Guitar Noise

There’s no end to the tools available for someone learning to play guitar. Our advice has always been to use as many of those different tools as you can; whether they be guitar teachers, friends playing in bands, books, DVDs or other websites. At times the Internet changes faster than most people can keep up with. This is why we’re always trying new things and adding features behind the scenes.

Our latest series of additions includes links to our favorite social networking sites. Most of these sites are probably here to stay. They also do a better job than we do of following the changing tides of technology. Best of all, they will help put you in touch with one another. This can only be a good thing as you all share the common goal of becoming better guitar players.

Here is a quick run down of the social networking sites we’re a part of:

Twitter – Sometimes you can’t see it, but there’s always a lot of activity going on behind the scenes at Guitar Noise. Some of you may wish to receive rapid updates on different devices and that’s where Twitter comes in. We’ve already been tweeting about some of the daily happenings at Guitar Noise for a few months now. Twitter updates can be a little annoying when they’re overdone, so if you follow us on Twitter it’s unlikely there’ll be more than one update a day – unless there is something big going on. You can follow us here.

Facebook – Since Facebook is already the largest and most time-consuming social networking site, we thought we’d set up a fan page here. Regular members of our forums will like putting a face to some of their online friends. As time goes on we’ll continue adding new photos, posting news items and videos – and you can do the same. It will be updated regularly with links to our latest lessons and podcasts and even the latest issue of Guitar Noise News. Come on by and sign in as a fan!

Myspace – Everyday my inbox is bombarded with requests from bands asking me to listen to their music. All these bands have Myspace pages and the days of receiving a CD in the mail are most definitely nearly over. Head over to our Myspace profile and you can listen to some of our favorite bands, music we’ve reviewed and even music uploaded by Guitar Noise members. If you’re into that, check out the Guitar Noise Myspace page and start sharing your music.

RSS Feeds – We’ve been using RSS feeds for our lessons since last summer. By subscribing to these feeds, you won’t have to keep hitting refresh or visit the home page to see what’s new. Every time something new is posted you’ll be notified automatically. This can be done through most web browsers, it’s easy to set up and costs nothing to use. Find out more about how syndication works or subscribe to our feed.

Keep an eye out for any of the above icons on our site. From there you’ll be able to join us in different locations around the web. We hope to see you there. We also hope you’ll bring your brings too.
