How Much Do You Pay for Your Beginner Guitar Lessons?
When I started learning guitar 25 years ago I had a lot of questions in my mind, some of them that I can remember are:
- How to tell that my strings are in tune? There was no digital tuner by that time.
- How can other people change chords smoothly?
- Why can they find chords in a song easily?
- What makes them improvise easily?
- How long will it take to master my guitar?
Today I see that technology really ease up most of my past problems. To tune a guitar for example a newbie now can rely on the electronic guitar tuner. This device really means a lot because it give a high level of confidence to the beginning guitarists. Some electric-acoustic guitars now come with built in strings tuner, the same device you may also find on some type of guitar amplifiers. Technology makes it easy.
To learn chords movement people can visit youtube.com. There’s a lot of good guitar lessons for beginner can be found there, name it how to form a chord and fret it on the fretboard or how to strum or to fingerpick the guitar. If you are looking for the theory behind the chords family so you can learn to find chords for your favorite songs you can get this information from some informative guitar websites.
After mastering the guitar chords we normally are ‘tempted’ to play guitar leads. Again youtube is one of the best online resources to consult. There are tons of good guitar video lessons teaching how to learn the guitar scales and apply them to spice up your guitar playing. The limit is your imagination. You can also find the guitar tabs for the guitar leads you are looking for, along with the MIDI files to give you the sample of the said leads.
Unless you can’t afford to pay for your internet connection I do believe that it’s cheaper and better to learn guitar online. Some of you may say that hiring a guitar tutor is better because he/she can tell you if you make some mistakes or bad habits but I would say that you can find the same information online too. A guitar video lesson with 4 or 5 stars will normally tell you that you can learn some useful information from it.
This article is not to discredit guitar tutors at all. For intermediate or advance level a good guitar tutor can help you to improve your guitar playing. Some real good guitar tutors also sell their DVD tutorials online. This can be a good option if you can’t hire a real one.
