Guitar Instructions: Learn to play acoustic guitar online

By Tommy Beltrani

Many beginner guitar players end up wasting a lot of their time messing around on their instrument and never really learning anything. This is a common trap beginners fall into and can be easily prevented if they would get good quality guitar instructions. Nowadays there are two very useful ways to learn to play acoustic guitar, you could decide to go to a guitar teacher, which I recommend when possible, or you could learn with online guitar lessons.

They are systems that work and you must just decide what is best for you.

With all the content available online is no surprise that many choose to learn to play acoustic guitar from the comfort of their home.

First choice would be to go for lessons with a good teacher because he can give you personalized advice, something a machine cannot give you. If you learn online you need to be a little more informed and use your judgment, instead of that of your tutor, to find the right training for you between the thousands of products available. One of the biggest traps when learning online is free tutorials. Many go from a free video to another without really learning anything and actually wasting their time. In the hope of funding good cheap advice you'll end up learning a lot of nothing. No one give prime tutorials for nothing. All the free stuff online is there to draw traffic and to let to you test their tutorials before you buy. Believe me no one gives away good content for nothing. If you want good valuable guitar tutorials you'll have to get your credit card out but the good news is that a good course is way cheaper than actual classes.

The nice thing about leaning online is that you can watch the tutorials as many times as you need to. If you forget something or need to watch how it's done one million times before you get it right, no problem, your lesson is a click away.

With online you can have your lessons whenever and wherever you want to. This is also quite nice about online guitar lessons! Most of us are working parents or just have a tight schedule and very often it's impossible to go for classes at a decent time. Many of you don't even try to take guitar lessons for this reason. If that is you, online guitar lessons can just be the easiest way to learn to play.

Last but not least you can get the best teachers in the world. Not all tutors are the same and you don't want just anybody that can play a couple of songs to be your mentor. There are incredible players on the planet with great experience and to have their advice a click away it's actually mind blowing.

In conclusion my advice is to always try to fit in classes with a good tutor in your town, but if that is difficult for what ever reasons, online can be your best alternative.
