Using Video Guitar Lessons To Learn To Play The Guitar

By Juliette Cruz


Ask any musician and they will tell you that playing an instrument can be quite rewarding in many ways. When it comes to getting instruction many individuals learn from family members or friends. Seeing someone else play is by far the most effective means to learn. Video guitar lessons are an excellent way to learn to play the guitar. Read on and you will discover its many advantages.

Most people have learned something from a book. Most of us began our education thanks to books and still use them as adults to learn new things. Sometimes the things they teach are not very clear because of its limitations. Flat illustrations cannot fully convey some of the intricacies of playing an instrument. It also cannot tell you when you are doing things wrong.

In order to play an instrument you have to hold it the right way. The best way to see how to correctly hold the instrument is by having a three-dimensional image showing how it is done. Students generally learn much faster if they have a live demonstration in front of them.

As you already know music is sound. The best way to present both visual and audio instruction is through videos. The instructors can demonstrate how to hold and play the instrument so that the student can copy what they see. The videos also give the audio example of what they are supposed to replicate. They will know quickly whether or not what they are doing sounds like the instructor.

Most paper instructional materials used dots on a chart to show where the fingertips should be placed. These charts can get frustrating if the student cannot figure out how to properly hold their fingers to play. Proper technique will determine how well anyone will play an instrument so it is the first building block of learning.

One of the best features about videos is that you do not have to keep paying to use them. Once you purchase the videos you can use them as much as you want. Opting to pay for lessons will cost many times over what you will pay for a good set of videos. When you compare the cost of instructional videos to guitar lessons the bargain becomes evident.

If students pay for lessons chances are they are going to be put into a class with at least three other students. The instructor has to make it worth his time each week so students get very little one on one attention. Using videos you get all of the attention from the instructor as he shows how each and every technique is performed. The instructor never gets tired of repeating and will work as long as you do.

Video guitar lessons come in a variety of skill levels so you are sure to find one that suits you. Once you have learned the basics and proper techniques you are free to pursue any genre of music. Videos are a convenient and economical way to learn to play your guitar.
