Dear Reader,
Your birthdate is approaching, christmas too, maybe it's time asking Santa for a beautiful guitar ? Anyway, you're ready for taking guitar lessons. You asked for informations here and there, maybe at your local music instruments store, and found out how expensive it was. The good news is you can learn Guitar by yourself. Here's how.
Learning how to play guitar using online tutorials should require :
Video tutorials
Without movies clearly showing you where to position your fingers on the guitar, it's almost impossible to learn. Fixed photographies are not enough. You must see someone playing live in order to learn the basics correctly.
Step-by-step lessons
You launch your first video. Lesson number 1 says "play like a god", you see fingers covering your screen and moving all the place with a little voice inviting you to place your hands like if you were a Yoga Master.
You must start learning guitar with the basics. I found many online methods which were not teaching tools. And of course, what happens is you get quickly discouraged.
Quality Tracks
Nice original tracks carefully chosen, which are easy to play while nice to hear, will help your motivation grow as you learn. Motivation is essential !
Games
Don't we say "play" guitar ? You must enjoy your lessons. Some theory is necessary but if the whole tutorial is boring you'll drop it down. be careful that games are included in your tutorial.
Not expensive
Well, you're your own teacher so a real good guitar method should be affordable.
If you gather these 5 points 99% of the lessons available online will not make it.
My suggestion
Here's a very good online downloadable guitar tutorial. It's named Jamorama. Give it a try.
I hope this article on how to learn playing guitar online was helpful.
Guitarly yours,
Christophe Tissier
