Hello and welcome to Guitarkind (GK). I started GK so I could write about guitars, which is something I love to talk about. I have two goals for Guitarkind:
- Offer thoughtful information, reviews, and commentary on guitars, gear, and music. To me, this means not just skimming the surface, but instead exploring topics with curiosity and interest.
- Sift and filter the web’s endless supply of guitar information. In doing so I can serve you, the reader, by saving you time while offering high quality advice, a player’s perspective, and a dash of entertainment. I have a lot of opinions, and I’m not afraid to share them. This includes calling BS on the industry where it is warranted.
I’m not, and won’t be, a professional guitar player. Like many of you, I’m a long time amateur player, albeit one that has absorbed a fair amount of knowledge along the way; Guitarkind gives me the opportunity to share it with you. I have found that a lot of guitar media is geared towards people that are making—or trying to make—a full-time living in music. This is awesome, but the reality is that most of us play for ourselves, and our family and friends, if we’re lucky. And I think we’re lucky, because playing music is a whole lot of fun.
I may include affiliate links on the site, but it will always be for products and companies that I believe in. I may earn a small commission but there is no additional cost to you. Your thoughts, questions, and feedback are welcome.
Happy Playing!
