Online Electric Guitar Tutorials

By John Dorian


Music serves many purposes in our lives, from relaxing after a stressful day or simply changing a bad mood to good. And if you want to have the ultimate musical experience while having fun with a new talent, you can learn how to play a musical instrument. One way to do so is on the Internet, where you can find several sites that can teach you how to play electric guitar.

Though mainly used in rock music, the electric guitar is versatile enough to be played in other genres, due to its different sounds. To wit, the electric guitar plays a huge part in popular forms of music like rock, country and western, blues, pop, or even easy listening music. A lot of people, especially youngsters, want to learn to play guitar to emulate their favorite bands, but don't have the cash to learn in person from a professional. But there are more and more websites now that offer electric guitar lessons that teach you a lot without costing you a cent.

One disadvantage of learning electric guitar online is the fact that since everything's virtual, you don't have a guitar teacher to guide your fingers to playing the right chords. Fortunately there are other benefits to online guitar lessons. First of all, lessons are free. And if you need to ask your teacher something, all you need to do is type in your question in chat window, or send him or her an email. Also, while most offline guitar tutorials have a set curriculum, you usually won't online, as you can choose which lessons you wish to take, and when to take them.

There are so many different kinds of music, and sub-genres too, and likewise, many different ways to play guitar. Some guitar students prefer to learn chords, while others go into the technical business of reading tablatures, or a system used to connect a series of notes together. You can choose to strum your guitar or pluck the strings, both giving different sounds. And if you have the money, you can invest on stompboxes and pedals to give your guitar a boost or a change in sound.

You can either do your own research or consult someone else with online guitar learning experience for their advice on the best tutorial websites online. If you choose the right website, you can be on your way to playing the electric guitar like a professional, if not like your idols.
