Want to learn to play the guitar for free?

It is not difficult to find free online guitar lessons on the internet nowadays: just google the topic and you will most likely get at least dozen links to online guitar learning resources. But which of them to choose? Different people apply different techniques to learning, and there is no guarantee that the first source you pick from the list will be the best one for you.
This is why I put the most valuable guitar playing resources together and reviewed them. I hope it will give you a clear picture of what is best for you.

Video Sample from NextLevelGuitar

Some advice on learning from videos.

When I was starting to learn the guitar from scratch, there was no Youtube, so I had hard times finding a visual support for my lessons. Nowaday youtube is flooded with hundreds of videos that teach you all kinds of tips and tricks, and many are really good ones. If you want to expand your knowledge and skills, just browse Youtube for free lessons and bookmark your favourite ones for easy access later.
If you cannot read notes, try to learn guitar tabs. They can be found anywhere online. Knowing guitar tablatures can help you better understand and learn all possible chord positions and fingering techniques.

Do not rush things once you have started learning. Take your time to learn each lesson properly before moving to something more advanced. Do not loose hope if something does not sound right - just put guitar away and let your fingers and hands have enough rest before you continue. This will keep your guitar lessons more productive in the long run.

I've had a guitar for over a year that I've intended on teaching myself to play, maybe some of these sites will give me the motivation to find the time. Thanks!
