GuitarInstructor.com has carved out six learning paths for beginning guitarists, allowing you to decide how you would like to learn — electric, acoustic, tab-only, standard musical notation, chords first, classical style, or even just video. The first five paths listed here consist of "printed" lessons with accompanying audio and video files of each example, so you can hear and see exactly how it's supposed to sound. The sixth is a video-only course, but each lesson contains onscreen guitar tab.
Using a tab-only approach, beginners learn notes and chords by playing real riffs and songs, including "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Crazy Train," and "Wild Thing."
For the beginning acoustic player, this tab-only method teaches chords first, so you can strum along to popular riffs and songs like "Free Fallin'," "Space Oddity," and "Eleanor Rigby" right away.
Based on the Hal Leonard Guitar Method, the best-selling guitar method in the world, beginning guitarists learn how to play using standard musical notation.
A fun and easy course that teaches children to play guitar and popular songs faster than ever, using helpful beginner techniques such as one-finger chords.
We've organized a Core Curriculum from our guitar video lessons for beginners, covering everything from notes, scales, and chords to rhythm and lead guitar basics.
This impressive pathway comes from Matthew Von Doran's comprehensive 99 Lessons! course, featuring over 14 hours of video instruction on topics ranging from basic chords, fingerpicking, and strumming patterns to scales, articulation, and riffs.
