All About 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 usually, these internet classes would consist of some notes accompanied with videos. These notes would usually contain the basic strings and the parts of the instrument. After that, these notes would contain the major and minor chords that one will be playing throughout the lesson.

Now the videos are extremely important simply because they provide the visual aids of the lesson. If the lesson is all text and no visual aids, it will be extremely hard for the student to grasp the concepts of guitar playing. Through the videos, one will also be able to know how to properly move his hands when he is playing.

Now for those who have not taken up these sort of lessons yet, here is an overview of what will be taught. Now the very first thing that would be taught would be of course the strings of the guitar because these are the things that would create the sounds. From there, the videos would be showing the student the different sounds that each string makes.

After learning the basic notes, one will now be touching some strings together to form a uniform sound. This uniform sound is known as a chord and it will be used when one is strumming. One will first learn the basic major chords which are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G and will then go on to learn the basic 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.

So as one can see, it is actually possible to learn how to play a guitar through the internet. Now do remember that nothing would beat personalized attention simply because if one learns from the internet, he cannot ask any questions. However, if one is just after the basics of playing the instrument, then he can actually just learn through online teaching instead of signing up for a real class.
