About Bruce Clark
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I have studied all aspects of the guitar for the last twenty years. I have had the experience of playing in bands, forming bands and recording (I have recorded two c.d`s to date). I can answer most questions on guitar chords, (approx.3,000), tab reading, types of strings, amplification, and I have hundreds of tablature for hundreds of songs.

Experience
I have years upon years of experience with the guitar ranging from acoustic to electric, from country to rock to blues. I have played rythmn guitar for the last five years to live audiences.
