He’s a brilliant guitarist who loves to jam Christian rock! If you want to study with Pastor Brad, too, just tell him The Christian Guitarist sent you. He has some good stuff and it’sonly $50 per 6-week course—and he’ll answer any questions you have as you go. Seriously, it’s down-to-earth, great-for-beginners rock guitar learning. In my opinion after having tried several, it’s some of the best Christian rock guitar teaching on the net.</p>http://christianguitarist.tumblr.com/post/160031655http://christianguitarist.tumblr.com/post/160031655Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:03:00 -0500<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GF9wo9sVn2c?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Tony Melendez (via <a href="http://youtube.com/user/juvdm">juvdm</a>)</p>http://christianguitarist.tumblr.com/post/42817172http://christianguitarist.tumblr.com/post/42817172Sat, 19 Jul 2008 07:59:38 -0500GuitarCardio.com: Give Your Fingers a Workout: This is really good stuff.
