For many people the internet is a giant playground and there are many ways to enjoy playing. You can play games and some can be played for prizes or even cash. You can learn to play games. You can pay to play and you can play for free. You can even make virtual play dates online. So why not learn to play the guitar online?
Think about it. You can take your love of music combined with your relationship with your computer and learn a wonderful skill. You can learn three chords and start strumming while you and your friends sing along to hundreds of popular songs. Many music instructors and especially guitar teachers will insist that weekly lessons are the only way to go. Their strongest argument is that a student may not arch their hand correctly or may not position the instrument properly. The student will commit a bad habit and there will be no one there to correct it in the beginning stages. I believe that may be more true of young children but after a certain age I think most of us can watch the presentation on our computer screen and compare our posture and techniques to the instruction and do just fine.
One of the immediate advantages of learning to play the guitar online is that no matter where we are geographically located we are certainly near our computers. Your community may not have the instruction available to learn classical guitar but your virtual community does. Once you have committed to learning to play the guitar online you will need to research the free versus purchase programs that you can select from to achieve your goals. Make sure you pick a program that has a teaching method that matches up to your habits and personality. You will want an online guitar program that helps you organize your practice time while offering appropriate motivation. These features should always fuel your ambition and help you achieve the kind of results that make you eager for your next online session.
Your online software should emphasize the fundamentals and present them in a manner that accounts for the student being alone in front of their computer. Proper techniques should be illustrated with video clips, displays, and views that include shots from the students' line of sight. You need to read reviews and find out what other people are saying about the program you are considering for your lessons.
Think about learning to play the guitar online like I do about working from home. When I first began working at home I got up in the morning to shave, shower and dress. Then I grabbed my coffee and went to my home office. I created a routine and a schedule and committed myself to that daily procedure. No television or wandering into the kitchen or talking to the neighbors. If you make the choice to learn to play the guitar online it is important to commit to your lessons, zealously protect your practice time, and use the built in features to measure your progress. There is work time and there is play time. If you commit to performing the work you will easily move from where you play the guitar online to playing for your family or that school fund raiser. You may even get so good that you can "play for pay" and schedule lots of play dates.
