hmm...guitar....
Hey. Im getting a guitar for my birthday. And the sad thing is that i dont kow how to play one. Which means i need lessons. But i am lacking in the monetry department at the moment... so im gonna be a laxy screw and get them off the internet or summink.
Does anyone here use those online guitar lessons?? Do you reckon theyre any better/ worse than real live people lessons??
Any tips on starting out on the guitar would be peachy too.
Thanks n stuff...

Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
I got a bass for my birthday and had no idea how to play it and was (still am) to busy to take lessons. So my dad bought me a starter book and I tought myself, all you need is dedication!
And I think that teaching yourself has a few advantages (like you can move at your own pace), but a real teacher can push you usually more then you can push yourself.
Hope I helped! Em'lee
BTW: Who Moved My Cheese? was an awesome book.

Well, Mordak, I think it all depends on what kind of guitar music you want to learn. If you want to learn how to play classically, you would need to take lessons. If you have your heart set on more popular music (rock, metal, punk, ballad, etc), you might be able to pick *some* of it up yourself. There are a thousand sites on the internet (which I know none of) that have hundreds of songs and chord charts and tabs and other things. And most of it's free.
Most of the people I know that learned how to play guitar picked it up rather quickly by themselves (I, on the other hand, know four chords), in at least six months to a year. But, the self-taught people that were really good had some things in common. 1. They practice a lot. 2. They always jam with their friends to pick up new songs and techniques (this is the best free way to learn, surround yourself with people who know it better than you). 3. They learn about technique, theory, and finger positions, even if it's through a little book they bought for $9.95.
Good luck with your new instrument.

I can't see on-line lessons being very useful. There's no interation with the instructor, no actual feedback from a teacher. No one to tell you if you're really doing it right... it just won't really work from a practical standpoint.

you don't neccesarily need lessons. Get some books on picking and stuff like that and just flow with it. Or you could mooch lessons off a geetar-playing friend.

You should probably save up and get lessons. I don't know how you could possibly learn guitar over the internet.

i don't play a guitar but if you have ten or five dollers then go to media play and by on there just as good. see if it helps you if not or if you don't want to then look on the internet and see what happens.
Always lil attitude

I don't think anything can really beat human instruction, but i have seen some very good players who used 'tech-yourself' books. I've no idea what internet lessons are like, but I would expect you still have to pay for them, and they may not be that helpful. I would advise going to a music shop and asking about books, or internet tuiton there.
