Why You Should Take Online Guitar Lessons
April 27th, 2010
Many people want to learn to play the guitar but never get to actually commit to doing it. It’s a real shame because the guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments. It has a great sound and it can be used to play almost any type of song or melody, plus it’s relatively easy to carry around. With all these features a guitar has, it’s certainly not the lack of desire that keeps most people from learning how to play the guitar.
In fact, in most cases it has to do with time and money. Most of us simply don’t have the time to commute to guitar classes or afford to pay for a personal guitar instructor. Moreover, some schools are just not aimed at the average person who just wants to learn to play a few tunes, but rather focus on more advanced guitar courses.
The solution to all this would be teaching yourself how to play the guitar. But it does seem nearly impossible doesn’t it? Well, it used to be. I mean, how is it possible to learn to play music from a book or something, right? It’s not! But we’re not talking about books in the first place!
We’re talking about computer-based multimedia guitar courses that you can buy on the Internet. Think about it, a multimedia course will not only let you know how a tune is meant to be played, but will also allow you to record and compare your performance to the correct one. And as far as practice is concerned, you can see video instruction of basic guitar exercises and play it back as many times as necessary until you “get it”.
Furthermore, a PC-based guitar course will allow you to go at your own pace which may even be faster that the pace many schools or many instructors teach their students. Add to that the fact that you’ll be saving a huge amount of time and money and you have every reason in the world to try an online guitar course at a fraction of the cost.

What should I do to take at home guitar lessons?
I want to learn how to play the guitar but I don’t want to take online lessons or to go to class with others. How do I get an instructor that will come to my house and give me lessons or get private lessons?

Go to some guitar shops and ask around…

Some music stores give lessons so ask about them. Ask if there’s a teacher who gives private lessons and the employee will most likely give you that teacher’s number (or they advertise lessons in the store somewhere).

I know of very few guitar teachers who will come to your home and if they do, they will CHARGE more.
Check with your local music store and get some recommendations for teachers, many of whom will give private lessons at the store or in their own studio.

why not just teach yourself?
online
learn basic chords, and practise playing songs.
a lot cheaper. i taught myself to play, then i went to lessons cause my mom wanted me to, but lessons didn’t help, cause it was stuff common sense could figure out. I stopped lessons, and now i just play whatever i want to.

When I first started out I got real frustrated… Didnt have the money to go to instructor taught in person lessons…It seemed like no matter what I tried, I was stuck because I had a physical issue (my fingers) not a learning issue (my brain). I stumbled upon a course I downloaded that was way better than the one I bought at the music store. I’d give it a try, I picked up my skill real fast once I got this and it taught me so much and helped me overcome my coordination issues.

I’m a part time professional guitarist of over 40 years. Suffice it to say I saw the Beatles in concert when I was a teenager.
The very best guitar instructor I have ever found is a gentleman by the name of Arlen Roth. Sure, he’s a hot electric guitarist, but he provides lessons in all styles.
He has a great easy going style and he makes his lessons easily understandable.
I have no connection with Arlen, but through the many instructional books, videos, dvd’s, cassette tapes, magazine subscriptions I’ve poured over through the years, Arlen is a master at teaching. He’s the best out there.
I give him my highest possible recomendation.
Here’s his website…read the reviews, decide for yourself…then click on "online store," then click on "books," then check out his " complete acoustic guitar."
Best of luck , and practice till those fingers bleed! LOL
