Guitartisan definition of   –  A mixture of two words

1. Guitar – Instrument of the chordophone family being a stringed  instrument played by plucking either with the fingers (With or without nails or finger picks) or a pick or Plectrum (held usually between the thumb and index finger). Although this Wickipedia definition is now a little outdated as some well known and highly regarded guitar players merely use a tapping technique and this leads us into another branch of the infinite styles of playing the guitar. This site will hopefully lead us to all styles of playing and maybe even find some new ones!

2. Artisan – Skilled manual worker,  a crafts person  [Probably French, from Italian artigiano, from Vulgar Latin* artitiānus, from Latin artītus, skilled in the arts past participle of artīre, to instruct in the arts, from ars, art-, art.] {Dictionary.com}

This sounds entirely fitting for a guitar teacher, but, it applies to me in a lot of other fields also as I am also a barn converter (Look on the blog),  Animal husband-person,  I have to inject the sheep and dispatch the roosters (Also look on the blog) although this is a more intense it’s time wise only a small part of the process, my partner and family do a lot of the everyday stuff.
