I’m Keith Greenwood, author of 6-String Logic and Maintenance, a practical guide to understanding music theory and applying it directly to the guitar. I’ve been playing music for over 40 years, and during that time I’ve worn just about every hat imaginable in the guitar world.
I spent nearly two decades building guitars at Taylor Guitars, and longer with my own designs of electric and acoustic guitars that also includes ukuleles, toured internationally as a guitar and bass tech for the Bryan Adams camp, and have shared the stage with players like Steve Vai, Tony MacAlpine, Gary Hoey, Andy Timmons, and Paul Gilbert. Along the way, teaching has always been a passion—both privately and with Guitar Workshop Plus, where I lead week-long masterclasses across the U.S. and Canada whenever I’m available.
This site exists to bring all of that experience together. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, my goal is to help you better understand music, care for your instrument, find the right gear and products you need for your goals as a musician or luthier, and grow confidently as a guitarist.
