subject: Finding Beginner Guitar Lessons [print this page] In the eyes of many beginner guitar players, finding beginner guitar lessons that are helpful and motivational can seem impossible and frustrating, to say the least. Finding tutorials and lessons, especially online through programs and websites that teach beginners to play the guitar, does not have to be so complicated, though. It is important to keep a few simple steps in mind as you go along in the process. Following them can help you ensure you find a good one.
Criterion
What you'll do first is often the easiest step in the process, because it is based on what your personal preferences are. All you have to do is come up with a list of preferences, features that you would like to see in your tutorial of choice. Examples of these features could be whether it tests after each lesson, or whether it plays straight through or pauses, or even if it is in tutorial or video form.
Searching
Your next step in the process of finding beginner guitar lessons is to do a little research with your list of criteria in hand. Choose your favorite internet search engine and a few really good keywords that relate both to beginner guitar lessons and your criteria, and then search. In most cases you can search for them by price or criteria, and most websites will let you read a little about them to help you narrow it down to a few choices.
Testing
The next step is to test out your narrowed-down options for online tutorials and websites. Beginner guitar lessons, at least good ones, online will usually let you walk through the first lesson or so, or let you play along with a demo so you can see how it works. Go with your gut on this one, because you will be making your final decision soon and you will be committing money and time into it.
Choosing
Finally, once you have followed all of the above steps, you have to make perhaps the hardest decision ' which one to go with. This can be difficult because many tutorials charge for their services, so depending on how much your options cost you could be wasting money. Make sure the one you choose is based on your criteria as well as your first impression of the program when you tested it out. This will ensure your best choice once it is finally made.
