One of the most famous instruments would be none other than the guitar because there are so many people who play it and there are so many people who want to learn how to play it. Now before the internet was made available, people had to pay teachers to teach them the basics of playing this instruments. Nowadays, one can actually get free online acoustic guitar lessons in order to get the basics down.

Now if one has never tried one of these things before, then here are some things to expect. Now in a nutshell, these online lessons would be making use of videos and just some text. Although most of the time the lessons would be in video form, there are times that there would be text so that one will be able to practice when he is not in front of the computer.

Now the videos are extremely important simply because they provide the visual aids of the lesson. If the lesson is all text and no visual aids, it will be extremely hard for the student to grasp the concepts of guitar playing. Through the videos, one will also be able to know how to properly move his hands when he is playing.

Now if one would begin the lesson, he will first start with the very basics. The one part that the teacher would really concentrate on would be the strings because these are the things that would make the tunes that people would hear. He would be learning the different tunes that all of the strings would create.

After learning the basic notes, one will now be touching some strings together to form a uniform sound. This uniform sound is known as a chord and it will be used when one is strumming. One will first learn the basic major chords which are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G and will then go on to learn the basic minor chords.

Now after learning the basic chords, one will now be learning the art of finger picking or simply picking the notes in a way that would make a tune. Now this would make a slightly less heavy sound as to the strumming of course because the strings are sounded one by one. Now the videos would be showing the viewers the hand positions for finger picking.

After learning finger picking, one will now be merging both of the techniques and would be now playing a simple song. Now one would most likely be playing a very short song first since it is his first time to play the guitar. He will most likely learn a song with an intro that requires easy finger picking and a chorus that requires strumming of basic chords.

Now if one would want to really delve into the art of playing the guitar, nothing will replace real lessons. If one would just want to learn the basics so that he will be able to jam with his friends in parties or gatherings, then internet lessons will suffice. These internet lessons will be able to teach viewers the basics of playing the instrument really fast.
