About Us.
The brainchild of guitarist Steve Trovato, Zap Guitar was created to provide uniquely affordable, accessible guitar instruction, information and advice in a forum allowing for a personal experience without the time and financial constraints that often stop musicians mid-effort. Zap Guitar fills the gap, being an ideal addition to private lessons, or a resource for musicians wanting on-demand instruction in an easy-to-follow format.

Trovato is a multi-discipline player who has taught for nearly two decades, first at the renowned Guitar Institute of Technology (now known as the Music Institute of Technology) and now as a faculty member in the Studio Jazz Department of the University of Southern California. The author of 21 books in guitar instruction and numerous articles in magazines such as Guitar Player, Guitar One, Axe or Guitar Club, Trovato stays busy with recording gigs, concert tours and teaching.

With Trovato as front man, Zap Guitar instructors include some of the finest professional guitar instructors and players found in any studio, university faculty, or concert tour. From country to blues to jazz to classical and beyond, Zap Guitar offers Trovato's unique brand of online visual notation and tablature, bringing you the most comprehensive instruction you're likely to find anywhere, along with scores of tools, tips, and tricks of the trade.

Whether you've just begun, you've played a bit, or you've only dreamed of playing, there's no better place than Zap Guitar to learn in your own time, at your own pace, all those guitar riffs you've been dying to master.
