Learning From Free Online Acoustic Guitar Lessons

By Rosella Campbell


If one would want to learn to play a popular instrument, then he would most likely want to learn how to play the guitar because there is probably no other instrument that is as popular as the guitar. Luckily, it is actually possible for people to now get basic free online acoustic guitar lessons from certain websites like Youtube and such. This is the ideal thing to do if one cannot afford a tutor or teacher.

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.

Of course since there is no personal teacher involved, then one will actually have to rely on videos for visuals. The videos will be showing the viewers how the proper hand position is and how the proper hand movement is. The video is there for the purpose of making sure that the student will fully understand the lesson.

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.

Once one has learned the different sounds that each string makes, he will then be learning how to make a chord. For those who do not know, a chord is a combination of notes that would make a uniform sound. There are two types of basic chords that one would be learning namely the major chords and the minor chords.

Now after learning the basic chords, one will now be learning the art of finger picking or simply picking the notes in a way that would make a tune. Now this would make a slightly less heavy sound as to the strumming of course because the strings are sounded one by one. Now the videos would be showing the viewers the hand positions for finger picking.

Once one has mastered these two techniques, then he may combine them both and play a song. Now the teacher would most likely let the viewer play a very simple song first since he does not have much experience with the instrument yet. Usually, these practice songs would consist of an intro that does finger picking and a chorus that requires strumming 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.
