I think those free guitar lesson days are over, if you had a site would you teach for free, I think not. Some of them have a few free lessons as an introduction, and then you have to play. If everyone could get lessons for free who would go to the music stores anymore, you get what you pay for anyway. And as for free music, i think those days are over also, a lot of sites that use to have a few bits of music for free are no longer there, I only know of a few, not like there use to be. I think if you want anything worth while your going to have to pay. Try these and see if you can get anything out of them, good luck. Bye.

Joseph asks…

what guitar should i get acoustic or electric?

Okay my mom says that it’s a lot better for me to play acoustic guitar then electric but i think she does saying that becuase she hates the beautiful noise that comes out of it. so that just an excuse and a lie.
So this place i know is having a promotion they’ll give you a free guitar if you purchase lessons that are only 90 bucks good deal. so if i buy lessons and get an acoustic guitar i’ll just need to buy a case and some polish for the guitar and just some back up strings. My mom says that it’s a good way to learn how to play the guitar. BUT! I realllllllly want the electric. And if i buy the lessons and get the eletric for free then i need to buy a case, polish, amp, and the amp cost a lot so this is what my hear wants witch is the eletric against what my mom and my brain wants witch is acoutsic guitar. so simple i’m going to leave up to you guys. so when you guys answer this say why the electric/acoustic is better and say something about experince please what should i buy? oh and sorry for all the errors at first i wasnt messing up and now i dont care :) thanks
hey mikey just mikey, honestly dude if you cant read what’s above then either A you need glasses B you lost your glasses C you need to go back to kindergarten did you understand me? or do i need to use smaller words like
u mikey need kindergarten? hope that i am 100 percent clear.

Many say that acoustic is better to start with but it isn’t. Electric guitars have thiner strings and give you more versatility to styles of music

Learning to Play Guitar – Acoustic vs Electric ?

I am planning on buying a guitar and “teaching myself to play” as money is an object so guitar lessons may not be affordable for me at the minute and also lots of people have recommended good internet guides. Anyway i have been looking at guitars and there are lots of good deals on electric guitars at the minute which i am considering buying but i have been told to learn on an acoustic guitar first, is this correct? What are you thoughts….. Should i start on an acoustic or do you think i could start on an electric? And does anyone know any good FREE tutorial websites for learning to play?

josh answers:

When I started to play the guitar I bought an acoustic guitar because everyone said that you “should” start by learn to play on an acoustic guitar.

If I would have made that choice again, I would definitely buy an electric as my first guitar. First of all the electric guitar is easier to play since you have thinner strings which are easier to press down, and most often you also have a thinner neck on an electric which many people find easier to play on.

You can play anything on an electric that you can play on acoustic, and if you miss the acoustic sound you can always buy an modeling guitar processor (effect pedal) to make you electric guitar sound (almost) like an acoustic (Digitech and Zoom are two popular examples of modeling guitar processors)

When I started to learn playing the guitar I found much useful information at Digifoot Guitar. Http://www.digifoot.se

First of all you should practice on basic open chords.

Print out the PDF at Digifoot – at least I found that very useful in the beginning.

At Digifoot Guitar there are some easy song with videos that you can try to play along with, when you have practiced for a while ;)

In order to become good you also have to know the notes of your strings, which you can read more about here.

Then I would recommend that you start looking at scales pretty soon. You need the scales when you want to improvise and soloing (although it will take some time until you start improvising), but the scales are great practice for your fingers!

If you want to impress your friends in an easy way, then you should definitely check out Power Chords!!

Http://www.digifoot.se/powerchords.htm

Barre chords is a must! But they are unfortunately pretty hard to master. You have to practice a lot, but do not give up!

Good Luck!!

Free music lessons in Denver, CO?

My family is pretty much broke and I finally got my hands on an electric guitar my generous friend gifted me but I can’t afford classes and I don’t know anyone that knows how to play. Or at least teach. So is there any program teach people to play guitar for free around Denver? Or in exchange of community service or something?

Michael asks…

Anyone at ISU want to teach Guitar Lessons??? ?

I am a senior at Indiana State University. I am trying to learn to play guitar. I am past the newbie stage. I can play a few songs. But i need a young teacher who likes to play what I like to play and can teach me or just show me how to play certain songs. I have an electric guitar but I enjoy playing my acoustic more often. So acoustic lessons are preferred. I live about 10 blocks south of campus at 6th and park.

The music I enjoy listening to is:

Dave Matthews Band (I am a huge fan, been to 25 shows, any song by them is awesome)

Alternative/Rock:

Hurt
Three Days Grace
Seether
Chevelle
Breaking Benjamin
(stuff like that)

I also love O.A.R.

Jack johnson is good too.

I also listen to some country like:

Brad Paisley
Toby Keith, etc etc.

So if you are from ISU and have some free time to teach me some acoustic guitar songs…That would be great…

P.S. I can’t pay you much…BUT…I have a kegerator and we can drink some beer while we play :)
