ABOUT
GUSTAVO PEREIRA

AUTHOR
Gustavo isn’t like other guitar players; instead of paying for lessons from a guitar teacher, he traveled around the world to watch the greats. 

Along the way, he’s met some really amazing people that have shared some invaluable lessons that he hopes to share with anyone looking to learn the guitar. 

He doesn’t believe in all of the fancy talk that comes with learning the guitar; he wants to break down the basics so that no matter what type of musical experience you have, you’ll understand too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I giving advice on Guitar Space?

I decided to give advice on Guitar Space because when I started playing, I learned a lot from other more experienced players. In fact, this life-long journey of playing the guitar has brought some of the most amazing people into my life. 

That is why sharing knowledge about everything related to music and guitar is one of my passions. I always try to present each concept the way I would have liked someone to explain it to me when I didn’t know a lot about the instrument. A small push in the right direction can have amazing results!

What is my favorite guitar?

I have always been a huge fan of the Gibson SG, mainly because while growing up, I listened to a lot of AC/DC and Black Sabbath, and now I am a huge fan of Derek Trucks, all players who are known for using this guitar.

What’s the best piece of advice I’d give to a beginning guitarist?

Take your time with your instrument, having fun during every stage of learning it, and if you feel overwhelmed, just relax for a moment with some of your favorite music.

What song am I learning how to master now?

Currently working on Scott Henderson’s “Dolemite”!

What was the first song I learned how to play?

From top to bottom, with solo included, it was Highway to Hell, by AC/DC.
