We encourage you to participate in our community as much or as little as you like. If you are reading this, you are a Guest. Contributors are people who post tricks. Contributors from around the world post tricks to Guitar Tricks, their tricks are found at Your Tricks. If you want to be a Contributor, go right ahead.
Hosts are people who have added significant new knowledge to Guitar Tricks.
A Host's work is gathered into a section of Guitar Tricks so that it it can be easily accessed by others and viewed as a single body of work. They like to work with other guitarists. If you want to be a Host, you need to contribute at least two tricks with sound, and then apply. The first six hosts were invited by Jon. Nobody ever elected Jon, so we're not sure of his qualifications, but everybody else has some.
