FREE Shocking Report Reveals Insider Information You Absolutely MUST KNOW Before Subscribing To Any Guitar Course!"

By Mike Jones

This article will explain what to look for when choosing a guitar course or lessons that are advertised on the internet. As you may already be aware there is an absolute mine field of courses out there and which one do you choose? I am going to list specific pointers that hopefully will guide you on the right path and safe you time and money as you start out as a beginner guitar player. A crucial point in your guitar playing career.

The internet has now become the perfect medium for sourcing all sorts of useful and not so useful information and as such more and more companies and individuals are listing their products. Here lies the problem. How do you choose between the many thousands of courses and guitar lessons that are becoming available to the beginner guitar player. You basically have two choices to make:

Online or Offline?

The internet is now filled with lots of options for the beginner guitar player wanting lessons. Before the advent of the internet students only really had one option and that was to physically travel for their guitar lesson to the tutors home or place of work. With all these options now available it is far easier to make costly mistakes in choosing the right set or more importantly wrong set of lessons or course.

Before making your decision on which type of course to go for I would like to go through the advantages and disadvantages of both online and offline courses as it will hopefully help you in your final decision. We'll start with online guitar lessons.

Online Guitar Lessons or Courses

An online guitar course is a course that is either downloadable or accessed by streaming were the material can be accessed while downloading is taking place. The disadvantage of tis type of course is that the quality suffers due to very large file sizes being needed to get a real good quality production. Compared with say a DVD the quality will be nowhere near as good. Also you will need a real fast internet connection to take advantage of these type of courses.

You will also find that is it quite hard to build up an archive of material that you can refer back to over and over again. With any guitar course you choose to go with, one of the major considerations is that you must be able to archive the material easily and be able to put your hands on a particular part of the course instantly should you wish to refer back to it at a later date. Also a good tip is to look for a REAL address. and telephone number, DO NOT go for any course that only gives you a PO Box as an address. A real address helps to confirm the company is legitimate and responsible

Offline Guitar Lessons or Courses

What are offline guitar courses?

Offline guitar courses or guitar lessons are lessons that are conducted by a live tutor who either comes to your home or you go to them and they charge you a fee for their services. Finding the right tutor for the job in your area can be a real challenge in itself as there are probably only a handful to choose from and are they any good?

Most live guitar tutors in my opinion will only give you just enough information to keep you coming back and charge you as much as they can get away with to keep you. Not the best scenario

Here are some disadvantages of going for regular guitar lessons.

* Having regular live guitar lessons brings up another problem. You have to have your lesson at a predetermined time and place meaning the rest of your day has to work around it.

* Your progression will be restricted if you are not playing tunes and songs you enjoy. Your tutor may not necessarily be into the type of music you enjoy and if he/she is not prepared to teach you using your type of music then boredom will set in.

* If you need an answer to a particular issue in between lessons, what do you do??? You end up waiting for next week to come along to get your questions answered, wasting time. Ideally you need your questions answering NOW, there and then when you are stuck, this allows you to get your questions answered immediately and move on to the next stage...

* People in general feel nervous when playing back a piece in front of their tutor and generally make some mistakes through their nervousness. This is a fact. They feel much more at home and play at their best in their own surroundings with no one watching over them...

So Where Does That Leave YOU?

There is an alternative to both these methods and has the advantages of both systems of learning.

The alternative is to have your lessons sent to you through the post on hard copy DVD. It is ordered over the internet allowing you to shop around WORLDWIDE and is then delivered through conventional post to your door. This method far outweighs the other two as it encompasses both, is of very high quality, you create an instant archive and lessons are given step by step in a chronological order by the same tutor.

So if this is my recommendation, which course do you choose???

Before choosing a course of lessons they MUST meet the following criteria:

* A FAST Structured Progression that is VERY EASY to follow and understand.

* A course of lessons created by someone who has a vast experience in the music industry, is a professional (gets paid for playing the guitar and hasnt got a job on the side), knows what he is doing and is not some wizz kid who has learned the guitar, played for about 3-4 years and trying to cash in and make a fast buck.

* A course you can study and take part in, in a nice relaxed environment with no pressure put upon you, helping you to progress at lightning pace because you are in a cool, relaxed frame of mind.

* A course of lessons that you know you CAN afford and you know will be great value for money ensuring you'll not get ripped off.

* A Solid, Cast Iron, No Questions Asked, FULL Money Back Guarantee. Just ask your guitar tutor for your money back once he has given you your lesson! It's not repeatable what he'll say!!!

* A course of lessons that doesn't beat around the bush and gives you what you are looking for straight out of the tin bringing you on as fast as possible...

* Lessons that you can refer back to over and over again that will inspire and motivate you with audio, video, illustrations and downloadable teaching aids

* All The Fast Track Short Cuts That The Professionals DON'T Want You to Know.

If you are in the process of looking for a guitar course or lessons my advice would be to take your time and do your research. There are some very, very good courses out there but be warned there are also some very bad one's. Use this guide to help you to choose a course that you think will best suit your needs.

If there is another piece of advice I can give you it would be this:

Scour the internet and choose a course that you think will best suit your needs using the guidelines I have listed here. Make sure you're happy by sticking with the first two or three lessons then once happy stick with the course. DO NOT be tempted to change tutor or course. You will eventually get tuned into the tutors way of teaching and putting the course across speeding up your learning progression.
