Free Online Acoustic Guitar Lessons

By Rosella Campbell


The guitar is one of the most well loved instruments of all time because it is one of the easiest to access whenever one would want a tune to go with his song. Now unlike before, it is now actually possible to get lessons for this instrument from the internet. So if one would want to learn to play this instrument but does not have the money to do so, he can get some free online acoustic guitar lessons instead.

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 other than that, there would be the videos that would be shown to the student. Videos are very important because it would provide the student with visuals so that he will have an easier time understanding the lesson. It is also from videos that he will learn the basic hand movements that he will be needing.

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.

After learning all of these things, then the next thing that one would learn is combining both techniques in order to play a short song. Of course one will be learning a very simple song first before going on to the more complicated ones. One will start with the intro which is usually the finger picking part then the chorus which would consist of strumming.

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.
