HCG Home

Hey guitar players!
Welcome to the new home of High Country Guitar.

Pardon Our Dust: HCG is undergoing a major re-model.  The site is open to the public during construction, but please be aware that some pieces may be missing, incomplete, etc.

MODES WORKSHOP IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Hit the link up top to check it out. (Jan. 24, 2012)

High Country Guitar is a no-frills website devoted to teaching guitar in a simple and (most importantly) PRACTICAL way that is easy to understand, even if you don’t have much musical background.  No matter what kind of music you want to play, the ideas in this website will open up the neck of the guitar for you so you can let your creativity flow.

What can HCG do for you?

  • HCG has a remarkably simple system for mapping out the neck of the guitar so that you can get almost any kind of sound in any key, without needing a degree in rocket science–or even music–to get it.
  • FREE “Mini-Clinics” to get you up to speed on some of the basic things you’ll need to know in order to reach new heights with your playing.
  • A GIGANTIC workshop where you can try out new ideas along with play-along loops so that you can hear the ideas in action.
  • The ability to rate lessons, ask questions, and receive direct responses from HCG.
  • Video accompaniment to most lessons (coming soon)
  • Audio examples galore, so that you can really develop your ears.
  • Downloadable practice materials for when you don’t feel like practicing in front of a computer.

Who is HCG designed for?

High Country Guitar is designed for MOST guitar players.  The only guitarists who I would say might NOT find this website useful are absolute beginners or very advanced players.  But if you are anywhere in between those two extremes, I think that you will find this website to be very useful in helping you learn your way around the neck of the guitar, which will open up a world of creative possibilities, regardless of what kind of music you want to play.

This website has no gimmicks, no popups, no misleading links, no B.S.  All of the content is currently available for FREE (with user registration), and starting early in 2012, some of the content will be available for a small monthly fee.

All content on this site is created by me, Paul Murin.  Click the “About Me” link up top to learn more about me.  I create the lessons, I listen to user feedback, I answer user questions personally.  I want to help, and I hope you’ll support me as I build this site.

Meanwhile, at the moment, you will find that there are pages on the site that are not yet complete, links that are not working, etc.  Please feel free to look around, and bear with me as I re-build my site.  If you wish to contact me, hit the “contact” page on the menu toward the top of your screen.
