Hi, my name is Devin and I am the creator of Country Guitar Online. This website has been somewhat of a work in process, but it is finally starting to come together. I really appreciate all of the positive feedback and encouragement from all of you along the way!

So anyways, here's a little about me...I grew up in Texas and that is where I still live today. I love everything about the Texas Hill Country. I began studying music at a young age when my parents signed me up for piano lessons. I took piano lessons for about seven years but then I discovered the guitar. I immediately loved it and I switched my focus entirely. As of now, I've been playing guitar for about 15 years or so. I started out playing blues, rock, and pop, but then I later became obsessed with learning country songs and country lead guitar licks. This eventually led me to bluegrass which is my favorite thing to play these days. I love the bluegrass sound and the challenge of flatpicking.

I played in a band in high school and I have played around Texas here and there with various musicians, but I haven't played out much lately. My favorite thing to do is sit around and just practice. I would do it all day if I could get away with it :)

Teaching guitar is another one of my passions. About a year ago, I got the idea to create a website with free guitar instructional videos and eventually Country Guitar Online was born. I remember when I was first starting out, it seemed like it was always tough to find quality lessons at a reasonable price. That's why I plan to keep these lessons free for everyone now and in the future. I've spent a lot of time putting these lessons together and I really hope they have helped you progress as a guitar player. If you ever have any thoughts on ways to improve the lessons, feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I am always open to suggestions.

Recently, I have begun posting some videos from a few of my favorite guitar instructors on the internet. These instructors have taught me a lot along the way and hopefully their lessons will do the same for you. If you have any song requests, check out the song request box on the right sidebar of the site. I've gotten several requests, but I will do my best to put together a lesson for you as soon as possible. Also be sure to join the brand new forum! I am really excited about this new feature and I think it will be a great way for you to network with other guitar players from around the world. Follow me on Twitter and find me on Google+. So anyways, thanks for stopping by and thanks again for all of you support. See you at the lessons!
