The World Wide Web offers a huge amount of resources that can help one learn how to play a guitar. These internet resources not only teach you how to play songs but also provide tips on repairing a broken guitar, playing fancy chords and much more.
What you’ll need to get started with guitar lessons
– You will need a guitar. There are many types of guitars available but any type of six-string guitar will just do just fine.
– You will need a “guitar pick” also called a plectrum designed for use on a guitar. It is recommended that medium gauged picks are easier to start with, but any type will work okay.
– You will need a chair without arms.
– Above all, you will need a reasonable amount of patience.
The online guitar courses are developed by a professional guitar player. The course will have multimedia tutorials that will provide a step-by-step guide to help you understand the fundamentals in playing the guitar.
Some online trainers will send you instructions as PDF documents along with an mp3 file of the lessons for you to practice. After enough practice, you would be expected to record a video of you playing so that you can upload it on YouTube or share it directly with your trainer for evaluation. This is a better way for you to learn so that your trainer can also see how you are progressing.
