Beginner Guitar Lessons
Starting from zero is slightly different now that we have tons of free lessons on the web. But… this is creating a generation of confused people.
I’m a guitar teacher. I teach private lessons and some of my students learn most of the stuff by seeing youtube videos or free videos they find on the Internet. The problem is that some of those videos were posted by amateur guitar players, because we, teachers, need to charge at least something for our services in order to pay our bills.
These zillion free lessons are totally unorganized, so, after learning from these 3 minute “how to play a trick” videos, people end up, playing the intro of a specific song, the solo of a specific song, the chords of the “chorus” part of a song, the trick on the “beat it” guitar solo but, most of the time they do not gain any VALUABLE knowledge that would put them in a path of progress.
Most of my students, for example, come to me with videos of the songs they want to play after they tried to play it on their own but couldn’t figure it out… OF COURSE ! how are they going to figure it out if they don’t know anything about how music is built ?
My point is… If you are a beginner, YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE and THEN… you can have a blast with free lessons and “how to do tricks” videos.
That’s why I created www.guitarsimple.com which is a website with beginner guitar lessons that can guide anyone to start from zero to a level of basic guitar knowledge and skills, so anyone can learn and decide later, the path to follow after having some basic control over the acoustic and electric guitar.
I understand the kids’ hype for learning tricks and songs, but that can be done after learning the guitar basics. The cost is low because everything is fully automated. After you complete your payment, the system takes you to the videos and you can have access in 5 minutes. It works 24 hours a day, I just answer my students questions and try to help them anytime they need assistance but all stuff is pretty much automated so you can have immediate access from any part of the world (if you have an Internet connection) for a very low cost.
