Those who have always wanted to learn to play the guitar, but have never had the time, the money or the patience to be taught by a good one or to take lessons, can connect to the internet and use the free Instinct web application, truly exceptional and unique in its kind, which adopts an innovative and surprisingly effective approach to learning. The DIY teaching method is always to watch and study from a good one, observe how your fingers move. On Youtube there are many video tutorials that can be followed to learn, but, being filmed, they are not interactive. I would like to recommend the fachords.com site as the best there is today to learn to play a guitar with free, easy and fun lessons, for both children and adults.
This interactive website that teaches, step by step, how to play the guitar, starting from scratch, up to more complex chords and riffs and complete songs. This wonderful free online program should be used with a real, new or old, classic, electric or acoustic guitar in hand. It is not necessary to connect it to the computer which must only have speakers and microphone. If, however, you do not have a guitar available, you can play using the mouse with the virtual guitar which is very nice to see and play even if, obviously, it serves less for educational purposes.
The site is divided into three sections, one with courses, one for playing riffs and complete music, the third with a guitar tuner. From the top menu, with the Year of Rock section, you can register to receive lessons via email and participate in the general rankings with other users. You can immediately notice the graphic quality of the site, which almost looks like a video game for children, with nice and light drawings that draw a complex and serious program. The guitar lessons are many, all practical, divided into groups, starting from the basics to advanced courses . In one lesson the beautiful big guitar is displayed, with the notes to be played above and the position of the fingers below. The application allows you to rehearse each note or chord until it is played correctly .
Other very valid and professional-level sites for learning to play guitar online are those indicated in the guide to tune the guitar and find chords and notes including Chordify which not only shows the chords to be played, but makes it feel and shows us when you need to play a certain chord in real time and know when to touch the correct string.
Basically a perfect site to learn to play on your own.
In addition to these, I remember also talking about:
- Play piano and guitar on Youtube with music videos
- Play the guitar following the notes on the computer
- Play following videos and guitar chords, even without knowing the notes
