Free Online Acoustic Guitar Lessons

By Rosella Campbell


One of the most famous instruments would be none other than the guitar because there are so many people who play it and there are so many people who want to learn how to play it. Now before the internet was made available, people had to pay teachers to teach them the basics of playing this instruments. Nowadays, one can actually get free online acoustic guitar lessons in order to get the basics down.

Now if one has never tried one of these things before, then here are some things to expect. Now in a nutshell, these online lessons would be making use of videos and just some text. Although most of the time the lessons would be in video form, there are times that there would be text so that one will be able to practice when he is not in front of the computer.

Now the videos are extremely important simply because they provide the visual aids of the lesson. If the lesson is all text and no visual aids, it will be extremely hard for the student to grasp the concepts of guitar playing. Through the videos, one will also be able to know how to properly move his hands when he is playing.

Now with these two mediums, the online teacher will be able to teach the viewers just the very basics of playing guitars. Now the first lesson would usually be about the parts of the guitar with high emphasis on the strings because the strings would make the sounds. Of course the videos would be showing the viewer how each string sounds like when plucked.

After learning the basic notes, one will now be touching some strings together to form a uniform sound. This uniform sound is known as a chord and it will be used when one is strumming. One will first learn the basic major chords which are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G and will then go on to learn the basic minor chords.

After learning the basic chords and the strumming techniques that would handle these chords, then the next thing that one would learn would be picking the strings. Now when picking strings, one will be touching some strings and picking the strings one after the other. Of course the video will be showing the viewers the right hand positioning for doing this.

After learning finger picking, one will now be merging both of the techniques and would be now playing a simple song. Now one would most likely be playing a very short song first since it is his first time to play the guitar. He will most likely learn a song with an intro that requires easy finger picking and a chorus that requires strumming of basic chords.

Now if one would want to really delve into the art of playing the guitar, nothing will replace real lessons. If one would just want to learn the basics so that he will be able to jam with his friends in parties or gatherings, then internet lessons will suffice. These internet lessons will be able to teach viewers the basics of playing the instrument really fast.
