Free Ultimate Guitar Lessons

A friend told me that she has started taking guitar lessons again. I was surprised. You CAN play guitar? She has two at home but I didn’t think she could. She didn’t look like she could. She puts me to shame, you know? I have a guitar at home too but never had the inclination to learn! I guess I just do not have the long attention span.

If you are trying to learn guitar, no matter if you already know the basics, you should check out this collection of guitar lessons. I couldn’t make head or tail of the lessons so I can’t tell if they are easy to pick up unsupervised but no harm trying, right? Think of the money you’d be saving just learning guitar lessons from the web!

Free Online Guitar Lessons

My sister bought a guitar when she was in primary school but never got to learn it. Her teacher told her that her fingers are too short and she will only be wasting her time, money and effort if she takes up guitar. She then switched to the piano.

My sister has since moved out and last month when I was spring cleaning our room, found her old guitar. I thought I would learn to play it but I am too cheap to pay for lessons. I do dream of playing the guitar like a pro, like Santana, for instance, but I don’t think I have the talent!

This morning, by chance, I came upon the website of Gibson which has free guitar lessons that we could download freely and learn. I don’t know if these lessons would be useful for people like me who don’t even know the basics of playing guitar. Never mind. I shall try.

Free Piano & Guitar Music

It’s very weird that although we have a piano and guitar at home, I was never sent to music classes. My older brother and sister went to music school though, albeit only at elementary level because by the time I was old enough to go, my parents could no longer afford the lessons.

Yesterday, while looking for something online, by chance, I came upon this site called G Major Music Theory that offers free music lessons for piano and guitar. If you are just starting on the piano or guitar, this site also have music for beginners.

For each piece of music, you can download the music sheet in .pdf formal or listen to the audio clip to give you an idea of how the music sounds like.

A friend asked me why do I search all over the internet looking for free stuff to post on my blog without compensation. Well, I believe in helping to spread the word if something free is beneficial to people.
