Online Guitar Lessons

Video-based online guitar lessons have dramatically changed the way in which you can learn how to play the guitar. For starters, you can incorporate your guitar lessons into your schedule based on what works for you. No longer are you forced to find a time that fits with your instructor’s schedule – who, by the way, happens to be teaching 60 other students. If you work evenings and your ideal lesson time is 2:00 a.m. … perfect!

And no longer is your progress limited by the amount of time you actually get to spend with your guitar instructor. If you’ve ever taken private lessons, the following frustrating experience may be all too familiar. You arrive at your lesson ready to go. Not too far into the half hour, the two of you get sidetracked by some discussion that’s not directly related to what you’re working on. Before you know it, your guitar instructor glances at his watch – only five minutes left. You quickly run through the week’s topic. Time’s up! As you’re packing up your guitar, the instructor says: “Just keep working on the same thing for next week.” You had a good discussion, but it wasn’t worth the price you paid (usually one month’s fee divided by four, which is about $25).

I knew a person who used to pay for two lessons a week in order to be comfortable with the pace of material. Most of us can’t afford to do that. And you know what? We shouldn’t have to. Enter Online Guitar Lessons. Now you can move at a pace that exactly matches your lifestyle. If you’re a high-school student on summer vacation who can practice eight hours a day, you can move through lessons at lightning speed. If, on the other hand, you’re a working parent of three who is trying to learn guitar in what little spare time you have, you can move through the lessons at a slower pace.

Further, one of the really nice things about online guitar lessons is that you can easily go back and review a particular lesson any time you want. As a matter of practicality, private guitar instructors cannot write down everything. This often leads to a lot of expensive private-instruction time being spent reviewing material that’s already been covered. With online guitar lessons, you can just load up the old lesson, fast forward to the section you’re interested in, and watch it again. Also, since the lessons are created to be used by a large number of people, the instructors who create the online guitar lessons almost always create detailed supplementary content, such as tablature and other useful information, that fully documents the lesson.

As you probably can tell, I’m a big fan of online guitar lessons. However, there are a couple of gotchas you need to watch out for. First, make sure you’re dealing with a high-quality product. Not everyone who’s sat in front of a video camera with a guitar deserves your attention. You want to make sure your dealing with a person who is first and foremost a professional guitar instructor. Second, the nature of video-based online guitar lessons makes it easier to get distracted in 100 different directions without making meaningful progress in any. To avoid this problem, find an instructor who organizes his or her lessons into well planned sequences. It’s fine to experiment, but make sure you stay focused on your long-term progress.
