This site was started in July of 2000, to fill a void in the area of Christian tab sites on the internet. There were several decent sites out there, but there was more could be done to serve the Christian guitarist community. Thus, Christian Guitar Resources was born! This site is here to help you help each other.
Also, here is a neat thread on our message board with more about the history of the site, including old screenshots of the main site and message board.
The Team
I aquired the site in April 2007. I am 30 years old, I was born in Baltimore, MD and currently live in Dallas, TX. I've been playing guitar for a little over five years, but I'm still a novice guitar player.
Art came to CGR in 2001, and soon thereafter became a moderator in The West Coast. Since then, he has moderated Sports and Athletics, Movies and TV, Music Business and Technology, Jounals and Blogs, Individual Artists, CD REviews, and General Discussion at different times. He was promoted to Super Moderator in July 2005, where he has served since that time. Art currently splits his time among CGR, his job as an Emergency Medical Technician, and his wife. He is married to Rachel (hapa_angel), who he met on CGR. They live together in the Sacramento, CA area.
I came here in 2005 because my daughter was a member and she asked me to join. I have a bachelor's degree in nursing and a master's in organizational psychology. I am a Director at a hospital. I live in central California with my husband (ApprovedWorker) and daughter (mtlmouth). I have been moderator of the Prayer Request forum and the Advice forum, and I love to pray for the good people of CGR - so don't hesitate to let me know if you are in need of prayer!
An active member of the forums since September of 2002. Daniel is the newset member of the administrative team. He previously moderated Canada, as well as a number of other forums. He resides in Aldergrove, BC with his wife Rachael, and works at Trinity Western University in the Registrar's Office. You may also find him playing shows with his band, The Neverknown, though not as often as he would like
The Anonymous Admin currently is pursuing a Masters of Divinity at Talbot School of Theology. He has his bachelors degree in Bible from Moody Bible Institute. He has been on CGR since 2001, first as a regular user, then as a mod in Prayer Requests and Advice before being appointed as SMod and subsequently Admin. He is married to his lovely wife since May of '05. His wife would also prefer to remain anonymous. He spends his time monkying with amp and guitar electronics, doing his homework for his masters program, taking care of his wife, playing guitar and CGR.
Our Future
Who knows? So far, our growth has been astounding, and that is a big benefit to you. As more people visit the site, more people send in songs, which helps everyone out. I'm adding new songs to the site pretty much every day, and I'm always working on new ideas for the site. If you ever have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.
