Learn Electric Guitar Online – What My Half-Ass Research Revealed
Can you really learn electric guitar online?
I have wanted to learn electric guitar since I was a kid. It’s just something about it that really gives me a rush. For me, it wasn’t about looking cool or getting girls, it was more for the music. I have always had kind of a creative bent, and really liked the music you could make with an electric guitar.
I didn’t really pick it up though until I was older because I got busy with all sorts of stupid things that eat up your time. And I didn’t really have a family that supported me in playing. So, when I got out on my own I decided to learn how to play.
I bought an electric guitar and amp, but needed some way to learn how to play. I explored the options and boiled them down to two – I could learn electric guitar online or I could take private lessons.
I chose to learn electric guitar online with video lessons instead of private lessons really only because of cost and convenience. It was much cheaper than private lessons and I could learn any time I wanted; I did not have to wait for my next lesson. Also, if I wanted to explore other genre’s other than just rock or blues, for example, I could do that.
It’s a bit overwhelming though when it comes to wanting to learn electric guitar online. At least is was for me. There are a ton of free lessons on Youtube, but I never really found any rhyme or reason to them. There was no structure, just a bunch of videos. But, if you are looking for something specific, you may be able to find it there.
There is also a site called justinguitar.com. This is a pretty good site as there are a number of lessons there to learn guitar as well and it’s completely free. My only problem with it is there are not many electric guitar lessons, I did not like his style and I wanted more variety with instructors and styles. But if you are strapped for cash and want to learn electric guitar online, it’s worth checking out.
The final option I found, which I ended up going with, is a site called Jamplay.com. This is a paid subscription online video guitar learning site that has something like 5,000 video lessons and over 40 different instructors. They also teach different styles and genre’s, so you are not stuck to one style. I also did a video showing the inside of my account so you can see what it looks like on the inside. Just go here.
In addition to Jamplay.com, there are other similar sites, like Guitartricks.com. These were good too, but I just preferred Jamplay for some reason. It’s only $15-$20 per month and I have learned a lot.
So, if you want to learn electric guitar online, do your own research and check out some of the various sites. Either way, learn to play electric guitar with online videos is a good way to go.
Have fun playing man!
And if it you get the itch, learn electric guitar online, cause it’s actually pretty cool!
