What is Video Guitar Glossary?
Video Guitar Glossary is a site created by Daniel Seriff and Steve Newbrough. These long time friends and Alumni of
University of North Carolina School of the Arts together share over three decades of teaching experience in private
and classroom settings.
​
Through many conversations concerning guitar technique, music theory, guitar equipment, and pedagogy, the two were perplexed by a complete lack of sources for concise focused information in video form on the internet.
Many platforms reward content creators for creating extended and long playing videos. For the student searching
for a quick answer, this means wading through minutes or hours of content before finding the answer to a question that could have been explained in 30 seconds.
