Free online guitar lessons
I love playing guitar! It's been slightly more than 2 years since I put my hands on a black
F-cut acoustic, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
In my college (IIT) days, I rarely used to get time to play, or rather learn guitar. With heavy workload
and day long classes in IIT, coming back and teaching students at home, going to gym, and learning programming,
I just could not afford to join an institute or a personal guitar teacher. But the guitar bug had bitten me deep, so the only
feasible way for me was to learn from the Internet. I asked myself:
if I can learn programming and ASP.NET through the Net, why can't guitar?
Afterall there are a plethora of free online lessons available.
So I started on this rather tough course of self learning. I must admit that it
was painstakingly difficult initally, and I felt like giving up many times,
but somehow the musical fire within me kept on burning, and fuelling me. Soon I realized a Golden Rule: learning by self needs a hell lot of
self motivation and patience.
After a few
frustrating months, I finally managed to force my guitar to churn out nice and musical sounds. Bravo! Encore!
And now after 2+ years,
I can confidentaly say that I am an intermediate guitarist, though not a virtuoso. I am the lead guitarist of a small band which goes by the name
of
Techtonica .
Based on my self learning experience, I decided to
thank and pay back the online community which helped me. And this was what provoked me to create a set of beginner lessons and publish them online.
These lessons below are very categorised as: Basic (intended for beginners), Advanced and Tips and Tricks.
