Guitar Quiz and Trivia


Hey guys,
On my blog, all I did till now was putting up posts on lessons, cool guitar and gear reviews, exercises and tips. It’s a pretty stereotype thing. So I thought of changing things up a bit and having a bit of fun today. Today I’m putting up a quiz for you guys to test your knowledge about guitar. It’s not all lesson related. I’m really excited to be putting this up. The answers are at the bottom. No peaking!

Take your pens and pads out kids!!!
