. This is an excellent website for anyone and everyone interested in playing the guitar, because it offers tabs and video lessons on a growing variety of songs and genres, from The Police to Blink 182 as well as Spanish musicians; lessons on tuning and basic exercises and a song request section.

The Video lessons are specially interesting because he demonstrates how to play the songs from various angles and breaks the songs into sections to increase the ease of learning; which is immensely helpful for beginner guitarists who could make use of all the help they can get. And for those who would want them, the material is also provided typed.

Even though the site has advertisements, a donation page is included which states that:

Your Donation is important to keep this web site Free, because as it´s growing every day,the maintenance is becoming more expensive too (license Fee for using tab and lyrics, and a relible Hosting for all the videos)

and PayPal is the way to donate. Also, video lessons are sold at a very affordable price.

A forum section on Farhatguitar.com has become popular because it allows users to request songs for the professor to work on then post on the site, which is good because it allows for somewhat of a one on one relationship between the professor and the visitor.

All in all, Farhatguitar.com is a great website for those who are looking to pick up the guitar as well as for those who already have. Be sure to pay him a visit.
