Once upon a time, long, long ago men and women learnt to play guitar from books or, if were lucky, a guitar teacher. Books could supply us with the information we needed like what the note symbols meant and what a major key is, and a teacher could guide us, explaining things we did not understand, and showing us the right way to hold the guitar and to change chords. If we could not find a teacher, and books were not available to us then we learnt what music we could from the radio or records, piecing together how to make the music come out of the instrument.
Video guitar lessons present the best aspects of traditional one-on-one or group guitar lessons combined with the permanent record of the theory and history that you usually learn from books or by talking with your teacher.
Now through the magic of video, guitar lessons can be presented to us again and again, showing us how to place our fingers, the fine points of acoustic clawhammer picking, and what pentatonic scales sound like, all in high definition video. Not only do we see the hands of a real guitar player showing us the chord changes but the hands are twice their real size and can be slowed down if we are having a hard time understanding the lesson.
There are video lessons of impressive quality for any style of guitar playing.
If you are a beginner you can find the basic first steps in guitar playing explained by an experienced teacher. If you are an experienced guitarist who wants to expand your knowledge, you can find advanced or specialised courses in lead guitar or jazz or flamenco guitar to introduce you help you explore new musical territory. If your guitar course is on video you can keep it and watch it many times.
One advantage of video guitar lessons is that your video teacher doesn’t expect anything from you. You can be as stupid or bumbling as you like and the teacher on video will not bat an eyelid. He will patiently go through the whole lesson again without so much as a sigh or a roll of the eyes. And you only have to pay him once.
So video guitar lessons have many of the advantages of expensive lessons with live teachers without unnecessary expense and inconvenience of travelling to and from a teacher with whom you might not have a good working relationship.
