Start Learning the Guitar Today for Free
These free guitar lesson sites are popping up all over the web - so how do we know which ones are any good or not? Anything that’s free has to have a catch right? Well no actually - or yes and no, or was it no?
I’ll stop that before I completely confuse myself (easily done) and lose my train of thought
Anyway - where was I? Oh yes - free guitar lessons on the Internet, hmmmmm. The old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ does apply here but only if you’re a beginner. If like me you’ve been playing for 20 years it’s easy enough to find tabs and music of anything you wan to learn then head on over to Youtube and find a video lesson of someone showing you how to play it - hooray!
Good for Me - Not so Good for a Beginner
So how does this work for a beginner? Sure you can google around for beginner stuff, but how do you know what to google and in what order? The main reason I’m taking such an interest in beginner online lessons now is because I’ve reached the ripe old age where I want to go into jazz - and my bluesy bendy style does not make it easy for me to just transition into it (I’ve tried).
So I’m doing basics 101 right from the very beginning and I’m doing it all from online/downloadable material. I’m kicking myslef for not doing it this way 20 years ago but the option wasn’t available so I’m not kicking myself that hard- or at all actually but you you know what I mean.
So for a beginner it’s essential to go into learning the guitar online with some expectations and a bit of foundational mindset to ensure you don’t waste time, money or give up in frustration. That’s why I’ve put together a quick guide on How To Download Guitar Lessons and Fast Track Your Learning in 5 Easy Steps
If I’ve learnt anything from learning the ‘rock & roll’ way and having to go back over basic theory and technique is that I wish I’d done it the other way round. Get your basics right and you can soon follow along with Youtube lessons like this one here:
