There are an abundance of free video guitar lessons uploaded to the web, just do a search in You Tube and you’ll see some of the thousands available.

The quality of free video guitar lessons can vary greatly. For example the producer could be a professional teacher promoting a website or an amateur in his/her bedroom. However, not everyone can make quality video guitar lessons.

One of the main problems when learning from free video guitar lessons is that often complete series of lessons are not made. Rather it’s just a taster or a lesson for a single technique or song. This can leave beginners learning guitar in dribs and drabs which is ultimately unsatisfying.

As a consequence some find learning from free video guitar lessons ultimately unrewarding in the long term.

With a bit of searching you can still find some really great free video guitar lessons uploaded from professional teachers. Aside from teaching you something useful it will also give you a clear indication of what more you could learn from other lessons they offer in the series.

The main advantage and even purpose of free video guitar lessons must be that they give you the opportunity to try out the teaching method of a guitar website before you commit to a membership. If the lessons are of high quality, clear and precise, then it’s easy to feel confident about spending some money to learn more.

Now how do we find these free video guitar lessons? Well the biggest resource is still going to be videos uploaded to You Tube followed by doing a search in Google. Hey, be aware that sometimes websites will falsely offer the ‘carrot’ of free lessons only as a gimmick to get you to their homepage where in fact you’ll find none!

Probably the best use of free video guitar lessons is when you want to learn just one specific song or technique rather than an entire guitar method. Its also good to combine videos from different sources and in combination with 1-1 lessons or books you may be learning from.

Learning from lots of different sources is a good approach, just make sure one of them is a compete method which is being supplemented by the others. For example you could have 1-1 lessons and supplement them with the free video guitar lessons offered online.

Happiest news of all is that the number and competition from guitar websites is set only to increase. This will certainly make the availability of free video guitar lessons grow to the advantage of everyone trying to learn guitar.
