Youtube is Your Free Online Guitar Tutor
Acoustic Blues guitar lesson spice up that bluesy playing
The internet is a wonderful and magnificent thing. Young people today don’t all appreciate how lucky they are to have the worlds knowledge and skills at their fingertips via the internet.
I started playing over thirty years ago with Bert Weedon’s famous ‘Play in a Day’ book, back in the 1970s. In those days I couldn’t afford guitar lessons so I would watch guitarists very closely at every opportunity.
Learning to play guitar today has been transformed by technology. There are so many excellent guitar tuition DVDs that can be played over and over again, unlike a face to face guitar lesson. And the internet provides an ideal platform for the presentation of guitar tutorials.
There are an abundance of guitar teaching websites but my favourite place for guitar tutorials is Youtube. You can find instructional videos on everything from choosing guitars to making your own electric guitar. There are some excellent videos for all levels of learning, from complete novice through to extremely advanced.
Learning some new techniques, tunes and licks has become my favourite hobby. Often when its raining I’ll stay indoors and learn a new tune or two from Youtube. I can safely say that I have learned more from the internet over the past five years than I learned from books and from watching other guitarists in the preceding twenty years.
Another useful feature is that the system is interactive. When I find a video that I like I will always make it one of my favourites and often drop the performer a note to say thanks. I will often ask a question or two and the video maker will generally come back with a helpful answer. Its a bit like having any number of great guitarists as personal guitar playing consultants.
These days I can’t help but feel a little jealous of the young people who are just starting to play guitar. I like to think that if I had been born at a time when the internet was available, providing this wealth of incredibly valuable instruction and guidance, who knows, I might have become the next Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan.
