Welcome to ** //Guitar Pioneers // ** toc

This wiki site explores the lives of a few of the many pioneers of the guitar. It covers the lives of four of the greatest guitarists to ever live; the great classical guitarist Andres Segovia, Eddie Van Halen of 'Van Halen', Jimi Hendrix of 'The Jimi Hendrix Experience', and Jimmy Page of 'Led Zepplin'. Each of these gutiarists added a new and creative style to the guitar that almsot all modern day guitarists continue to use. There is no doubt that these four intelligent guitarists have led the way for all who play guitar today, and they have earned the right to be called 'pioneers of the guitar'.

= //__Author Biography__// = My name is Joel Minnema. I am currently in the second semester of my first year at the University of Ottawa. I am in the Telfer School of Management where I study commerce and I am also enrolled in their co-op program which will begin next year. I have played the guitar for around 8 years and during that time I have been in one heavy-metal band, taken classical guitar lessons, taught classical guitar, performed at many local concerts, and participated in the royal conservatory of music. I began classical guitar with the royal conservatory of music at the introductory level and made my way to grade 8 classical guitar by passing each gutiar exam, and by writing 3 theory exams. I was hired by my guitar teacher to be a student teacher to younger children at McGuirk Studio's. My job was to teach students how to read music and play the guitar. At the same time I began grade 8 in classical guitar, but was not able to finish as I moved to Ottawa for university.
