Learn to Play Guitar Online - The Truth About Online Guitar Courses Revealed

 

A friend recently asked me if I thought it was a worth while investment to take lessons online. When I was a boy I had taken traditional lessons from the local music store by my house. The whole learn to play guitar online thing was not very big in the early nineties so to answer his question I would have to do some research. The aim of this article is to both answer his question and give my opinion of whether it is better to take private lessons or learn to play guitar online.

To give an honest opinion of available online guitar courses I had to suck it up and buy a few of them. I thought this would be an expensive experiment, but I was shocked to find that for under $200 I was able to buy four different programs. While taking private lessons I used to pay $40 dollars a week. So far things were looking good, but I had my doubts as to whether the information contained in these online guitar courses was worth the cost.

I began using each of the four courses on a different student of mine to see what kind of progress they would make. The results where different for each, but ultimately each online program had something worth while to contribute to my students.

Their was one program however, that blew me away. This guy had developed a muscle memory technique that allowed students to build the strength and dexterity in there fingers much faster than the traditional methods I was taught and am teaching now. The student whom I test drove this course on made remarkable improvements in the first week and is now learning things in a weeks time that is taking the others months to perfect. Some people might say he just has more talent, but I too have applied the muscle memory techniques and have noticed an improvement in my own playing. Talent or not, this technique is worth its weight in gold.

I now show this technique to all my students and guard the secret that I really got the idea from the internet with my life. If all my students thought they could learn to play guitar online I would be out of a job.

For the friend who asked me if it was possible to learn to play guitar online I had to be honest. For the price you can't beat it. You don't have to lug your instrument back and forth to practice and you can go at your own pace.
