		<description><![CDATA[<p>A brief introduction explaining what the blog will be about along with some details about my musical background.</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, welcome to totalguitarist.com and the blog!</p>

<h2>What to Expect</h2>

<p>Before I get into posting articles for this blog, I want to give an idea of what you can expect as far as content. The primary focus of the blog will be answering questions submitted by readers. I will also be posting various articles that aren&#8217;t suited for the <a href="http://totalguitarist.com/lessons/">lesson section</a>, videos of guitarists I find interesting, and more. I will mostly steer clear of topics like guitar gear, news related to guitar, etc. Those topics don&#8217;t interest me that much and there are other publications that cover them better than I could.</p>

<p>If you have any questions related to guitar playing, music theory, or music in general, feel free to <a href="http://totalguitarist.com/blog/questions/">submit your questions</a>.</p>

<h2>A Little About Me</h2>

<p>I&#8217;ve played guitar for about 16 years. During that time I have dabbled in many different styles, including classical, fingerstyle, rock, jazz, blues, metal, and more. I also play classical piano, a little banjo, and have done a bit of composing.</p>

<p>My taste in music is pretty eclectic. I play and/or listen to jazz, classical, rock, Celtic, and many other styles. My favorite guitarists include Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Hedges Leo Kottke, Pierre Bensusan, and too many others to name.</p>
