Online guitar lessons just get better
Using new advanced music software technology, online guitar lessons are an excellent and inexpensive learning system for students who don’t respond well to individual lessons, or even find them intimidating.
For the cost of a couple of guitar lessons with your local teacher, you can download an online guitar lesson for absolute beginner, intermediate, or advanced guitarists that will take you as far as you want, with your hobby or career. And of course you only make one payment. And best of all, you just have to turn on your computer, in a few months, or a year, to retake a free refresher course. Most come with a money back guarantee.
You can listen and compare different teaching methods online before choosing. Some focus on a genre, or a specific aspect of guitar playing, such as bass guitar lessons, acoustic guitar lessons, learning guitar chords or jazz or blues playing, or how to play guitar fast like Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Kirk Hammett and other great guitarists.
Uniquely, online guitar lessons simultaneously stimulate our sense of sight, hearing, and touch as we look, listen, and play repeatedly, in our own time, at our own pace, in our own home, helping the process of learning and memory.
Other online guitar lessons will teach you how to read and play guitar tabs, bass tabs, or tab music. This is a form of music notation, telling players where to place their fingers on the fretboard rather than what pitches or notes to play. Tabs can be easily written as ASCII tab (pronounced “ask-ee”), a plain text computer file, and are easy to download. If you type “music tab” into Google, it will find you thousands of melodies and loops that you can download to practice. This will allow you to play the guitar quickly, without any prior knowledge of music theory, and you don’t even need to know how to read music!
But keep in mind that if you only read from the tab, you won’t be able to join other musicians and you won’t be able to read music that has been composed for other instruments or written in standard staff/sheet music notation. .
At the same time, the music software has also advanced a rhythm that you can easily use along with your online guitar lessons. Some online guitar lessons include their own software that allows you to slow down a loop or piece of music until you’re up to speed. The musical pitch is maintained, so your instrument will sound like the instrument you can hear in the video, but played at a slower speed.
You can also purchase this software separately, or you can download other music software that allows you to isolate guitar chords and bass charts for any pop/rock or other genre song. Simply select a song or music from almost any file format, such as CD or MP3, click “Analyze” and chords, bass notes, and any hidden pitches will be revealed. You can then record and loop or slow down the piece and improvise at whatever speed suits you, until you’re ready to go faster. You’ll quickly learn pieces that were previously too difficult to get right, all for the price of a couple of guitar lessons.
And another thing. When learning to play the guitar or other instrument, you should not overlook the valuable contribution that backing music or backing music will have on your performing abilities. CDs are available for hundreds of popular songs and music with the guitar (or other instrument) section removed, ready for you to play your way around. All you need is a CD player to have the best after having a real live band playing with you when you practice. And they’ll help you feel more comfortable when you start playing along with your friends and other musicians. Backing CDs are also the easiest and least expensive way to make a recording that shows you playing your own instrument. Then, if you want, you can submit your music to websites, radio stations, or schools.
There has never been a better time to get online and learn to play the guitar.
