There is something magical about a guitar! As a young child, I would sit in
amazement watching my dad create beautiful music with his old beat up
instrument. It seemed to sound better and better as time went on!
In my teenage years the guitar remained an important part of my life, and it
still is to this day.
If you want to learn to play guitar yourself, the best way is to take guitar
lessons, and you can certainly teach yourself to play if you take
a high-quality course and practice, practice, practice!
Here are a few tips for finding the best online guitar lessons:
- Look for a guitar course that has lots of high-quality visual
teaching materials. Since you won't have an instructor to help you, you'll need
to be able to clearly see how to arrange the fingers, strum and pick, as well as
all the other aspects of playing a guitar.
- Choose a series of guitar lessons that are appropriate for you age group.
Some courses are very difficult for children and young teenagers to understand
and follow.
- The best online guitar lessons include a certain amount of "classroom
instruction" followed by practice and exercises.
- Try to find online guitar lessons that emphasize the style of music you wish
to play. For example, the best way to learn to play Bluegrass style flat-top
guitar is to take a course created by an accomplished Bluegrass musician.
Learning to play the guitar is a worthy goal. Being able to play with a band or
simply pick up an instrument and strum a simple tune can give a feeling of
satisfaction like nothing else! And the keys to fast, efficient learning are
great guitar lessons followed by lots of practice!
