Daily Guitar Lesson System* Created by Kirk Malay - A unique routine for guitar theory efficiency.  

"The Mode of the Day" & "The Key of the Month" practice system, featured in the Daily Guitar Lessons section of this web site, was original created by Kirk Malay in 1990.  Then became the foundation fo the educational software, The Daily Guitar Lesson v1.0. in 1993. This software title made it debut public appearance by being a featured product for the Rock & Roll Society booth at the 1997 National Association of Music Merchants (N.A.M.M.) trade show in California. Since then the daily guitar lessons routine has become a increasingly popular and vital part of this web site (go directly to lessons).
