If you are serious about learning how to play the electric guitar – the details of guitar theory, scales and chords – or if you have always dreamed of playing in a band, then you should consider taking basic electric guitar lessons online. One of the great things about learning guitar online is that you can access any or all of the lessons at any time, with all the information available instantly.
Many people want to play the guitar well but lack the knowledge or the skills and don’t have the time or money for formal lessons. Now with lessons available online, it is possible for you to learn to play virtually any guitar song you hear. With many of the online programs, it is also possible to download free lessons to get you started!
Most of the online guitar websites offer lessons in the form of video tutorials, and utilize a comprehensive library of the most commonly used chord progressions. Detailed instruction on how to quickly master impressive skills, such as picking and strumming styles, percussive strum, deadening, staccato strum, tricked out scales, , transposing keys, vibrato, are available with online lessons.
Here are a few secrets to learning to play the guitar:
- Study and learn the functions of the different guitar parts

- Don’t rush into playing the guitar. Take it slowly at first and pay attention to picking and finger movements.
- Purchase a Metronome. This will help you find the right speed when playing the scales
- Build up the muscles in your hand by squeezing a tennis ball
- Research and choose online guitar instructions, especially those that offer Free Lessons

Where can I find good heavy metal guitar lessons or tutorials for free or very cheap?
I’ve had an electric guitar and amp laying around for quite some time that I mess around with now and then, but I’m not really that good. To be honest, its not really a hobby I plan on investing alot of time into, but I really would like to learn to rock harder, and really get the guitar to scream. Any good sources of free online tutorials, or perhaps a good cheap book?
I see alot of guitar lessons, but they are all pretty much stuff like all the basic chords, reading music, etc. I’m not concerned about that, I just want to be able to rock hard, and hit all those high pitch notes way back close on the frets. I’ve never been able to make anything sound good way in close there, nor have I found any good chords that play back there.
Thanks.
Check your local newspaper or look at adverts at your local instrument shop.
